Colleen Plumb Photography And Video At Dina Mitrani Gallery And The Screening Room Miami

From April 10, 2014 through June 7, 2014

Dina Mitrani Gallery and The Screening Room Miami present their first collaboration, an exhibition of photography and video by Chicago-based artist Colleen Plumb. The gallery will exhibit the artist’s second solo series of photographs, Towards the Sky Again, 1997 – 2011. In The Screening Room (located next door) will present Weavings, comprised of two of Plumb’s video works, Thirty Times A Minute (2009-2014), and All Movement is Bound to be Towards A Perfect State (2009-2014).

Continuing her study of how humans interact, observe and consume the natural world, Plumb makes images of landscapes, real and artificial, untouched and constructed, while infusing them with a subtle, poetic perspective. The photographs have been grouped in diptychs and grids so the works visually and contextually “speak” to each other, also offering the viewer multi-layered readings. Plumb explains, “Both the photographs and videos examine ambivalence towards nature and animals, and the complex and contradictory ways it is woven through the fabric of culture. I’m interested in the voracious appetite humans have for (re)-connection with the natural world, whether in flesh or in reproduction, with admiration or obsession.” 

Colleen Plumb earned her BFA in Visual Communication from Northern Illinois University in 1992 and her MFA in Photography from Columbia College, Chicago (1999), where she serves an adjunct faculty member. Plumb’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago), the Milwaukee Art Museum, The Girls’ Club Collection (Fort Lauderdale) Fidelity Collection, Boston; and the Beijing Natural Cultural Center in China.

Both the Dina Mitrani Gallery and The Screening Room are located in the Mitrani Warehouse, where the sisters have converted their family’s clothing factory into a center for creative thinking for the last decade.
