One of my pieces will be included in the forthcoming New York Did It to Me, an exhibition that will be part of the 2011 New York Photo Festival.
Capricious Presents: New York Did It to Me
as part of the New York Photo Festival
Curated by Sophie Mörner
As part of New York Photo Festival, Capricious Presents:, an exhibition featuring thirty three New York based emerging photographers.
Sam Contis, Grant Willing, Coley Brown, Sarah Palmer, Eric Chakeen, Kathy Lo, Agnes Thor, Amelia Bauer, Aaron McElroy, Nicole Lesser, Erin Jane Nelson, Alana Celii, Tuomas Korpijaakko, Todd Fisher, iO Tillett Wright, Hyers & Mebane, Skye Parrott, Peter Sutherland, David Geeting, Jessica Olm, Eleonore Hendricks, Luisa Opalesky, Morgan Levy, Rebecca Peters, Caitlin Teal Price, Lizzy Oppenheimer, Julia Gillard, Katheryn Love, Cydney Puro, Justin James Reed, Shawna Ferreira, Anne Hall, Kirsten Kay Thoen.
New York Did It to Me is an exhibition about the kind of craving and wishing that results from living and working among the hustle and grit that is our fair city. The magnetic energy that pulls us here and inspires us also forces us to seek retreat into nature and to reconnect with other sides of ourselves. The selected images transport us to those quiet parts of "New York dreams" – reviving us and bringing us back to the core possibilities we know to exist, even within the intensity of the city.
The exhibition's natural focus on the emerging artist, ties to the strong mission of Capricious, a magazine, artist book publisher, and curatorial project dedicated to showcasing emerging fine art photography. As a leading fine art photography project, Capricious occupies a rare and whimsical space, operating as both a tool for discovering new talent and as an artists' oasis.
This exhibition will open at Smack Mellon (92 plymouth street) on May 11th as a part of New York Photo Festival.

May 2, 2011
The curator Sophie Morner, of Capricious, has included my work in Continuity of Chaos an exhibition of four emerging American Photographers at the Foam photography museum in Amsterdam.
Capricious Presents: Continuity of Chaos
9 June - 4 September 2011
At the invitation of Foam, Sophie Mörner, photographer and founder of Capricious Magazine, has created an exhibition of young (emerging) photographic talent from the United States. Capricious is a major innovative platform for contemporary photography.
The exhibition Continuity of Chaos shows the work of Luke Gilford, Nicholas Gottlund, Aaron McElroy and Sarah Palmer. These young (emerging) photographers have all been inspired by the concept of 'chaos'. Chaos is often considered as an anarchistic lack of order, not as an independent, harmonious phenomenon. But it is precisely because that lack of order is constant that it is considered within some philosophies as a state of unity and stability. Furthermore, the permanent unrest that is characteristic of chaos is necessary to allow new ideas to germinate - like the singing of the Muses. The works which are part of Continuity of Chaos show chaos as the basis of serenity, but also emphasise the impulse which is characteristic of chaos to distance itself from the natural order.
The work of Luke Gilford (Colorado, 1986) is a feast of forms and colours which have been extracted from their usual context. The abstracted figures and forms are never fully revealed, and chiefly evoke wonder in the viewer. Luke Gilford earned his bachelor's degree from UCLA in 2008. He has exhibited work at MoMA (New York), the MUSAC in Spain and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. He has also created work for Art Basel Miami, Maison Martin Margiela, Miss America and The New York Times Magazine.
Sarah Palmer (California, 1977) isolates objects from their ordinary surroundings in a way that evokes tranquillity as well as tension. The work has an alienating effect that challenges the viewer to see more than the sum of the parts. Sarah Palmer received a bachelor's degree from Vassar College in 1999 and a master's degree from the School of Visual Arts in 2008. Her work has been shown at the Wild Project in New York, Like The Spice (Brooklyn), the Irish Museum of Contemporary Art, the Center for Photography in Woodstock and in 'G/IRL: Women Photographers Emerging in Digital Culture,' (New York). Palmer teaches fulltime at Parsons The New School for Design.
In the photos of Aaron McElroy (US, 1978) close-ups of bodies and body parts blur into hazy, misty contours. Identities are concealed and abstracted, creating new forms and visual landscapes. Aaron McElroy lives and works in New York and graduated from the New England School of Photography in 2007. His work appeared in the annual photo edition of Vice Magazine in 2009 and in Capricious Magazine nr.11: Being Fashion. His first solo exhibition was at dalla Rosa Gallery in London.
Nicholas Gottlund (Pennsylvania, 1981) finds disorder - in nature or man-made - and frames it without wanting to bring order to it but in a way that creates the suggestion of purposefulness. He studied visual arts and graphic design at Parsons The New School for Design and the Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2007 he founded the Gottlund Verlag publishing house. His books are in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum. Previous exhibitions have been at the Capricious Space in New York and Bodega in Philadelphia.
Capricious Presents is a roving curatorial project, an extension of the former Capricious Space gallery, based in New York. The collection of projects and publications by Capricious occupies a rare and whimsical place between commercial and fashion photography. It is both a tool for discovering new talent and an artists' oasis. Sophie Morner (Stockholm, 1976) founded Capricious Magazine and the publications that have stemmed from it. She studied at the Tisch School of the Arts, part of New York University. Following numerous group exhibitions, in September 2010 Morner had a solo show in New York. In collaboration with photographer Anne Hall, she self-published the book The Known World. Her photos have been featured in a variety of international publications. As curator, she has also been responsible for exhibitions in New York, the Netherlands and Sweden.
Capricious Presents: Continuity of Chaos can be viewed from 9 June to 4 September 2011 at Foam. Open daily 10am to 6pm, Thurs/Fri 10am to 9pm.
Foam receives support from the BankGiro Loterij, the VandenEnde Foundation and De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek.

