CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM ST. LOUISFLAT FILES INTERVIEW

2010-10-03T09:30:00.009-05:00

I've been a part of the Flat Files collection at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis for the better part of two years and was recently asked to be the first in a series of featured artist interviews. If you've read this blog at all you know the Contemporary has done a lot for me in the past few years and I'm extremely honored and excited to be collaborating with them again. Thanks CAMSTL!

CELLAR DOOR

2010-07-13T10:14:00.010-05:00

I have some work in this show that opens tomorrow at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis. I'm excited, to say the least. Special thanks to Marie Heilich for asking me to be a part of it.

A group exhibition in The Front Room

featuring work by Alex Da Corte, Trevor Reese and Justin Visnesky.

Guest curated by Marie Heilich.
July 14-August 1

Open Studios Preview Party- Tuesday, July 20th, 6-8PM

Although ordinary by definition and insignificant in meaning, "cellar door" is said to be the most phonetically beautiful combination of words in the English language. Similar to the word pairing, this exhibition explores unglorified objects that transcend their original mundanity once recontextualized. As a result of living in a production and consumption based society in the aftermath of the post-modern era, artists have taken on the role of editor rather than creator.

In a selection of photographs from the series Sometimes You Just Know, Justin Visnesky avoids staging or manipulation of images and instead selects casual moments to document, resonating nostalgia and sincerity. In Trevor Reese’s interactive installation Hope to See You Soon, fruit is moved from a stand to a shelf, while the fruit on the shelf is consumed daily. Alex Da Corte’s hand-crafted banner Forever and Ever mimics a store-bought decoration, aside from the curiously idealistic sentiment. Da Corte’s untitled installation is composed of six plastic swords and one metal sword arranged to lean against the gallery wall in a line.

Similar to the way products are made with a universal purpose for the anonymous individual, the reemployment of objects in an art context can provoke shared experiences thus reactivating the cycle of production and consumption. Through the selection, arrangement and context of the white cube, prefabricated objects are infused with a new poetic purpose readily available for the viewer’s consumption.

GET OFF MY LAWN

2010-07-01T10:00:00.007-05:00

I'm super excited to be a part of the first issue of GET OFF MY LAWN, put together by Geoffrey Ellis (you may know him from SadKids). A lot of great photographers in this one. Get one here!

More info:

Get Off My Lawn is a 48-page photo-zine, edited and published by Geoffrey Ellis. The zine features the work of eleven photographers who are 34 years and older. Get Off My Lawn is a tongue-in-cheek response to the calls for entry, contests and publications that require “emerging photographers” to be somewhere between the ages of 18 and 34.

The zine showcases photographers who are working just as hard as those in the 18-34 range to produce great work.

We can no longer be in your club, but soon enough, you'll be in ours…

The first edition of 222 hand-numbered copies, with 11 different covers will be available July 1, 2010 at the release party, select stores, and online at sadkids.com and geoffreyellis.com (10 bucks each!)

Friend and photographer Daniel Shea is having a print sale (at a few levels - one for everyone) to fund a new project, a sort of continuation of his amazing Removing Mountains. If you haven't seen this work yet, please give it a long look. It's a beautiful, socially-conscious body of work that hits particularly close to home for me, having a "rich" history of coal mining in my family. I can only imagine Dan's new work is going to be even more powerful.

Cover Story - repost

2009-03-04T09:50:00.006-06:00

I love random emails bringing good news. I received one two weeks ago from Julianna Lee, a senior designer at Little, Brown and Company. She saw my photo Changing Weather on flakphoto and asked for permission to use it on the cover of the paperback version of Elizabeth McCracken's memoir "An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination." We hashed out the details and it's now official. Julianna sent me the cover last week and I think it turned out beautifully.

I brought a bunch of negative and prints back from PA a couple years ago and I'm finally getting around to scanning them. This particular image was taken in front of my Grandmother's house. It's really great to find these photos again as I'm working on the project about my Grandmother. We were just in PA for Thanksgiving (around the time this photo was most likely taken) and while there was snow, there was much, much less. I'm really taken with this shot. Everything about it seems really timeless to me. Even the old car is something you could still run into Western Pennsylvania. I guess this is the time of year for nostalgia and I love it!

