Time and Place

Time and Place photograph by Jay Gould

Artists Antonio McAfee and Jay Gould utilize photography to examine issues of class and labor, collapsing the distance between past and present. McAfee uses photographs from W.E.B. DuBois’ Exhibit of American Negroes (1900), as well as other images of black life, to create composite, ethereal figures, while Gould’s portraits of contemporary Baltimoreans evoke historic 19th century photography. Additional works from the Walters’ collections will also be displayed in the house.
