    Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce Dashiell Manley’s “Tule Lake,” the debut of a new series investigating historical archives and political memory, on view from July 25 to September 7, 2024. The exhibition features several new oil paintings and a slide-projection that examines photographic propaganda taken during the imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Using imagery sourced from the National Archives’ repository of photographs, Manley reflects upon the site of Tule Lake, an internment camp on the California-Oregon border where members of his family were held.
