Projects
Artist Project
WikiLeaks, Edward Snowden, instances of hacking, digital warfare, software glitches at Nasdaq, the role of social media in recent revolutions and wars in the Middle East, and the fragility of the systems on which we depend.
Andrea Crespo
Andrea Crespo’s ongoing series of drawings centers around the stereotyping of people who have been psychopathologized as potential school shooters.
Obstacle Race
A personal essay on the artist’s navigation of the art world while disabled.
harder / border
People who cross a border, or break through a barrier, often feel that they carry the other side within them—as one lived reality nested inside another. Selected poems from Sudanese-American author Safia Elhillo capture the poignant complexities of this condition.
Condomillennium
Aaron Gemmill has spent years photographing the proliferation of luxury condominiums, mostly in Brooklyn, NY. His project is a selection of these photos (which Gemmill originally posted to Instagram under the hashtag “#condoreport) and his prints of the Plexiglas windowpanes used to give passersby a glimpse into construction sites.
Gray Harbor
What such water goods reveal—only to persons close enough to smell the clinging dregs of seaweed or willing to caress the faux-leather handbag tucked into a cellophane sleeve—are the sentient negotiations of supple conquest.
Supernumerary
In August 2017, I was a passenger—a “supernumerary,” in shipping lingo—aboard a cargo ship that sailed the North Sea’s perimeter before crossing the Atlantic Ocean: Le Havre to Antwerp to Rotterdam to Bremerhaven and over Scotland to Charleston, South Carolina. These photographs and notes document the journey.
WE RIDE THE MARTA BUS
If highways and thoroughfares are Atlanta’s arteries, its bus stops are its pulse sites— places at which human life most authentically inhabits a city on the move.
FUNTOWN
An animated video commission pays homage to the life and death of the boardwalk amusement park, captured in all its thrills and anxiety.
Cathedrals
Tracking the legacy of architect Paul R. Williams, a photographer finds Las Vegas’ modernist sanctuaries.
