Dor Guez: Unfolding Negatives
Goodman Gallery is pleased to present ‘Unfolding Negatives’, a solo presentation by Jerusalem-born artist Dor Guez—his first in the gallery’s New York space. The exhibition will mark a return to US audiences since the recent war broke out in the Middle East.
The exhibition continues Guez’s exploration of the overlooked histories of his family and related communities, while also reflecting his engagement with American photographers who were active in the Levant during the first half of the 20th century.
The artist’s multicultural and multi-religious heritage—having a Palestinian mother from Lydda and an Arab-Jewish father from Tunisia—are often fundamental to his approach to the concepts of home and exile, underscoring how minorities often possess deeper insights into majority perspectives. Guez’s work points to the complexities between first-hand accounts of the past and dominant narratives through diverse mediums. His practice draws on archival materials from both public and private sources, exploring ways in which stories are formed.
