Solo Show Merrick Morton: Un-Rehearsed
eTradeWire News/10762743
LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- Merrick Morton: Un-Rehearsed
Opening Reception March 30, 2024 6-9pm
www.easternprojectsgallery.com
With the publication of Clique: West Coast Portraits From the Hood [Hat & Beard Press] followers of Merrick Morton's over four decade career of street photography are reminded that, whatever its location, the real substance of a neighborhood is made of people, of individual and group personalities, of circumstance and shared modes of expression. Morton's camera has served both as a passport and portal, bridging cultural differences as he has gained the trust and, in a sense, artistic partnership of subjects. This solo exhibition includes documenting the Barrio and Inner City, incarcerated men and women in America's prisons, locked wards within the walls of a California state psychiatric hospital, portraits from cities, towns, and villages in Mexico and Cuba, and "Life of a Cholo" a special collaboration of poetry, photography and short film with actor/poet Richard Cabral. Richard will be hosting a QnA and- performing spoken word at a later date during the exhibition with short film screening of "Life of a Cholo". In counterpoint to the street scenes, Unrehearsed includes portraits of actors with whom Morton worked with on film sets. Behind Morton's lens, the performer dissolves but the subject remains.

In the directness with which Morton's subjects greet the camera, Morton earned the trust of people because he showed up for people who want to be seen –often ambivalent or challenging, usually intense - with people who feel their story is worth recording, if only in a single moment.
MERRICK MORTON:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Merrick Morton is a documentary/street photographer, and film set still photographer of more than 90 films including Fight Club, La Bamba, Colors, The Big Lebowski, and the Chicano classic Blood In Blood Out. His photographs of 1980's Southern California barrios and inner city communities capture an intimate look into a rarely seen side of Los Angeles, and were inspired by his interest in subcultures. His portraits of both incarcerated men and women portray a sense of strength and dignity; the images give viewers the chance to enter spaces they would otherwise never dare to. Other photographic essays of Morton include documenting locked wards at a California State Psychiatric Hospital, and extensive travels to Mexico and Cuba throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He is currently photographing the Cholo culture in Mexico City. Morton's documentary work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Guardian, and Vanity Fair.
