FABIO TORRO – CAMERA WORK

Posted on 2020-04-06

“Camera Work” is comprised of the artist’s highly detailed, black-and-white, oil painting “portraits” of classic, analogue cameras. The show’s centerpiece is a triptych on canvas depicting three views of a twin lens Rolleiflex camera. Then, four oil paintings on paper depict the same (but possibly different?) Mamiya RB67 camera bodies in profile. Lastly, Torre has painted twelve head-on views of a single Hasselblad medium format camera with background shades of bright to very dark ambient light.

Opposite – Mamiya A1, 2019

Exhibition runs through to April 25th, 2020

ROE ETHRIDGE – OLD FRUIT

Posted on 2020-04-06

Since the turn of the century, Ethridge has exercised a significant influence over young artists in particular, yet opportunities to see groupings of his early work have been rare. Old Fruit, which focuses primarily on his output from the early 2000s, offers a valuable chance to revisit many highly regarded and widely reproduced images that embody new ways of understanding the medium of photography in the context of emergent technological and social currents.

Expanding on the visual and critical syntaxes of photographers from Paul Outerbridge to Andreas Gursky, Ethridge strategically crisscrosses the zones of artistic, commercial, and vernacular imagery, encouraging the staged and the spontaneous to occupy the same space. Using outtakes from his own commercial and editorial shoots alongside other images, he subverts the residual authority of the portrait, landscape, and still life genres to match his own consciously ambiguous ends.

Opposite – Refrigerator, 1999

HELENE SCHMITZ – THINKING LIKE A MOUNTAIN

Posted on 2020-04-06

Earlier projects have focused on the aggressive and sometimes fragile relationship between nature and human beings, one that is spiraling out of control. Kudzu Project shows the ongoing destruction that began after a climbing vine (Pueraria lobata) was brought overseas from its native home in Japan. Once planted in the United States, the eponymous plant became an invasive species with dire consequences for industrial and ecological infrastructures in the American South. Thinking Like a Mountain sheds light on the relationship between the ownership and exploitation of natural resources in Sweden and Iceland.

Exhibition runs through to April 12th, 2020
