This fall, P·P·O·W will present Prisoners from the Front, Hilary Harkness' first solo exhibition with the gallery. This exhibition will feature a culmination of works from Harkness' ongoing series, The Arabella Freeman Series, as well as never before seen together works from her 2008-2016 series, Life with Alice and Gertrude. Started in 2019, The Arabella Freeman Series is a Civil War Era episodic drama which chronicles an alternative narrative of the making of Winslow Homer’s iconic Civil War painting Prisoners from the Front, 1866. Centered around an enduring relationship between Homer’s protagonist, General Barlow, and a fictitious, free Virginia landowner, Arabella Freeman, the series challenges our visual understanding of American mythology and explores interpersonal dynamics through a lens that allows power struggles inherent in sex, race and class systems to play out on an uncensored stage.
