From this Friday, MEET hosts the world premiere of 'Noticings', by American photographer and musician Patrick Sansone. The exhibition, curated by Juanjo M. Fuentes, brings together a selection of works made between 2019 and 2024.

What can be seen

Sansone's gaze has been drawn for years to the remains and vestiges of small-town mid-20th-century America. Worn signs, closed shop windows and empty lots acquire, through the filter of the Covid-19 lockdown, a new resonance. They are dated and, at the same time, timeless images that seem to show how the slow decline of the American dream has spread from its core outward. The show includes both photographs featured in the book 'Noticings' and works made in the following years, between 2022 and 2024. The book, Sansone's second monograph, was published fifteen years after '100 Polaroids' and is made up of images taken between the winter of 2019 and the summer of 2021.

The artist's career

Patrick Sansone is a photographer and musician. Born in Meridian, Mississippi, and living in Nashville, Tennessee, his photographic work focuses on observing the everyday American landscape through analogue processes. His work has been published in the photobooks '100 Polaroids' and 'Noticings'. In parallel, he pursues an international music career as a member of Wilco and co-founder of The Autumn Defense. Present at the presentation were Luis Lafuente, director of the Agencia Pública para la gestión de la Casa Natal de Pablo Ruiz Picasso y otros equipamientos museísticos y culturales; curator Juanjo M. Fuentes; the artist Patrick Sansone; Juan Carlos Barroso, regional head for Andalucía, Ceuta and Melilla of the Fundación "la Caixa"; and Juan Luis Ruiz, director of the Store Larios office of CaixaBank in Málaga.
