I find his childlike markings, his animal parts, his smudges on the wall, carry such an emotional undercurrent that his work becomes Picasso-esque. He uses everything in his work, from drawings to mark-making, to create his assemblages, and then uses the photograph as the final piece. If you think about it like that, his work\u2019s not so far from that of Julian Faulhaber, in that it\u2019s polished and refined. Everyone involved in the exhibition is either a \u2018refiner\u2019 or a \u2018framer\u2019,\u201d says Ryan. \u201cI wanted to show ten artists whose work might not ever be seen together in order to provoke a different understanding. I\u2019d say the artists share not so much a sensibility, but rather a pursuit in common.\u201d<br \/> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><br \/> Indeed the juxtaposition of Stephen Gill\u2019s Anonymous Origami, made from tiny pieces of toilet paper found in hotel rooms, and Simon Norfolk\u2019s new work on rocket launches Full Spectrum Dominance, to choose but two, might seem surprising. And this would be exactly Ryan\u2019s intention. The wonderful thing about curating a show like this, says Ryan, it\u2019s about what happens as you walk around the exhibition, making links between work. <\/p>\n<p> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/ryan_gill.jpg?resize=500%2C213&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00a9 Steven Gill\" title=\"\u00a9 Steven Gill\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 213px;\" height=\"213\" width=\"500\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> <\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\" class=\"photo_copyright\">Steven Gill &#8211; Goldrush \/ Anonymous Origami \/ Reel Charmer<\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"> <br \/> \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of photography. The most important thing about the New York Photo Festival is that it fosters a dialogue with the viewer. It\u2019s absolutely non-commercial and therefore it\u2019s about intellectual rigour and having fun! It\u2019s a chance to be playful, putting together work that isn\u2019t obviously connected. When I look at Simon Norfolk\u2019s rocket launches, I get a pure spiritual stirring, and I see it as part of a brotherhood of images that includes Katherine Wolkoff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Wolkoff is exhibiting her series Deerbeds which although incredibly beautiful, wasn\u2019t immediately speaking to me of the painterly or the sculptural (except perhaps in a Rachel Whiteread \u2018negative space\u2019 way &#8211;&nbsp; the space the deer no longer inhabit). Ryan explained what she sees \u2013 with the advantage of having seen the images \u2018in the flesh\u2019 as opposed to via a computer screen. <br \/> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><br \/> \u201cOf course her work can be seen in several ways, maybe as a thousand blades of grass. I saw the way she absolutely filled the frame as a Jackson Pollock all-over gesture. Of course, there\u2019s a primary draw towards abstraction, yet she is pulling something out of the world. Her caption tells us what they are: beds in the grass for a living breathing deer. What\u2019s really interesting is that her photography is rooted in reality and that she is using the world as her medium. Those bent grasses \u2013 they are her medium \u2013 yet it\u2019s speaking to us like an abstract painting. It makes me tingly like when I look at a Rothko.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/ryan_Wolkoff_Deer%20Beds.jpg?resize=470%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00a9 Katherine Wolkoff\" title=\"\u00a9 Katherine Wolkoff\" style=\"width: 470px; height: 370px;\" height=\"370\" width=\"470\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/> <span class=\"photo_copyright\">Katherine Wolkoff &#8211; Deer Bed<\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><br \/> Ryan chose Chisel for the title of her exhibition out of a sense of so many artists heading out into the world and chiselling something out of it \u2013 be it old chairs in Mexico or a pile of tyres from across the States \u2013 that marks a return to what the most exciting Modernist artists made much of, but that the photographers of the same epoch ignored: using found objects. \u201cPhotographers are absolutely doing now what Duchamp pioneered \u2013 and it\u2019s making photography much more exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> So if much of the work on show is \u2018of this world\u2019 (or in Norfolk\u2019s case, at least half way out of this world), are we looking at documentary photography, or do we have to call it art, as it graces the walls of the Brooklyn exhibition halls? And do these distinctions matter anyway?<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOn the one hand \u2013 no. They don\u2019t matter at all. As a picture editor, my job is to keep finding new ways to tell the same stories, always keeping it fresh. So I cross-pollinate all the time. I\u2019ll use a documentary photographer for a fashion shoot and sparks will fly. But on the other hand: people are who they are. True documentarians are that for a reason. It\u2019s a different pursuit to that of the artist, who is likely to be a little more interior. But then there is work that looks like documentary but is comfortable on a museum wall \u2013 like Taryn Simon. I think what it comes down to \u2013 and I haven\u2019t really articulated this before \u2013 is that art has a requirement of originality; that has to be its aim. The best documentary work in the world can\u2019t be \u2018original\u2019 because we all know the stories \u2013 of war, disaster and so on. Gilles Peress and his use of framing was a turning point, but it still isn\u2019t \u2018art\u2019. The idea alone is what can be called \u2018art\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <em>Kathy Ryan was talking to Max Houghton<\/em><br \/> <strong><br \/> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\" class=\"photo_copyright\"><br \/> <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>At <\/strong><strong><span class=\"times13\"><strong>St. Ann\u2019s Warehouse<br \/> <\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"content\/view\/418\/421\/\" target=\"_self\">What do you think of this exhibition?
