Bringing together a group of young photographers who explore the depths and boundaries of the photographic medium. Widely varied in their practices, these artists add unique perspectives to their ever-expanding and mutating photographic dialog.
Using photography in new ways, especially across disciplines, each artist will present a group of works that overlap with what are traditionally the concerns of other media; whether that be cinema, the internet, publishing, sculpture, poetry, painting or curation.
Andrew Kuo is a multimedia artist who will show a seires of iPhone photos where he color averaged areas to make pie charts in circles on top of the photograph.
Asger Carlsen makes photographs that depict ruptures in reality with the insertion of illogical and highly surreal moments and distortions.
Jason Nocito takes analogue photographs of the world around him that look digital, or manipulates digital photos to look analogue. His long history of making photographic publications informs his editing process and presentation.
Jessica Eaton makes photographs of things that don’t have a real-world indexical referent.
Jim Mangan treats photography like a major movie shoot, taking a group of friends on a journey of self-exploration into foreign places to create his work.
Kate Steciw makes digital photographic compositions where she deliberately misuses technology to make objects that are reminiscent of photographs but visually resemble sculptures or collages.
Peter Sutherland makes unique photographic objects by printing a photo and then adhering a perforated sticker with a different photo on to the front of it.
Sandy Kim is a documentary photographer of the seedier side of life with her coterie of interesting looking and debaucherous friends in the tradition of Larry Clark or Nan Goldin, but updated through her blog and internet experiences.
Tim Barber will present a new group of subtle and poetic photographs that continue to expand on his unique and personal visual language.

Through a complex process involving models, a highly staged set and carefully composed tableaux, Blackmon weaves intricate stories of the complexities of everyday life in large and busy households. Blackmon is one of the most exciting photographers working today, and in this exhibition she will debut six never before seen images.
As the oldest of nine children, Blackmon’s work has always drawn inspiration from her familial life, her extended family playing the role of both model and muse. At the same time, her work looks far back into the history of art to the paintings of the Dutch Renaissance master Jan Steen, who was known for his carefully constructed scenes of domestic chaos. However, in this newest work, we see Blackmon taking a more contemporary approach by shifting her focus to the work of the French painter, Balthus. His paintings of street scenes include many figures who seem to exist each in their own worlds – often indifferent to what is going on around them. Like Blackmon’s work, they are scenes in which time stands still, a moment of anticipation before the full story unfolds and reveals how these characters’ lives may, or may not intertwine.
Exhibition runs from November 3rd to January 12th, 2013
