Jeff Otto O’Brien

Jeff Otto O’Brien Work from Revaluations. “Photography is often seen as an individual endeavor concerned with the documentation of external ephemera and objects. Taking a photograph, as it were, is an intensional act for the photograph is of something- the photographic subject. This commonly held view of photography, which often goes hand-in-hand with the notion […]

Anoush Abrar

Anoush Abrar Work from Californication. “The film studios, the celebrities, the entertainment capital of the UnitedStates- the state of California revolves around the film industry and its success. Projecting an image of fame and fortune, beauty and happiness, Hollywood draws people like a magnet. I started this photo project in Los Angeles because I wanted […]

Erik Dalzen

Erik Dalzen Work from Commodities. Active auctions here.  “Commodities is a collaborative project between me and spirited bidders. Art pieces are created based on specific marketable goods and cater to niche audiences of collectors and enthusiasts. The works are then exhibited on the auction website, eBay, under search terms that coincide with the vernacular from […]

Reiner Riedler

Reiner Riedler Work from Fake Holidays. “When wishes are out of reach, simulation is taking over our leisure time and our holidays. Imaginary worlds are created, often under massive technological exertion, in order to offer us experience as reproducible merchandise. Although the quality of these adventures on demand sometimes proves to be rather dubious, the […]

Phil Chang

Phil Chang Work from Double Exposure. “In her 1977 essay “Notes on the Index,” Rosalind Krauss defined contemporary art as indexical. The work that fascinated Krauss was that which indicated an elsewhere, that is, work that was proof or evidence of what was not apparent in the work itself (such as documentation of earthworks or […]

Cara Barer

Cara Barer Work from The Book Project. “My photographs are primarily a documentation of a physical evolution. I have changed a common object into sculpture in a state of flux. The way we choose to research and find information is also in an evolution. I hope to raise questions about these changes, the ephemeral and […]

Georg Küttinger

Georg Küttinger Work from landscapes:remixed. “The presented „landscapes:remixed“ are reflecting landscape photography and the relation between landscapes and the perception of their spaces. The pictures assembled from single photos construct and design densified spaces – as possibilities of the landscapes they are based on, not as their depiction. The goal of the work is creating […]

Meggan Gould

Meggan Gould Work from Verso. Also take a gander at her Go Ogle series of photographic averages. “My most recent work continues to probe the tension between what conventionally constitutes a picture space and the underlying factors, textual or otherwise, that work to reinforce and define that space. These stark images allow the viewer to […]

Brad Moore

Brad Moore Work from his oeuvre. “These photographs were shot in modest, well-worn, suburban cities in central and inland Southern California. Built in the 50s and 60s, these cities provided a new home and future to a post-war population. While Southern California’s coastal cities flourish, cities in these inland counties struggle. Future prosperity and civic […]
