Mimi Plumb: The White Sky – Artist Reception
November 27, 2021 @ 2:00 pm PST - 5:00 pm PST
Robert Koch Gallery presents Mimi Plumb: The White Sky, the gallery’s second exhibition by American photographer Mimi Plumb. Plumb’s black and white photographs of 1970s life in her hometown Walnut Creek and surrounding Bay Area expound evocatively on the peculiar banality of Californian suburban sprawl, touching on candid narratives of youthful summertime wanderlust. The resulting eerily compelling images lead the viewer through tangential story lines that are mysterious yet familiar.
The exhibition is accompanied by a monograph of the same title (Stanley/Barker, 2020) and like Plumb’s seminal monograph Landfall (TBW Books, 2018), The White Sky has received much critical acclaim. Both publications were selected as one of the best photography monographs of that year by a number of critics and photography luminaries.
