Todd Gray. Pluralities of Being

Gallery MOMO is pleased to present Pluralities of Being, the first solo exhibition in South Africa by renowned American artist Todd Gray. This exhibition disrupts and questions the role photography plays in the transmission of history and cultural identity. Gray was Michael Jackson’s personal photographer in the 1980’s and remixes these images with photographs made during his time of residency at NIROX in Johannesburg; collaged directly onto the gallery walls, they stack and make piles, forming photographic sculptural reliefs that further question where the image, space and content begin and end. Colliding with a new body of drawings made during his time on residency, Gray reframes and reveals an intimate and collective post-colonial, transatlantic memory.
