“Everything was closed down. And the city responded by boarding up everything, from the courthouse to the public library to all of the businesses, all of the government agencies and city agencies. And then there was graffiti painted over all these things that had been boarded up by the protesters. And then the governor of the city, the mayor of the city, sent out a team of painters to paint all over the graffiti that had been applied to these walls” – Carrie Mae Weems
Weems confronts the systemic mechanisms of power that erase, silence, and conceal Black identities and perspectives in the public sphere. Through her
deliberate choices in framing and printing, Weems emphasizes the aesthetic similarities of censorship in Portland and the geometric abstractions produced primarily by privileged male artists and thereby considers which forms of expression are
disproportionately sanctioned and controlled in the United States.

"Evoking early photographic portraiture through their intimate scale, the works meditate on the enormity of global migration – from the transatlantic slave trade to contemporary economic displacement."

For five decades, Carrie Mae Weems (US, 1953) has built an influential and multifaceted oeuvre that draws on personal experiences to address the major social issues of our time. Throughout her work, she explores the construction of power, race, class and gender..
In The Heart of the Matter, Weems assumes a central position as a muse and guide, appearing in many of her series herself. Her body acts as an anchor: a figure moving through time, leading the viewer into spaces shaped by inequality or, at times, unity. Sometimes she averts her gaze, at other moments she looks directly at the viewer. In each instance, she invites reflection on the structures that determine our ways of seeing, remembering and assigning meaning.

“There’s something grand in the knowing and the creating of ourselves, and something grander still about how we know and create our personal histories,” Carrie Mae Weems observed in a 1984 artist statement for ‘Family Pictures and Stories’ (1978–84). Weems has returned periodically to this multigenerational, multimedia family album of photographs, text, and audio over the next forty years, and continues exploring its concerns with the relationships among the self, identity, and history.
Featured in AGBS’ Christian-Green Gallery, “Carrie Mae Weems: Something Grander Still” tracks the creation of ‘Family Pictures and Stories,’ focusing on Weems’s ongoing re-use of her family pictures and stories from the early 1980s to today. A study room in AGBS’ Idea Lab unfolds Weems’s participation in dialogues about the politics of photography in the 1980s and early 1990s. The study room collects art and publications made by artists and activists who embraced photography and video as means to bring visibility to marginalized experiences and resist forms of othering prevalent in mainstream media.
Following the journeys of Weems and her family pictures through art schools and museums as well as worlds of Black photography, the global social documentary movement, and feminist thought, “Something Grander Still” sheds new light on the development of one of the most significant artistic practices of the twenty-first century.
