William Eggleston at home - Alex Soth

Myth, Manners and Memory: Photographers of the American South. (Only 4 Days Left!)

It’s the last week of this exhibition at The De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill (ends on the 3rd Jan). A very rare opportunity to see some legendary photographers work for free. I highly recommend a day trip to Bexhill for it.

The exhibition doesn’t set out to define the American South but explores what is perhaps indefinable -  the cultural complexities and tensions, the constant but unresolved dialogues between past and present, and the varying material patterns of everyday life in the South that might, however elusively, constitute its sense of identity.

Combining historical and contemporary work, the exhibition brings together a number of prominent American photographers including Walker Evans, William Eggleston, William Christenberry, Carrie Mae Weems, Alec Soth and Susan Lipper.
