Reckonings and Reconstructions

This exhibition and accompanying catalogue are the first large-scale survey of the Do Good Fund's remarkable and sweeping collection of photography made in the South from the 1950s to the present. Since its founding in 2012, the Do Good Fund has built amuseum-quality collection of photography that charts a visual narrative of the ever-changing American South. The collection includes images by more than 25 Guggenheim Fellows, five Magnum Photographers and two Henri Cartier-Bresson Award winners as well as images by lesser-known or emerging photographers from the region. In part a survey of the art and artists within Do Good's holdings, the exhibition is also and more crucially a scholarly investigation of southern photography since World War II--
