Shimon Attie October 11 - November 3, 2022 Shimon Attie Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Shimon Attie. For his exhibition at Gallery Paule Anglim, entitled White Nights, Sugar Dreams, Shimon Attie will present a three-channel video and sound installation and related color photographs that were shown at last year's 46th Corcoran Biennial in Washington, DC. Stemming from work done during a residency at the Providence Public Library in Rhode Island, this project deals with the artist's experience of living with diabetes. Through his discussions with other diabetics and with students at the Rhode Island School of Design, Attie has developed a work that weighs the delicate balance of blood and sugar in a highly expressive and personal fashion. Shimon Attie is internationally renowned for his photography, video installations, and public artwork imbued with a sense of experience and cultural history. His work from 1991-3, Writing on the Wall, projected historical photographs of residents and businesses in Berlin's former Jewish quarter destroyed during the Second World War. In the more recent Between Dreams and History (1998), he undertook a similar project sponsored by Creative Time, Inc., in New York's Lower East Side. Attie had long-term residents of the neighborhood write down memories from their youth, which he then wove into a poetic text. This text was then projected by laser, seeming to write itself letter by letter, onto the walls of the neighborhood to evoke the experience and memories of its former inhabitants. The recipient of this year's Prix de Rome, which will take him to Italy for a residency this autumn, Shimon Attie's work is in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Biblioth�que Nationale, Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
