Holding Blue is an exhibition of new photographs and ceramics by Catherine Opie, rooted in a road trip she took through Norway in January and February 2024 seeking the deep azure light of the Arctic winter. Opie's large-scale mountain photographs invoke sublime grandeur while mourning the threatened natural world. Ceramic sculptures—made before and after the trip—record her haptic processing of the landscape. Blue is both a record of experiential truth and an elegiac color.
