Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings — June 30-Sept. 23, 2018 at the Peabody Essex Museum

Opening day for the Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum is right around the corner! This blog post is static info about the event, per the Peabody Essex Museum for those who are searching for the basics of it.

“For more than forty years, Sally Mann has made experimental and hauntingly beautiful images that have made her one of the country’s most influential and distinguished photographers. The artist’s first major traveling exhibition, Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings, explores themes of family, memory, mortality, and home as well as the Southern landscape as repository of personal and collective memory. Some 115 photographs — many of which have not been exhibited or published previously — offer a sweeping overview of Mann’s artistic achievement, vision, and drive.

Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings is organized by the Peabody Essex Museum and the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The exhibition is made possible through a grant from The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, New York, and an important contribution from Susan Whitehead. Hunt’s Photo & Video and Canon U.S.A. are the corporate sponsors of this exhibition. Carolyn and Peter S. Lynch and The Lynch Foundation, and Susan and Appy Chandler provided generous support. We also recognize the generosity of the East India Marine Associates of the Peabody Essex Museum.”

This exhibit is on display at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem MA from June 30, 2018 through September 23, 2018. The Peabody Essex Museum is located at 161 Essex St. Salem, MA 01970. Enjoy!! <3
