Bringing together these two eras of documentary photography, also provides an opportunity to consider the shifts in documentary practice and image culture that have occurred in the intervening period. Section titles such as The Streak of Violence, The Deep Roots of Poverty and The Battle for Equality carry contemporary resonance. The exhibition highlights the themes present in both eras, confronting the myth of American exceptionalism with the reality of current events.įollowing Harbutts original concept, the 2022 exhibition follows the same chapter structure found in the 1969 publication. Revisiting and updating this exhibition creates a unique dialogue between leading photographers from 1968, such as Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt and Mary Ellen Mark, and the works of 2020 contemporaries, such as Kris Graves, Balazs Gardi, Zora J Murff, Sheila Pree Bright and Stacy Kranitz. Explored within this exhibition are deeply rooted national debates concerning gun control and racial inequality, as well as topics of global impact such as the digital revolution and the climate crisis. America in Crisis explores the similarities and differences between two eras in recent American history through the photographs produced during each pivotal period. The 2022 exhibition at Saatchi Gallery creates a dialogue between the original historical photographs from the 1969 Magnum project and new works produced five decades later, by diverse contemporary practitioners, during another tumultuous time in America.ĭespite the proliferation of fake news in recent years, the role of photography as a means to record, and to bear witness, retains more relevancy today than ever before.
The group project turned a critical eye on the U.S at a time of great social, political and cultural change, and examined key events in 1968 leading up to Nixons inauguration. I felt that the basic issue was that the traditional American self-image as learned through public schools, Hollywood movies, ads and Fourth of July speeches - the American Dream itself was being challenged In 1970, Charles Harbutt said of the original project: Several of us felt that the 1968 elections would be somehow special that deeper questions for America were riding than just electing a president. This Magnum Photos project was led by American photographer Charles Harbutt and Lee Jones, then Magnums New York bureau chief. Organised by Saatchi Gallery, the exhibition is curated by Sophie Wright, Gregory Harris from Atlantas High Museum of Art, and LA-based photographer and academic Tara Pixley.Īmerica in Crisis was a ground-breaking group initiative originally conceived in 1969 to assess the state of the nation. America in Crisis brings together 40 leading American photographers and over 120 works exploring social change in the U.S from the 1960s till today.
