  • Press Release
    49 Geary Street, 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94108 t: 415 981 2661 f: 415 981 4041 fraenkelgallery.com For immediate release: 5 February – 4 April 2015 fraenkel gallery is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition of the work of Alec Soth. On view from February 5 – April 4, 2015, Alec Soth: Songbook will feature approximately 20 new and never-before-seen photographs. The artist will be present for the exhibition opening and signing of his new publication, Songbook, on Thursday, February 5, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Celebrated for his haunting and influential portraits and landscapes in such acclaimed books asSleeping by the Mississippi, Broken Manual, and NIAGARA, Alec Soth has recently turned his lens toward community life in the country. From 2012 to 2014 Soth traveled the United States looking for signs of social life in our era of virtual social networks. To aid in his search, Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of community newspaper reporter. From upstate New York to Silicon Valley, he attended hundreds of meetings, dances, festivals and family gatherings. With Songbook, Soth has stripped these pictures of their news context in order to highlight the longing for connection at their root. Fragmentary, funny, and sad, Songbook is a lyrical depiction of the tension between American individualism and the ongoing desire to be united. Alec Soth (b. 1969) is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His work has been presented at numerous museums, including solo exhibitions at the Jeu de Paume, Paris; Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Among his many publications are Dog Days, Bogotá; The Last Days of W; Fashion Magazine; and the LBM Dispatch series, with writer Brad Zellar.

    Carroll, Eric William. “I struggle when I know the words to a place by heart,” The Design Observer, May 19, 2014. Photographs from the irregular newspaper LBM Dispatch Howard in the asparagus patch of a community garden. Detroit. [Photo by Alec Soth, from LBM Dispatch #3: Michigan] Ten years ago, photographer Alec Soth established himself as a master of the 8x10 format in his series Sleeping by the Mississippi; these days he’s known for posting “unselfies” on Instagram. Where others might see creative regression, I see an artist determined to find an effective use for photography in an era when, as Soth says, “a document is being made of just about everything all of the time.” Lately Soth has been issuing “Dispatches” in the form of an irregular newspaper created with writer (and fellow Minnesotan) Brad Zellar. Together, they take road trips to distant states and report the stories of the people and the land. The partners work on their own deadline and produce a self-published broadsheet shortly after they return. The papers are simple — black and white, flash-lit photographs of people and landscapes, presented with titles and often with a brief text. Under the title, Jack. Downtown Dallas. 50th Anniversary of the J.F.K. assassination, we see a boy wearing a fedora and raincoat in front of a nondescript wall, avoiding eye contact with the photographer. We learn that he was named after Jack Kennedy, and that his parents have taken him out of school to attend the memorial. In another photograph, titled 88-year-old Bil (“My mother said she couldn’t pronounce the other L”).

  • The Wandering Spirit
    Photo Booth The Wandering Spirit By Rodrigo Canedo Gattegno December 16, 2013 1 / 14 USA. Denver, Colorado. 2013. The photographer Alec Soth and the writer Brad Zellar have undertaken a long-term project, born out of simple pleasure, that captures both the humanity and banality of the American continent. Their self-described “North American ramblings” are presented in an irregularly published newspaper titled The LBM Dispatch, which recalls the documentary-style photography of days long gone. Soth describes it as “being in the style of both newspaper journalism and the Walker Evans/James Agee approach in ‘Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.’ ” The project began with Soth asking Zellar to indulge him with an imaginary newspaper assignment for his birthday. They ended up covering a story about a stray cat living under a suburban freeway interchange. “Freed from the conventions of working for a real paper, Brad and I were able to get at the poignancy behind the somewhat trivial story,” Soth told me. Exhilarated by working on their own, the friends made their adventure into a more serious undertaking. After they published projects documenting Ohio, Michigan, and upstate New York, they foresaw a more Western future. Last summer, they traveled throughout Colorado for a few weeks, meeting hundreds of people and detailing the trivial, riveting moments of their lives. The images bring us face to face with the treasures (and terrors) of the eeting moment. The photographs document more than the place where they were taken; together, they form a study of the North American soul and the wandering spirit.
