Todd Hido, Untitled #10474-c, 2011. Archival inkjet print, 30 x 30 inches.
Casemore Kirkeby invites you to the San Francisco opening of its inaugural solo exhibition, Todd Hido: Selections from a Survey. The exhibition will be held at our interim project space at 3328 22nd Street in San Francisco's Mission District. Casemore Kirkeby is a new gallery project and partnership between Julie Casemore and Stefan Kirkeby. Devoted to contemporary photographic practices, the gallery is scheduled to open its permanent location in the Dogpatch neighborhood in early 2016. This installation, drawn from Oakland-based artist Todd Hido's ever expanding archive, invites viewers to dwell on the images and ideas that have followed Hido throughout his career, continually finding new manifestations in his work.
This selection focuses on Hido's primary model Khrystyna - a tacit partner in his cinematic narratives, and a shape shifter in the nightscapes, interiors, and psychological landscapes that she haunts. The result is a deeply personal collection of imagery, often drawn from Hido's own biography and his childhood home of Kent, Ohio - the place that has guided him on his sustained inquiry into the darker aspects of American suburban life through the lens of his own imperfect memory. The exhibition will include several new, never before published works by Hido, along with classic pieces that become elements in his carefully composed sequences. Todd Hido: Selections from a Survey premiered at the 3rd edition of Paris Photo Los Angeles in May of 2015.
