Paul Mpagi Sepuya

Paul Mpagi Sepuya Work from his oeuvre. “Photographs, and photographs of photographs; cameras, and cameras pointing at cameras; models, and models posing as models: A kind of brooding over these—and the conundrum of whether, by distancing and framing portions of reality, photography thereby deconstructs itself—typifies a technical formalism that has become widespread of late. Artists […]

Fabiola Menchelli

Fabiola Menchelli Work from her oeuvre. “In a digital age where the boundaries between the virtual and the physical blend and generate new experiences, I am interested in using the language of abstraction to make images which seem to present a tangible visible reality but which are in fact never quite there, except in the […]

Drew Nikonowicz

Drew Nikonowicz Work from This World and Others Like It. “Functioning both as metaphor and exposition, Drew Nikonowicz’s series This World and Others Like It thrives in the growing chasm between reality and mediated fiction. Calling upon one of photography’s earliest uses—recording the vast, unexplored landscapes of the world—Nikonowicz brings forth a reality that is […]

Laura Letinsky

Laura Letinsky Work from Ill Form and Void Full. “This exhibition focuses on Letinsky’s new series, Ill Form and Void Full (2010-11), and marks a significant development in her work since 2009. Letinsky became increasingly interested in the artificiality of the photograph and its potential as a self-reflexive space. Here Letinsky has begun incorporating paper […]

Talia Chetrit

Talia Chetrit Work from her oeuvre. “Talia Chetrit’s second solo show at Renwick Gallery could be described as a satisfying instance of something simple done well. After all, what could be more straightforward than a group of elegantly composed, black and white, still-life studies of pattern, form, texture and light? Chetrit’s exhibition featured images of […]

Brush it in

Brush it in at Flowers East, Curated by Lorenzo Durantini, featuring Joshua Citarella, Fleur van Dodewaard, Christiane Feser, Darren Har vey-Regan, Antonio Marguet, Anne de Vries. “An ever secretive and loosely defined field, digital post-production has invariably sharpened the crisis of faith in photographic representation. This loss of faith has levelled the playing field; all […]

Marthe Elise Stramrud

Marthe Elise Stramrud Work from Livingroom Poetics. “In Livingroom Poetics Marthe Elise Stramrud has photographed ordinary objects in her apartment. Creating new situations amongst things that surround her, the images explore the harmony between objects that exist in our everyday lives. The relations caused by and within them turn our minds towards the gesture of […]

Robert Canali

Robert Canali Work from his oeuvre. “Abstractions of refracted light, visible only “in dust”, emphasize the physical and chemical aspects of photography through the unique character of the negative. This work was inspired by phenomenons of light and rendered by means of large format photography. Comprised of both colour and black and white photographs, this […]

Gaël Odilon Paccard

Gaël Odilon Paccard Work from Bits and Pieces. Bits and pieces is simultaneously familiar and foreign. This dichotomy, however, is not necessarily what draws me to the work. The images patently acknowledge the image as an effect of process. While one could argue that the image of image inherently addresses the function of the photograph, what is often missing is the […]

Luis Gispert

Luis Gispert Work from his oeuvre. Jacob Hashimoto: This last January, you opened an enormous two-part exhibition at Zach Feuer and Mary Boone Gallery that represented well over two years of sculptures and images and was crowned with a hugely ambitious short film, Smother. Having had the opportunity to watch you labor over this diverse […]
