Dina Mitrani Gallery is pleased to present a pop-up exhibition of photographs by Peggy Levison Nolan as part of the Miami Design District's Art in the District cultural program. This exhibition features color as well as black and white photographs from the 80s to the present and commemorates the 2nd edition of her book Juggling Is Easy published by TBW Books. Nolan’s first monograph Real Pictures: Tales of a Badass Grandma, published by Daylight Books in 2018 will also be available.

This exhibition coincides with Nolan’s participation in the exhibition Shared Documentary Narratives at the History Miami Museum curated by Aldeide Delgado. A second reception and book signing will take place on Saturday October 26th at 4 pm during the WOPHA Congress (Women Photographers International Archive), which, this year is entitled How Photography Teaches Us to Live Now.

With her constant and conscious act of looking, Nolan makes pictures that reveal the beauty in everyday scenes, capturing life’s ordinary details in her photographs. Quotidian stills that normally go unnoticed are brought to light by Nolan’s frame, highlighting the home and members of her family in daily activities, whether sleeping, hanging out or making out. The black and white work mostly features her teenage kids, their friends and activities. Nolan began using color film in the early 2000s and depict images of her grown children with their spouses and grandchildren.

Nolan's work is in collections such as the MOMA in New York, the San Francisco MOMA, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC, the MOCA in North Miami and the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, the Margulies Collection, the Girls Club Collection and the Norton Museum to name a few. Her work has been reviewed and published in the New York Magazine, Vogue, The Guardian, Juxtapose, Lenscratch and Art Forum. Nolan has received numerous grants and awards including the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship and taught photography at Florida International University for over 15 years. She claims her students were the ones teaching her. She raised seven children and now has eight grandchildren.

Dina Mitrani opened her gallery in Wynwood in 2008 specializing in international contemporary photography representing emerging and mid-career artists, offering artists talks and lectures as well as photo-based objects and books. The gallery’s mission is not only to exhibit, promote and sell photo-based art but to also serve as an educational resource for the community. Dina has been working in the art world for 30 years, spending the first years of her career in New York, after studying art history at the University of Michigan. Moving back to Miami in 2002, together with her sister Rhonda, they were pioneers in creating the Wynwood Art District by organically converting their parent’s clothing factory into art galleries and studios for artists, designers, and architects. They are currently designing and building a center for photography, film and video art in Little River which will open in 2025.
