Show Description:

The installation is divided into three sections:

1) Over 300 4” x 6” prints of Polaroid portraits from the ongoing series Instant Karma Portraits will run along either wall, unframed, in long horizontal strips.  Photo subjects include Obama Administration’s smaART Power program Jones collected working in Karachi, Pakistan and his home, New York.

2) In the middle of the gallery, a map of Karachi, Pakistan is projected on the floor.  Mapped onto this will be short videos from the Karachi Notes series.  Multiple headsets will be available to listen while viewing the videos.

3)  A sound piece will be located in a dark booth area in the rear of the space for two people to sit: on the floor is an illustration, which is revealed by a top-mounted, slowly revolving ultraviolet spotlight.
