Ed van der Elsken: “Love” & Other Stories at Howard Greenberg Gallery

Max Kozloff once described gentile street photographers as “operating with a proprietary nonchalance.” That is, they act like they own the place, as opposed to the insecurity, desperation, intellectualism, and sociopolitical outrage of their Jewish counterparts. The Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken worked at the same time as Garry […]

Barbara Crane: The Polaroid Years at Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago, and Barbara Crane at Ninety: A Look at Selected Series at Stephen Daiter Gallery, Chicago

If you live in downtown Chicago you sometimes get the feeling that you inhabit a Barbara Crane photograph – that is how synonymous Crane’s vision has become over the past 60 years with the Midwestern urban experience of its grids and grit. Crane turned 90 years old this year, which […]

Stan Douglas: DCTs and Scenes from the Blackout at David Zwirner

While poles apart visually, the two series excerpted in Stan Douglas’s 14th solo appearance at David Zwirner through April 7 have more in common than may initially appear; both are products of sophisticated processes of manipulation, and both position the photographic medium as an arena in which the staged and […]

Karine Laval: Heterotopia at Robert Koch Gallery

A gallery full of Karine Laval’s photographs is a lush, colorful place. Robert Koch Gallery, for example, feels like a tropical paradise, with large color prints of leafy palms, cacti, and wild flowers seen through what appear to be hallucinogenic filters. The colors (fuscia, yellow, blue, green) are amped to […]

Justin Kimball: Elegy at the Gershman Y, Philadelphia

One day in 2012, after President Barack Obama’s reelection, Justin Kimball got into his truck and took to the road to look for America among the mill towns of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Four years later, the result of his journeys was Elegy (Radius Books, 2016), a […]

(un)expected families at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

“Family” is one of the most elastic words in the English language. Coleridge wrote about “the family of fame.” Steichen exhibited The Family of Man (a title that would be deemed sexist today). The Mafia calls itself The Family, and mathematicians recognize “a family of equations.” On view at the Museum of […]

Erik Madigan Heck: Old Future at Jackson Fine Art

Although he is an artist who produces photographs, the camera is the last and in some ways least-significant component of Erik Madigan Heck’s process for capturing an image, more of a technical necessity than a creative priority. This at least partially explains why Heck’s photographs – often of elegant female […]

Stutter Shutter: Whitney Hubbs at Casemore Kirkeby

Satin sheets can look sexier in pictures than they feel in real life – made, as they often are, with polyester. This capacity for illusion makes them terrific photographic props – the shiny textile appears in a few of Whitney Hubbs’s recent photographs, conveying an alluring wit and abject sensuality. […]

Tina Barney: Landscapes at Paul Kasmin Gallery

Tina Barney titled her exhibition, on view at Paul Kasmin Gallery until March 3, Landscapes. For a photographer known primarily for her photographs of human beings – namely, of New England’s upper crust – this feels like a departure. But upon closer inspection – which the large prints, taken with […]
