Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present Not/Normal, a group exhibition curated in collaboration with Ceci Moss, including works by David Berezin, Janaye Brown, Kevin Jerome Everson, Steffani Jemison, Owen Kydd, and Nicolas Provost.As a marker of the extraordinary nature of our current political moment, the hashtag #notnormal emerged on Twitter directly following President Trump’s inauguration. However, the President’s ascent to power can be understood as a result of the longstanding history of intolerance, fear, white supremacy and the widening socioeconomic disparity within American culture. With this in mind, perhaps today’s circumstances are not so abnormal after all. The works in Not/Normal operate amidst this tension. The exhibition turns to the moving image to capture the fraught and unsettled mood of our social climate. These works poetically depict everyday scenes in the United States punctuated by unease, and explore how “normal” life persists under the weight of our current political situation.
