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 the late curator Clint Willour, and concludes with a conversation between art director Gregory Wakabayashi and Sean Perry. In addition to notable private collections, Fairgrounds is held in the permanent collections of Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Menil Collection; Seattle Art Museum; Amon Carter Museum of American Art; The Wittliff Collections; and Special Collections, Yale University.
