Swanson Contemporary’s entry into this year’s Photo Biennial features James Robert Southard and Michael Brohm. The two-person exhibition is really two one-person shows in the same gallery. Southard’s photographs and videos come from a trip he took to Cuba, while Brohm is showing portraits from Perm, Russia. “Last spring I went to Cuba for a film festival to exhibit … and to shoot a new piece there,” says Southard. “My five … videos are not documentaries or narrative film analyzing Cuban politics. It is more a first hand reflection of my experiences there.” Brohm has been to Russia multiple times over the last ten years. Many of the images he shot will be featured in his upcoming book “Yesterday’s Enemies.”
