James Casebere: Home and Other Fictions
3 August – 28 October 2012
Presenting the first solo exhibition of works by James Casebere in Scotland, this exhibition spans over thirty years of the artist's practice and includes works from Life Stories, a series started in 1976, alongside works from 2003; Dorm Room, Garage and Turning Hallway, shown for the first time in the UK with the more recent and critically acclaimed Landscape with Houses series.
Working at the forefront of constructed photography since the late seventies, Casebere is associated with The Pictures Generation, a group of artists who combined a Pop obsession with media culture with the critical framework of Conceptual Art to redefine photography as a Postmodern medium in the 1970s and 1980s. Based upon his understanding of architectural, anthropological, art historical and cinematic sources, Casebere’s detailed photographs address contemporary and historical social concerns.
