Archives for the Month of September, 2009

Olof Broström

Olof Broström Work from Wind Drawings. “Olof Broström possesses a desire to capture and encapsulate time, to be able to freeze parts of an eternal axis of time and make use of the information therein for something else. By documenting natural processes with time-lapse photography, he has tried to show the readability of the movement […]

Louis Porter

Louis Porter Work from Cheap Flights. “To inner-city dwellers there is something unnerving about the seemingly endless sprawl of suburbia. But for most, home is that in-between realm of tree-lined streets and manicured lawns. Most Western-style societies have their share of suburbia. But Australians, more than most, tend to celebrate it. From Neighbours to the […]

Mike Reinders

Mike Reinders Work from his oeuvre. “These landscapes are spaces that yearn to be explored. Manifest Destiny is an idea richly embedded within the history of the United States. To mimic the pioneers of past centuries is now a ritual that Americans hold sacred. The photographs describe two views of a contemporary landscape — one […]

Jonathan Gitelson

Jonathan Gitelson Work from The Car Project. “During the summer of 2004, I moved across the street from the Funky Buddha Lounge, a popular nightclub in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. Each night I would park my car on the street, and each morning I would find that numerous club fliers had been shoved beneath my […]

Colleen Plumb

Colleen Plumb Work from Animals are Outside Today. “I began this project in 1997 looking at ‘fake nature’, wondering what substitutions for nature can satisfy in people. Looking deeper I began photographing real animals and how they can be a link for us to a world far from the reality and pace of contemporary life, […]

Jason Salavon

Jason Salavon Work from 100 Special Moments. “Jason Salavon selects as source material groups of images from popular culture—real-estate listing photographs, Playboy centerfolds, high-school yearbook portraits—and blends them into generalized images characteristic of types existing in everyday life. … Salavon chose to blend pictures of not-so-average women in his series Every Playboy Centerfold. By fusing […]

Paula Muhr

Paula Muhr Work from Tata. “Through the work “Tata” I investigate various modes of representation and role models which we internalise in such an extent that they inform our subjectivity. I turn my father (Serbian: tata) into a kind of amateur fashion model asking him to pose for me in his favourite clothes. He dresses […]

Jason Lazarus

Jason Lazarus Work from his oeuvre. “Regarding all photographic projects cumulatively, I am interested in the role of the contemporary artist as hell-raiser, prophet, failure, and historian. Whether it is the possibilities of the conceptual self-portrait, the awed irony of an American attending an airshow in 2006, or a picture of a picture, the photographic […]

Céline Clanet

Céline Clanet Work from Un mince vernis de réalité [A thin layer of reality]. “In this work, I do not picture anything that comes within the event, the extraordinary, or even the anecdotal. Few subjects are filling these images : things or people, most of them are isolated, lost in a moment of silence. These […]

Curtis Mann

Curtis Mann Work from Modifications. “The original imagery in Curtis Mann’s Modifications series is copied from a variety of sources: online auctions, photo-sharing websites and estate sales, in a sense creating a fictional archive through the artist’s selection and collection of other people’s photographs. Mann’s appropriated archive is acquired in digital form. He first makes […]