Consistent improvements in technology and technique have not overwritten a desire for wayward juxtapositions in photography. Like the Spice Gallery is proud to present, You Make Me Warm: A Photography Exhibition. This show explores the fluctuation of atmosphere in inanimate subjects. Looking beyond the observation of immediate reality, the participants unhinge boundaries between concept and document. Each of the artists in the show approaches their work with a mythical intimacy, utilizing high-contrast color and ambiguous surroundings to tap into the ethereal. They summon early 20th century Czech photography or the photograms of Man Ray combined with the muted palate of 1970's color photographers like John Pfahl and Joel Sternfield. Each artist provides a character study of the unknowable, entangling landscape in the transparency of portraiture.
Sarah Palmer eludes memory by placing objects upon void landscapes that question her scene's authenticity. Her images reveal an inverted universe free from assumptions of power, gravity, and intelligence. Outside of logic or memory, the images are snapshots of absentee identities. In their impermanence her images hold our breath: eggs are invincible, planes soar to the zenith of 'The Truman Show' bubble, and clams can talk. Her images are just shy of knowable, a mental collage on the surface of reality.
Anthony Michael Rom composes completely fabricated scenes for the viewer to dissect. Utilizing bubbly, adolescent paper dolls, Rom submits their faultless smiles to wretchedly morose scenes. These impersonators contribute minimal clues to the actuality of the scene. Rom mocks the reality of the moment and reminds the viewer that a moment's timeline isn't necessarily linear or palpable. Sugarplum cheeks and pleated dresses are at odds with the extremity of human action, from abduction to arson, approached with an alien neutrality.
Controversy simmers beneath a handful of legendary images, reprimanded for their dishonesty to photography's seizure of life's coincidental beauty. Photography from the Great Depression Era in the United States, for example, parlays a latent emptiness despite pristine snapshot of monumental instances. The photographers in this exhibition embrace the void and seduce the viewer to accept the ostensibly completed puzzle. Despite appearing fortuitous, each image escapes from the truth of the moment through its resemblance to it. Intentional staging counteracts the immediate correlation to life, allowing for a moment of silence in wake of the sense's absence.

G/IRL showcases the work of women using digital culture to explore and establish a life in photography. As digital imaging fundamentally altered the photographic process, digital publishing and social media has changed the course of photographic careers. Tools like tumblr, flickr, and other social platforms have enabled artists of all ages and means to publish work outside of the constraints and conventions of fine art and commercial photography, while the nature of social media (a world in which we promote only what we love) provides a new critical landscape.

February 19, 2010
Rachel Hulin wrote to me and a bunch of other photographers in late 2009 to ask, "What's your standout image from 2009?" I went with Renaissance, one of the images from As A Real House. Earlier this week, Rachel posted the final piece with all the images.
I really enjoyed the stories behind the pictures - lots of very personal moments - and it was a treat having my work up there. The post also features the work and stories of Elinor Carucci, Finn O'Hara, Rebecca Greenfield, Dan Saelinger, Glenn Glasser, Emily Nathan, Landon Nordeman, Nick Cobbing, Joshua Lutz, and Cameron Davidson. The pictures featured range in their origin, though it feels heavy on editorial work to me, perhaps because I am not (generally) an editorial photographer. The mix of different "purposes" of photographs raises interesting questions about photography, and the many "hows" surrounding a photograph's initial creation.

Please take a look at my review on the Metropolis POV of three new Aperture books on landscape: Eirik Johnson's Sawdust Mountain, Joel Meyerowitz's Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks, and Robert Adams' Summer Nights, Walking. Some beautiful images up there as well.

Miles from Home
The Bakery Artspace
18 Garden Street, Rhinebeck NY
In the group show Miles From Home, twelve artists explore the fragmentary and shifting nature of the world around them in correlation to their own development as a newly established collective of creative individuals. The typical notion of "home" is one of safety and stability; but "home," particularly now, is subjective, constantly changing, and often based on illusory memories.
Within this realm of uncertainty, these artists utilize the photographic medium to explore the roles that risk play in their lives and work. An artist coming into their own at any time faces the unknown, gazes into the void, and takes a risk by plunging in, by making work, by not giving into society's obvious structures, and by creating their own community within which to create, inspire, and take chances. As the models around us undergo a series of great shifts—in the economy, in the art market, in technology, in distribution modes, in communication itself—these artists see themselves presented with opportunity.
This collection of work does not try to provide answers, or to prophesy the future. Rather, these artists are building their own maps, creating their own pathways through the world and their work, and seeking the roads that will move them forward. They are taking hold of an unpredictable future with a firmer grasp, this show being the first result of their collective strength and inspiration.
