Redux Contemporary Art Center in Charleston,
SC, Offers Exhibit of Manipulated Photography
Redux Contemporary Art Center in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibition, The Constructed Image, featuring works by Luis Gispert, Daniel Gordon, Lori Nix, Chris Scarborough, and Nathan Baker. The exhibit opens on May 8 and continues through June 7, 2008.
Redux is proud to present a new group exhibition featuring five American photographers who challenge the nature of truth as documented by the photograph.
The Constructed Image will explore works made by contemporary photographers who employ digital manipulation, traditional photographic manipulation or the use of models and sets to create a new photographic reality. Each artist calls into question how truth is recorded and conveyed to the viewer through imagery, and the subsequent effect of constructed imagery in contemporary society.
Luis Gispert
Photographer, filmmaker and sculptor, Luis Gispert completed a double solo exhibition with Zach Feuer Gallery and Mary Boone Gallery in NYC this year. The Whitney Museum in NYC has recently selected work from his latest series El Mundo Es Tuyo (the world is yours) for their permanent collection. Gispert's work was featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial and in exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Art, London, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany, and MoCA, Shanghai. A survey exhibition of his work will open at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami in 2008. Gispert currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Daniel Gordon
Daniel Gordon is a New York based artist and recent graduate of the Yale University School of Art. He has exhibited with Zach Feuer Gallery, NYC, GroeflinMaag Gallery, Basel, Switzerland, and the Angstrom Gallery, Dallas TX. The artist uses photographic sources as sculptural material which he then constructs and rephotographs for presentation.
Lori Nix
Bending the line between truth and illusion, artist Lori Nix creates fictional worlds from small dioramas that seem to exist on a grand scale. Nix has exhibited widely across the nation and is currently repressed by Randall Scott Gallery in DC, Stephen Cohen Gallery, Los Angeles, G. Gibson Gallery, Seattle, Miller Block Gallery, Boston and ClampArt in NYC.
Chris Scarborough
Chris Scarborough works in intricate detail, pixel by pixel, reconstructing and distorting his subjects' faces and bodies according to the tropes of Japanese manga or anime, examining ideas related to cuteness, beauty and perfection. Scarborough has exhibited with TAG Gallery, Nashville, Gescheidle, Chicago and Marcia Wood Gallery, Atlanta, GA and has a forthcoming exhibition titled, Warbabies with the Foley Gallery, NYC.
Nathan Baker
Nathan Baker attended both Kendall College of Art & Design and Columbia College in Chicago. His work, which often involves complex sets, offers a voyeuristic perspective that allows the viewer the spectacle of watching another in the thrall of a particular experience. Baker has exhibited with the Randall Scott Gallery in DC, Blue Sky Gallery in Portland and the Schneider Gallery in Chicago.
