Alex M Lee

Alex M Lee Work from Machinic Vision. “This work focuses on the potential for new forms utilizing computer aided design that would present a paradigm shift in representation and photographic imagery.

Cayetano Ferrer

Cayetano Ferrer Work from Western Import. “Cayetano Ferrer uses existing forms in order to engage in a dialog about the constant flux of the built, contemporary environment.

John Opera

John Opera Work from his oeuvre. “Working simultaneously with the culturally historicized trope of landscape photography and the conceptual, experimental photograph, John Opera is concerned with the way the natural, exterior world and the abstract, interior world converge.

Jessica Labatte

Jessica Labatte Work from her oeuvre. “My photographs are formalist explorations of everyday objects and materials that engage the subjectivity and experiential qualities of matter.

Kate Steciw Work from her oeuvre (and her Tumblr). “Photographically, and aesthetically, I am interested in making a photograph “other” letting it move beyond the 2D and exist in 3 and even 4D spaces or implied spaces but also juxtaposing the mundane or expected with the altered or intangible.” – Kate Steciw via P.S.1 via [...]

Daniel Everett

Daniel Everett Work from his oeuvre. Everett’s work is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art – Chicago until May. “Daniel Everett works across media, exploring the possibilities and limits of personal meaning in public spaces, both real and imagined.

Brookhart Jonquil

Brookhart Jonquil Work from On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox (where each of the six pages of Bell’s Theorem is crumpled up identically) and Untitled (Essay Without Words no. 1 + no.2). “Brookhart Jonquil’s work, On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox, confounds our sense of time and space, working off the assumption that crumpling a [...]
