Charles Lee
November 7, 2023 —  February 3, 2024
Opening Reception with the artist: Friday, November 10, 6-8PM

SF Camerawork is pleased to present Bay Area artist Charles Lee’s first solo exhibition, sweat + dirt. The exhibition is a document and investigation of contemporary Black rodeo culture and cowfolk in the United States. The works and images in sweat + dirt were made in Louisiana, California’s Southern and Central Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Through Lee’s project, we are presented with contemporary evidence by which we can trace the multi-racial history and widespread geographic reach of country life, and the role of Black people in the development of U.S. western culture.
