After Color examines how artists employ conceptual black-and-white photography to strengthen their ideas and how such usage comments on the dominance of large-scale, color photography as seen in the contemporary art world over the last 25 years.

In their work, Michael Bühler-Rose, Talia Chetrit and Noel Rodo-Vankeulen raise questions about medium specificity. Bühler-Rose merges a photogram of the word “edition” with hand painted numbers to ask: At what point does a piece become unique, and at what point is it an editioned multiple?

Chetrit reverses the photographic process by using Photoshop’s gradient tool to make digitally fabricated images into traditional silver gelatin prints. Situated somewhere between the photographic and filmic, Rodo-Vankeulen’s mystical and pulsating animated GIFs breathe life into banal and often stilted images.

In a reference to abstract expressionistic painting, Matthew Gamber’s photographs of excessively used chalkboards suggest a kinship between the chalkboard and film photography’s recording capabilities. Stephen Gill’s typological still lifes of discarded betting slips are formal studies of composition and shape. Using South Indian female archetypes as her subject, Pushpamala N playfully restages the representation of women in photography, whether it is documentary, anthropological or art historical.

Finally, Adrien Missika, Arthur Ou and Michael Vahrenwald redefine landscape photography. Missika transforms the Grand Canyon into small, quarter sized landscapes that mimic floating planets. Ou experiments with the transparency of landscape photography by adding decorative elements created in the darkroom to prove its flatness. Vahrenwald’s photographs of depression therapy light boxes, explore the relationship between landscape and self, or in this case, create a surrogate landscape.

New York, New York—November 2008—Humble Arts Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of Things Are Strange, curated by Jon Feinstein. The group exhibition, which opens on Election Day, presents work by eighteen photographers whose images explores the peculiar, idiosyncratic and often absurd elements of the contemporary world, using them as a metaphor for the current state of social and political affairs. The work includes a range of subjects, from the bizarre phenomena of Emiliano Granado’s documentary pictures of ghost hunters and Cara Phillips’ transformation of plastic surgery machines into terrifying robots to Eric Percher’s exploration of the alienation of late night finance workers and Amy Stein’s images of stranded American travelers. Each photographer, by varying degrees, alludes to a world that is gradually falling apart at the seams.

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.”