Dad at the Fulton Run field, Fulton Run, PA 2008

We're headed to Pennsylvania tomorrow morning for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see family and friends. When we were home in September I began work on a project about my Dad. He played in a slow-pitch softball league when I was a kid and going to his games in the summer was always high point of vacation. A lot of the players' families came out and watching a game in the warm glow of the summer sun was about as carefree as it could get. Plus, the after game trip to the bar (the team sponsor) to play some mini bowling was a pretty fun time too. The league died a few years ago and my Dad hasn't played in nearly 15. A lot of the fields are in company mining towns (or what used to be) and were part of the coal league that existed in the area. The roots of it all are very working class and something that, for the most part, continued on in the league my Dad played in. I don't have a formal project statement yet, but it's really about how some things change and how some never will. The project is ongoing and while I probably won't be working on it on this trip home, the photo above is one of the starting points of the project and I wanted share the beginnings.

Friend, fellow photographer and western Pennsylvanian, and all around good guy Jacob Koestler has finished up a new body of work entitled "Sound Structures." I feel a real connection to Jacob's series as I too am from Western Pennsylvania and can really relate to the "middle class frame of mind" he talks about in the project statement. Great work from a great guy. If you're in the Johnstown area go check out the show, where you can also pick up a copy of the accompanying book (or go here to get yourself one right now).

I've been busy curating a show for my friends Dave and Bevin at Snowflake/Citystock. I'll also have work in the show, which I was feeling kind of weird about, but I think I'm over at this point. The show is called "Here and There" and is a marriage of my life here in St. Louis and the life I still have in my native Pennsylvania. I'm going to hold off on posting the artists involved because I'm still waiting to hear from one person, but I'm extremely excited about the way things are shaping up. That being said, I'm taking a page from Liz and Daniel's books and offering up an 8"x10" print in an edition of 20 for the ridiculous price of $30 (including shipping to where ever you'd like it shipped) to help fund my endeavor. The photo is one of two 30"x40"s I'll have in the show. This is the mini version at a mini price. If you're interested, click the button below to buy it up. Thanks in advance for the support. And if you're in the area I'd love to see you at the opening (on Saturday, September 13). More info on the show to come very soon...

sunny hair, sunny wall, st. louis, mo 2008

i recently got back the first roll of film shot in our new apartment. i mentioned in an earlier post that we have much more natural light in our new space and these photos are a study (of sorts) of said light. i'm really happy with how these turned out and have a feeling these two images will turn into a series of some sort. i've been shooting a lot of vertical photos lately for some reason, so maybe that will be part of the theme.

2008-05-20T15:47:00.006-05:00

i have some work in the final show at Ellen Curlee's current gallery location. the details on the future of the gallery are still in secret/mystery mode, but hopefully i'll be able to report more on that later. until then, come on down and see some great work and buy a print or two. it should be a great closing party! and i should probably mention said reception is from 6-9 pm this friday (may 23).

we finally finished moving this week and i'm tired… happy, but tired. we sold our house and are now renting. the new place is actually bigger than our house and it's all on one floor, something i'm really getting into. i'm looking forward to a nice relaxing summer, free of yard work and worrying that our air conditioner is going to shoot craps. and who knows, maybe i'll have some time to take photos again. i'm already feeling inspired by the new and naturally brighter space.

two halves make a whole

2008-04-15T16:36:00.008-05:00

when i first bought my half frame camera i was super excited about it and used it like crazy. then i became bored, mainly because it took too long to go through a roll of film (kodak, could you please make those little 8 exposure rolls again? thanks.). this last roll took me a year to go through. i've also been a little busy with a now-one-year-old, getting a house ready to sell, and blah, blah, blah. anyway, enough words here are some new half frames. enjoy.

eliot and heather, christmas day, nolo, pa, 2007

back in st. louis and back (almost) to the normal routine. i thought i should post a photo of eliot at his sickest, since i was whining about it the last post. he's never this still, ever. that's what roseola does to a baby. is this blog becoming a baby blog?

i/we've been in PA for the past week visiting family for the holidays. trying to take photos with a sick baby in tow is pretty difficult. we'll see what happens in the next few days. until then here's a photo of some hippie magic we tried to cast on eliot to get him to turn (from breach) in the womb. it didn't work, in case you were wondering.

i recently got some film back that i shot in belleville, illinois. it's a small, quaint town that reminds me a lot of where i grew up. these were taken in front of a woman's house on the main strip through town.

while home for thanksgiving last year, i spent some time going through old "stuff." in my digging i found a carousel of slides my dad took a year or two before i was born. these are two of my favorites from the bunch. the top photo is of my mom and the bottom is of my uncles mark and dan.

i started this blog as a news outlet, but also as a way to show new photos that aren't a finished series yet. that being said, here are a couple photos from a trip home to pennsylvania this past may, a little over two months after eliot was born. how time flies.
