Big Medium, in collaboration with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, is proud to present Fictions More Precious by Rodell Warner, our Tito’s Prize 2023 awardee.
Fictions More Precious showcases a compelling blend of new and existing works from Warner’s Augmented Archive and Artificial Archive. Through digital interventions in archival imagery, Warner fictionalized the Caribbean’s past, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the region’s photographic archive. This exhibition delves into pivotal moments during photography's infancy, a period shaped by the complex dynamics of colonialism. Warner's work not only interrogates but also challenges and laments the authority of this archive.
The exhibition runs from March 8 until April 20, 2024, at Big Medium, located at 4201 South Congress Ave #323 from Thursday - Saturday 12:00 - 6:00 pm and It promises to be a captivating experience for art enthusiasts and those interested in exploring narratives through a unique lens. On Saturday, March 30, Rodell Warner will have a panel discussion and provide a guided tour of the exhibition; please stay tuned at bigmedium.org for more information.
