Press Release

Does This Sound Like You?
June 2 - July 30, 2006

Solomon Projects is pleased to announce Does This Sound Like You?, an exhibition of new photographs by Atlanta-based artist, Sarah Hobbs. The show will premiere a series of seven, large-format color photographs. This is the artist's second solo exhibition at Solomon Projects following her successful 2003 exhibition, Small Problems in Living. The exhibition will be on view from June 2 to July 30, 2006. An opening reception with the artist will be held on Friday, June 2 from 6-8 PM.

Does This Sound Like You? continues the artist's interest in psychological-based work, this time exploring the human tendency to categorize ourselves and others based on dominant personality traits. The title of the exhibition was inspired by the recent proliferation of self-help books and websites that claim to assist the untrained person in self-diagnosis. While the implications of such could be precarious, Hobbs approaches her subject matter with wit and familiarity. In the end, Does This Sound Like You? points the finger back at the viewer, asking the question of ourselves. Hobbs's work exposes both our perceptions of others, and self-perception, through evaluations of others.

Sarah Hobbs grew up in Columbus, GA and holds a BA in Art History and a MFA in Photography from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the Sir Elton John Collection, among others. Hobbs's work was featured in a 2004 solo exhibition at the Knoxville Museum of Art and reviewed by Art in America. The artist lives and works in Atlanta, GA.
