Solo exhibition of Jordan King
Seen Through Red is a book work by Jordan King expanded into an exhibition in Art Metropole’s project space. Drawing upon archival material in her personal collection, King presented Polaroids, photographs, ephemera, and press clippings from the years 2000–2006, facilitating an exploration of personal histories of photography and trans visual agency. Seen Through Red offered up an archival unearthing in the dissemination of an unmined expressive period in King’s early creative life. While King took great care in storing these items, many for over twenty years, this exhibition marked a recognition of the ways in which an archive may become a heavy weight to carry.
The title of the project considers both the material components, in reference to the clear red acrylic covers of the artist’s editions, while simultaneously gesturing toward notions of visibility, transparency, ‘red-light’, and sexuality.
The associated publication, featuring my essay “Viva La Silicona,” is available through Art Metropole.
