Group Show December 2006 (No. 10)

Amanu Olu (director and founder of Humble Arts Foundation), Jon Feinstein (associate director), Stephen Schuster (curator), and Emiliano Granado (curator) have been putting together some pretty great shows at the online gallery Group Show. Each month the gallery rotates to feature 24 of their favorite emerging or established photographers. They say about their selection process:
With no conceptual guidelines or requirements, it is simply a reflection of our taste. We show work we like, establishment or below the surface, work that makes us blink or twitch.
For December, they chose me to be a part of the show. And here’s their statement about the work:
GS December continues to find relationships between seemingly unrelated photos. Children’s stuffed animals wrestle on the rim of a sofa; a young girl walks the plank of an old ironing board; a silhouetted bird carries its worm-like prety across a dusky beach; a crack in a frozen pond serves as a black hole to a darker world. While on the surface thees images may have no concrete relationship, each photographer displays a soft-spoken impression of the fading social landscape.
It’s really is a nice collection of photographs. Take a look.
