Uta Barth
The formally impressive and aesthetically delicate work of Uta Barth, a Los Angeles-based German artist, will be presented by 1301PE Gallery. Her highly technical process captures the after images of objects, limbs, and movement, creating alluring textures and volume within the frame.
Brian Bress
The show runner for Cherry and Martin’s booth, Bress created one of the more site appropriate exhibitions. His photography and film work continually bleed between mediums, defying categorization and testing the limits for an otherwise straight and traditionally clean art form. The gallery released a statement noting, “Brian Bress engages the idea of artifice within the context of the ultimate artifice: Paramount Studios’s New York backlot.” It added, “Illusionistic, collaged scenic backdrops set the stage for Bress’s new time-based monitor works and photographs.”
Abigail Reynolds
The works on Reynolds’s website, and presented by Ambach and Rice at the fair, are divided between collage, sculpture, and performance ― so why is she front and center at a photo fair? The Londoner’s use of appropriated photographic imagery from old books cut and overlaid atop each other produce architectural re-imaginings of iconic buildings and cityscapes. Reynolds connects images through time and space, repositioning them with prominent seams in composite works.
Mariah Robertson
Robertson’s work was recently included in the International Center of Photography’s much talked about “What is a Photograph?” exhibition, and appropriately so; her arresting numbered works are explosions of color and light, and they scientifically delve into the art form. Her work, an “investigation into the indexical parameters of photography,” according to Frydman, will be shown by M+B Gallery ― it’s not to be missed.
Stephen Shore
Last but not least, the venerable master photographer will be showcasing his most recent body of work, “Winslow, Arizona,” with 303 Gallery. The big skies, desert dust, and relics of a past era were completed as part of Doug Aitken’s “Station to Station” project. In the series, Shore marries the contemporary with vintage and the inhabited with the desolate, capturing a part of America still very much alive.
