Tabitha Soren

Jackson Fine Art is excited to announce its new representation of photographer Tabitha Soren with a solo exhibition of three of the artists’ most celebrated series — Running (2011 – 2014), Surface Tension (2013 – 2021), and Relief, an ongoing project that will be making its world premiere at the gallery. A visual artist in different domains for over twenty-five years, Soren has long explored the intersection of psychology, culture, politics, and the body. A former reporter for MTV News, ABC News, and NBC News, Soren begins each new series using the methodical investigative tools she used during her time in journalism. A through-line connects the three bodies of work in Jackson Fine Art’s show, evoking the universal paranoia and contemplation of our historical moment.

AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE
Relief (ongoing)
For Relief — on view exclusively for the first time — Tabitha returns to an interest in the overtly tactile, a reaction to the all-encompassing submersion into the digital that Surface Tension required of the artist (and viewer). Soren manipulates beautiful landscapes and formal portraits by cutting, bending, burning, blasting, or shooting the paper they are printed on. Each hand-made print creates collisions between fullness and emptiness, sky and ground, matter, and void. Through the holes, perforations and bumps, there is an interplay of order & precision and chaos & disintegration. The tension in the series comes from the beauty of the landscapes & portraits -- and the damage inflicted upon it by the artist.

Surface Tension (2013 - 2021)
Surface Tension is shot by shining raking light on a dirty iPad with 8 x10 inch film inside a view camera. The pictures underneath the fingerprints are all appropriated images, raising questions of authorship and authenticity. The resulting body of work, titled with source file names and urls, investigates modern technological mediation, the collision of our human bodies with what Jia Tolentino calls in The New Yorker the “cold and infinite knowledge of the world.” In addition to the exhibition at Jackson Fine Art, Surface Tension has received widespread attention in the press and by museums and is currently on view in four museum exhibitions internationally. A monograph (Surface Tension) was published by RVB Books in September of 2021.

RUNNING (2011 - 2014)
In Running, the earliest of the exhibited series, Soren photographs archetypal figures ambiguously captured in the act of arrival or flight, often in desolate urban landscapes. Though the series ended in 2014, their isolation recalls the quiet dread of the early days of the pandemic and presages an uncertain future.
