The Art of the American Snapshot
Scott Hunt’s drawings take inspiration from mysterious, uncomfortable, hilarious, and sad moments in amateur photography and give them new life. His work makes that old photo of your grandpa in stockings at the office Christmas party iconic.
Between Floating and Falling
Between plummeting and floating, we’re cut loose from the earth but still part of the world. Elijah Gowin’s images of bodies suspended combine traditional photography with new technology to illustrate the tranquility and the fear of falling.
Slow Photography
A series of portraits of a rural town in Italy where Douglas Gayeton lived, worked, cooked, fell in love, and took pictures—tons of pictures, many of which were then stitched together and inscribed with captions, names, anecdotes, and recipes to tell his story of assimilation.
Pakistan Now
Photographer and designer Kurt Dietrich Wilberding traveled to Pakistan to capture a more intimate side of life than what’s normally seen in the newspapers.
We English
Simon Roberts shows what traveling around England in a motor home for six months will get you. Of course, it’s much more than that, but in a way it’s also that simple: a series of (exquisite) landscapes photographed in 2008 that depict a survey of Britons at leisure.
A Kind of Rapture
Photographer Robert Bergman’s first commercial outing coincides with two debut solo exhibitions, one at the National Gallery of Art in DC, and another at PS1. And all of this from an artist who’s never had a gallery show before.
Oil
Edward Burtynsky brings us the oil industry’s fields, factories, and graveyards in large-format wall-sized photographs from around the world—Azerbaijan, China, Canada, California, and more.
The Map of the Art
Edited by Katharine Harmon, “The Map as Art” brings together 360 visions of experimental cartography. It is wonderfully inspiring.
Genesis
From founding industrial-music heavyweights Throbbing Gristle to collaborating with performance artist Lady Jaye, in which the two underwent plastic surgery to merge their identities, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge is about as cutting-edge as you get.
