"CURRENTS 99: ISSAC JULIEN"
In this exhibition, his first solo show in St. Louis, Isaac
Julien (British, born 1960) creates a new installation of photographs
from a larger project entitled “True North,” which reconsiders
the genre of the sublime in depictions of polar expeditions
through the lenses of mythology and fiction. The project was
inspired in part by the story of Matthew Henson, an African-American
who accompanied the white U.S. explorer Robert E. Peary on several
expeditions, including one on which they were believed to have
discovered the North Pole.
