Social Photography IX at Carriage Trade

July 25, 2021 in , , /by

Now in its ninth year, Social Photography brings together cell phone pictures of participants from a wide range of disciplines, generations, and places. In the spirit of broad access to cell phone image making technology, the emphasis of the project leans toward sensibility and the anecdotal over skill and mastery of the medium of photography. Taking advantage of technologies that allow for images to be sent from anywhere, which are then formatted, printed, and displayed in an in-person exhibition at carriage trade, the range of participants in Social Photography reflect both the gallery’s community in Lower Manhattan as well those associated with it in other parts of the world. Linking the virtual with the physical through an online display that is then presented in print form, Social Photography IX might be seen as a counterpoint to the increased placelessness of remote exchanges normalized in the pandemic-era. Spanning nearly a decade, the growing, informal archive of Social Photography cell phone pictures occasionally reflect significant local, national, and international events (Occupy Wall Street, George Floyd protests, U.S. presidential elections, pro-democracy movements in Hong Kong) existing side by side with the everyday, the personal, the urban, and the domestic. With a limited curatorial […]

Hudson Valley artists create concept of time travel in Dorsky Exhibit Poughkeepsie Journal The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art’s ninth annual Hudson Valley Artists exhibit is open and this year, Anastasia James, curator of Exhibitions and Programs, asked artists to submit work that engages with the concept of time travel. With more than 290 submissions, James selected 11 artists to exhibit their work in “Time Travelers.” In her curatorial statement, James wrote: “Physicists have long discussed the possibility of curves that form closed loops in space-time, allowing objects to return to their past.” As visitors enter the gallery, there is a feeling of spaciousness with the selection of fewer artists. Michael Berstein’s colorful pieces are strung through the ceiling struts and tied down with weights. Their bright colors and designs might remind viewers of the Quilters of Gee’s Bend. Kyle Cottier creates work informed by architectural forms created out of found raw materials, such as wood, rope and stones. Two of his shaman-like pieces are featured on the central floor space of the main gallery. Harry Leigh’s wall-mounted sculptural wood piece “Journey” is at the far end of the gallery — the dimly lit space creates a sense of reverence, as if visitors are […]
