ISSUE 19 | DREAMBOATS w/ Umbrage Gallery
Dear all,
This week we welcome back Ashley Singley as our guest curator.
Ashley selected a series of photographs by Dreamboats Collective, a new agency featuring four young photographers: Adam Golfer, Joe Leavenworth, TJ Proechel, and Daniel Shea. Unlike our previous shows, this one can be experienced both online and in person (if you happen to be in New York City). The exhibition will be on view from November 5th through December 22nd, Monday through Saturday 11–6 pm, at Umbrage Editions gallery in Dumbo, Brooklyn. As a special holiday feature, each artist will make available a limited edition 8”x10” and 11”x14” affordable print series (ranging from $35 to $200) for sale at the gallery.
About the show:
As a group, Dreamboats adds to the growing disambiguation between working personally and working editorially. Membersof the collective, who met at Maryland Institute College of Art, are primarily engaged in contemporary fine art and social documentary practices, but their professed intention is to circumvent the traditional photographic establishment to create a self-sustaining network of distribution and support for the creation of new photographic works. The works selected for the exhibition are from each artist’s recent body of work:
Adam Golfer’s series, Kin*,
Joe Leavenworth’s Pictures from Home,
TJ Proechel’s Dream House, and
Daniel Shea’s Untitled (Baltimore).
