Press Release
Kavi Gupta Gallery is proud to present Curtis Mann’s debut Berlin exhibition, making oneself, making oneself.

In his latest body of work, Mann departs from his iconic geo-political subject matter to embrace the photographic process at its most fundamental. Wanting each photograph to be a participant in its production, Mann’s latest works are the elegant result of basic darkroom processes. Masking, spraying with bleach, and then developing select portions, Mann’s works draw from the principles and aesthetics of modernist composition to reevaluate the values these modes of working have for contemporary art today.

Curtis Mann (b. 1979 in Dayton, OH) lives and works in Chicago. Recent solo exhibitions includeEverything After (2010) at Kavi Gupta Gallery in Chicago, Something After (2010) at Galerie Almine Rech in Paris, and Modifications (2008) at Kusseneers Gallery in Antwerp. Mann has also been included in a number of group museum exhibitions, including 12x12: New Artists/New Work (2009) at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Chicago and the 2010 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum Of American Art in New York. making onself, making oneself (2011) is Mann’s second solo exhibition with Kavi Gupta Gallery.
