"31 Women in Art Photography" Exhibition
Hasted Kraeutler
This event has ended.
Humble Arts Foundation, in association with Hasted Kraeutler, presents its third, biennial edition of 31 Women in Art Photography, curated by Natalia Sacasa and Jon Feinstein, celebrates thirty-one of the most innovative women in new art photography.
The exhibition presents an eclectic mix of new talent culled from open submissions, and similar to Humble Art Foundation’s past projects, the work included defies fixed genres in contemporary art photography and features an international pool of images that range from documentary to still life, and in some cases incorporates multiple approaches.
“Reviewing the submissions for the 31 Women in Art Photography exhibition was an enlightening experience,” says curator Natalia Sacasa. “I have come away with a deeper understanding of the influences and motivations that drive the current generation of practicing female art photographers. This group of women that we have selected are truly furthering the limits of the medium and are simultaneously involved in the discourse of conceptual art.”
Curator Jon Feinstein adds, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to exhibit this innovative new work. The artists in this exhibition are taking a refreshing approach to photography and continue to push it forward in new and exciting ways.”
Natalia Sacasa is senior director at Luhring Augustine. Over the course of her career she has worked with artists such as Larry Clark, Luisa Lambri and Joel Sternfeld. Natalia curated the photographic exhibition Strange Magic for the gallery in 2007 and in 2009 she organized the exhibition Separate Entities in collaboration with Matthew Dipple for Museum 52 Gallery in NY. Natalia received her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
