AM New York wrote a nice review about my contribution, Charles Benton’s “Opposing Photographers”, to the “Young Curators, New Ideas” show over at the Bond Street Gallery which opened last Wednesday, pictures soon.
I have included the nice words about Benton’s piece below, the rest can be found here :
“The most striking contribution is Michael Buhler-Rose’s presentation of Charles Benton’s “Opposing Photographers.” The installation consists of two slide shows on facing walls, featuring photographers snapping shots of each other. Thus, the roles of photographer and subject are shared by both participants. The viewer is also made part of the action, hearing the click of each slide slotting into place before seeing the image pop up on screen. Further subverting the tenets of the medium, in each portrait, the subject’s face is obscured by their camera. It’s a playful work that fully engulfs the viewer. The installation also benefits from its placement in the basement, giving the work its own environment.”
