“It feels like there are a lot of people thinking along very similar lines, experimenting in similar ways, and it’s just a really beautiful reflection of how vibrant photography is at the moment.” —Charlotte Cotton

Aperture’s 2016 Summer Open was a call for contributions to the idea of photography as a magical form. This optimistic premise attracted a diverse scope of magical contemporary approaches—from pictures found in the happenstance of everyday life to elaborate stagings of studio or desktop experiments. View the exhibition on display at Aperture through August 11, 2016.

Last day to see this show!

“The nature of an ‘emerging’ position seems at odds with a lifelong engagement with art. The term emerging is characterized by a short time span — and is possibly the means to an unfortunately defined end. By gaining validity as emerging you are simultaneously approaching the end of that condition and given no guaranteed descriptive second tier after that. The term alludes to someone coming onto a scene they may only be a part of for a limited time, their reservoir almost immediately depleted in the not-so-distant future…And the one thing we know is, artists go on…” - Pam Lins, artist and professor, Cooper Union School of Art

Kilroy Metal Ceiling, an artist-run project space in Brooklyn founded by Lucas Pinheiro and Jessica Wilson, is pleased to present Treading Water, a group exhibition of twenty-two “emerging artists”. The phrase “emerging artist” is a pervasive marketing term in gallery biographies and press releases that does not fit the range of artists and their diverse practices that it attempts to elevate. In opposition to commodify these artists, we invited them to exhibit work that redefines what an emerging artist is and what exactly they are emerging into.

TGIF is an artist-run curatorial program run by Ryan Oskin, Cait Oppermann, Lauren Zaser, Yael Malka, and Bobby Walsh. Originally conceived as a gallery space in Brooklyn, they have produced exhibitions that highlight the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary art. They have launched Mossless Issue 3: The United States (photographs taken across America over the last decade, voted one of TIME’s Best Photobooks of 2014), Post-Cocktail (photographs of artist-made cocktails with select cocktails made available at the opening, inspired by the Post-Cocktail blog by Roxana Azar), and a pop-up space at Dossier Outpost at New York’s South Street Seaport.
