1. Atget. Parc de Sceaux Mars, 7 h. matin, 1925.
2. Judy Linn. Unknown title & date. From her exhibition at Sikkema Jenkins & Co in 2017 alongside Deana Lawson and Paul Mpagi Sepuya.
3. Forrest Sculpture. 2020. 11 x 14 inches. Archival pigment print. Included in the first solo exhibition of ‘Down by the Hudson’ at ROSEGALLERY, LA in 2022, from a moment when I was thinking of showing the area around the creek in the winter, before deciding to focus the book and forthcoming exhibitions on the creek and the people in it, only in the summer. Going to print the book in just a few weeks, ten years of work later.
I wrote a new text ‘Curled Together as Foxes for Warmth’ as a review of the Emmet Gowin exhibition currently on view @pacegallery for @deardavemag , with thanks to my editor @stephenfrailey for his thoughtful comments. @princetonupress also just published a book of this newly released Gowin work.
I photographed Okamoto Ice Studios over a year for a new body of work ‘A Sculpture Melts Twice’. Although I made several thousand photographs, I have only kept eight. What drew me to this space was watching craftspeople shape an ephemeral material – ice boats, ice buddhas, ice elephants – with precision and extraordinary care, knowing each one will melt. They’re stored in freezers and shipped to events while they still hold their form. Maybe the photographs of it won’t last either, but I still felt compelled to make them. Work from the project is published in the new issue of @sixteen.world edited by @xavier.encinas and is one of the issue’s cover photos. The feature also includes photographs from my book ‘How to Move a Mountain’ – made on commission for Smithsonian at a quarry in Carrara where robots and human sculptors work side by side – published by @luhz.press with an essay by @davidcampany . This issue of Sixteen Journal will launch in Paris on April 16th.
Some thoughts on @deanmajd ‘s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody. 2017’, on view in his solo exhibition @baxterstccny curated by @marleytriggstewart and on view until early April. Text in 2nd and 3rd slides.
