FRANK-RATCHYE PROJECT SPACE

Halfway to Something

Curated by Vanessa Perez Winder

The Frank-Ratchye Project Space is pleased to present Halfway to Something, an exhibition by studio artist and Bay Area Black Artist Studio Fellow Natalia Roberts. 

Halfway to Something marks the early stages of a portrait series of professional dancers photographed within large urban architectural spaces. Roberts began this collaborative endeavor during the course of her year-long fellowship not with an overdetermined plan, but with a recognition of her own need to move—out of personal overwhelm and political grief, and into something tactile, relational, and embodied. Rather than staging and manipulating specific poses, Roberts favors an open-ended and playful—albeit intentional—process to capturing movement; shaped by improvisation, discovery, and a shared respect for one another’s expressive instincts.
