I first saw Jasper van den Brink‘s photographs on the cover of Cabinet Magazine’s Electricity issue. Great issue, by the way. The photographs from the “Pigeon Lights” series are intriguing, but I also like the more performance-oriented projects, such as “Bouncing Balls”, in which 200 colored balls are placed on a drawbridge and allowed to […]

Myoung Ho Lee Work from the series TREE. TREE is an intriguing take on the traditional landscape (and portrait). While isolating a tree for the photograph (with a large piece of canvas), Myoung Ho Lee also denies us a view of a significant portion of the landscape, gives an imagined view into his process, and […]

Rebekka Unrau Work from the series Innerspace. “‘Everything you can imagine is real’ Pablo Picasso Set entirely in my bedroom, the sculptures photographed are symbols of exploration, ingenuity, and inspiration; all creative forces. Alone in my room I used only the available materials and light to investigate the potential of the materials, the space and […]

Barbara Probst Work from the series Exposures. “On January 7, 2000, at 10:37 PM, Munich- and New York-based photographer Barbara Probst first employed a technique that remains unique among contemporary artists. Using a remote-control device, she simultaneously triggered the shutters of twelve cameras strategically positioned around a New York City rooftop, and the resultant set […]

Julian Montague Work from the project Stray Shopping Cart. “The Stray Shopping Cart Project is an ongoing work that began in 1999 as a two page spread in the seminal Buffalo, New York zine Basta! (see PUBLICATIONS). In the beginning the System was comprised of 13 Types, only a few of which would be familiar […]

Takashi Suzuki Work from the series Altus. I am drawn to this work in the same way I am drawn to all out-of-focus work at the moment, mostly due to the tension of wanting to see, and being unable to see (and because my current work is out-of-focus.) Suzuki’s images were not hard to find, […]

Alison Malone Work from the series The Anonymous Everywhere of Nowhere in Particular. “This series was originally inspired by my commute home to NE Minneapolis, more specifically, the care-worn sites of heavy processing and antiquated shipping industry minutes away from the freeway. In the midst of what might be construed as an isolated, cold or even […]

Roger Cremers Work from the aptly named Auschwitz Tourism project. This is another great photographically referrential project and a commentary on tourism and photography.  Found on Conscientious, an amazing blog.

Christina Seely Work from the series Lux. “Lux documents the artificial glow produced by major cities in the 3 brightest regions as seen on a NASA map of the world at night” “In a time when it is argued that no aspect of nature is unaffected by human impact, my work reflects on a lifestyle […]

Nora Herting Work from Free Sitting and new work from Portraits. Herting makes work in which “the currency of the studio portrait is examined.” They are a conceptual departure and a critical examination of the studio portrait. “My photographs maybe characterized as portraits, although I am not interested in capturing the uniqueness of an individual.
