This event has ended.
KLOMPCHING GALLERY announces FRESH 2012: The Wall/The Page/The Internet—the gallery’s annual summer exhibition—showcasing new voices in contemporary photography.
FRESH 2012 is co-curated by the distinguished collector of photo-based art, Fred Bidwell (Bidwell Projects), and Klompching Gallery owner, Darren Ching. Together, they have selected the work of five exciting new photographers from an international open call for submissions.
Martin Bogren presents Lowlands—moody black & white photographs of his childhood village in the province of Skane (Sweden). Although the mode of photographing is documentary, his vision is highly personalized. The creative partnership of Barbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman represent an increasing concern in contemporary photography, regarding the photographic object. Natural History is a series of portraits, whereby pigment prints have been overlayed with cyanotypes. With Origins of an Emotion, Monika Merva states that she is looking to photograph “subjects that evoke quiet emotional intensity.” Flicker (Series 1) is Shawn Rocco’s ‘portrait’ of the flickering illumination of fluorescent lights, existing below the threshold of human perception, but made visible through the act of photographing. For Tabitha Soren, her Running series is an exploration of panic, mortality, resilience and the role of the accident in life. The photographs are as much about what is outside of the frame, as what is happening inside it.
FRESH 2012 expands across the wall, the page and the internet—by showcasing the five photographers in the following ways:
