From Foto Relevance: "Foto Relevance is pleased to present Smoke Bombs and Border Crossings, the gallery's debut solo exhibition of works by Nancy Newberry. Influenced by her Italian heritage and her Texan roots, the photographs in the show function as a contemporary Spaghetti Western, investigating the spectacle at the core of the Wild West. With meticulous attention to costume and uniform, the director artfully stages scenes of archetypal characters - American cowboys, Mexican charros, and soldiers costumed in marching band uniforms. Fictional stories woven by Western films have become intertwined with real histories over time, and myth and history are no longer separable. Newberry's work investigates the effect of these fantasy narratives in the creation of nationalism and cultural identities, including how those identities are performed through costume and language. The show will be on view at Foto Relevance from March 26th through May 7th, 2022."
