ACQUIRE • FAIRGROUNDS
From Clint Willour's introduction "A Little Night Magic".
Sean Perry’s Fairgrounds lives in that mystical time just between dusk and dark. The photographs glow from within—a sense of the surreal all pervasive. These are dream images reminiscent of film noir. Devoid of sound, yet rich with resonance—tensions of melancholy and joy strangely mixed within them...
Fairgrounds is a hand-sewn single signature structure, with a duo-tone letterpress cover and 26 tri-tone plates. Published by Cloverleaf Press in a limited-edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. It features an introduction by curator Mr. Clint Willour, and concludes with a conversation between renowned art-director Mr. Gregory Wakabayashi and Sean Perry.
In addition to notable private collections, Fairgrounds is held in the permanent collections of The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The Wittliff Collection of Southwestern and Mexican Photography, and The Amon Carter Museum.
