Photography & _____
July 10 — September 4, 2020
Artist Natalie Krick and I collaborated on a piece together for the group show Photography & _____ which is currently up at The Catherine Edelman Gallery.
“Photography & _____,” an exhibition that brings together photographers and other creatives to create one-of-a-kind pieces. CEG invited artists familiar to the gallery, including painters, writers and photographers, and asked each participant to reach out to a fellow artist to create a collaborative piece. There were no limitations placed on the work, except that photography must be incorporated into each piece.
Our collaboration was influenced by long conversations about the function and perception of photography and our shared frustrations surrounding the historical canon of the medium. Over the past few months, we passed photographs back and forth, altering the images with each exchange. For us, each click of the shutter is absolutely equal to and inseparable from any physical cutting, collaging, and digital manipulation. We are drawn to the flattened image, which merge our distinct visual voices while challenging the viewer to consider what they are looking at.
