## Summary

Liberty Theater by Rosalind Fox Solomon, an embossed hardback photography book exploring race and segregation in the American South.

## Description

Liberty Theater is a vivid exploration of race, class and segregation in the American South. The book takes its title from the only cinema in Chattanooga, Tennessee that was open to people of colour in the early 1960s. Spanning the 1970s–1990s, the project began on the lawns of the Scottsboro Courthouse in Alabama where, in an historic case of injustice, seven young men of colour were falsely accused of rape and sentenced to jail for the better part of their lives. The courthouse served as a haunting backdrop to a monthly market at which Fox Solomon found a cacophonous performance of cultural ideologies and fantasies. In her acutely symbolic book, we find KKK badges, muskets, fake wigs, church attire and china dolls among preachers, landowners, and labourers.  Journeying from Alabama to Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina, Fox Solomon continued to build a body of photographs which, as Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa writes in his essay, ‘moves with effervescent grace from rebel musket to trophy wife, from linoleum square to yard sale, from clown to church to carnival, tracing a circuitous route through seven Stand Your Ground states’. Following her itinerant movement, at times the pictures in Liberty Theater allude to positive changes in race relations that have occurred since the Civil Rights Act. However, the world that Fox Solomon depicts speaks to a legacy of discrimination that has become increasingly apparent in the United States today: one of class and gender divisions, implied and overt racism, and competing notions of liberty.  Rosalind Fox Solomon is an artist who makes photographs, books and moving image. She has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a grant from the American Institute of Indian Studies. Her work has been exhibited widely including institutional solo exhibitions at the Willy Brandt-Haus, Berlin and at the Photographische Sammlung, Cologne. In 2010 the New York Film and Video Festival awarded her film A Woman I Once Knew with Best Experimental Short. In 2015 a selection of photographs from her 1988 solo exhibition ‘Portraits in the Time of AIDS’ was shown at Paris Photo in the Grand Palais Salon d’Honneur. Her books include Got to Go (MACK, 2016), THEM (MACK, 2014), Polish Shadow (Steidl, 2006), and her first monograph Chapalingas (Steidl & Die Photographische Sammlung, 2003). Most recently her work was included in the 2018 group show ‘Model, Arbus, Solomon’ at Bruce Silverstein Gallery, New York. Her solo exhibition Liberty Theater opens at Stephen Bulger Gallery, Toronto in September 2018.
