Joel Meyerowitz (b. 1938) was born in New York City and began taking photographs in 1962.

As an early advocate of color photography (mid-60’s), Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of color photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance.

KATE OH GALLERY

The prevailing view of photography as a medium designed to express facts and freeze moments in time is given a new dimension in Min Yeon Sik’s work. Instead of relying on abundant natural light to illuminate his subjects, Min consciously confronts the absence of light, choosing to reveal a reality that remains hidden from casual observation. This intentional engagement with darkness redefines the traditional role of photography by transforming it into a means of uncovering the intrinsic nature of subjects when stripped of their luminosity.

Gallery Talk

Sous Les Etoiles Gallery

Antony Cairns, has used the city and its urban development as an ostensible subject and chooses to engage deeply with the history of the photographic medium, experimenting with printing methods and the aesthetics of abstraction. By referring to authors of anticipation literature such as JG Ballard or China Mieville, Antony Cairns explores the corners of an imaginary city where encounters do not appear. By printing his works and assembling them as montages on early computer punch cards – perhaps the earliest icon of the Information Age – and more recently by using the Electronik Ink or E-Ink *, Antony Cairns raises questions about the way in which urban fragmentation take hold of social bonds.

Gallery Hours: 11am-6pm.
