Adam Ekberg | “An aerosol container. . . ,” Harper’s Magazine

From the story Adam Ekberg’s photograph illustrates in Harper’s Magazine:

Most of W’s perceptions were acquired by looking from outside into the interior of lighted dwellings; what he saw was filtered through double panes and veiling curtains…while he, outside, was in a different atmosphere, the fog-swirled atmosphere of the dark where all movement within the living rooms’ inward light seemed unreal to him, shoddy fictions.

McDermott & McGough

David McDermott was born in 1952 in Hollywood, California. He studied at Syracuse University, New York from 1970 to 1974. Peter McGough was born in 1958 in Syracuse, and studied at the same university in 1976. Their paths never crossed until they both moved to New York City some years later and started their artistic collaboration in 1980. Their photography involves appropriating images and objects from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century, as well as projecting an image of themselves as gentlemen, posing as erudite, impertinent characters. During the 1980s, McDermott & McGough dressed, lived, and worked as artists and “men about town,” circa 1900-1928. They wore top hats and detachable collars, and converted a townhouse on Avenue C in New York City’s East Village, which was lit only by candlelight, to its authentic mid-19th century ideal. “We were experimenting in time,” says McDermott, “trying to build an environment and a fantasy we could live and work in.”

Like their lifestyle, their photographs and paintings are a flat refusal to embrace the historical present. This obsession with the past is reflected in the subjects and styles they bring back to life, and in the precise fictional dates they give to their works. The personal dimension of their work makes it into a deliberately provocative and controversial contemporary artistic performance dealing with political and sociological issues.

McDermott & McGough’s work has appeared in solo and group exhibitions at such institutions as Frankfurter Kunstverein; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City; The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and others.

Marc Yankus | “Timeless Architecture,” Slate

From David Rosenberg’s article for Slate:

In 2013, while walking around Manhattan, Marc Yankus took a photograph of the Goldman Sachs building that stands along the Hudson River in Jersey City. When he got home to look at the image, he was struck by its sharpness and the detail of the building he could see.

“It was fascinating because I felt I could feel the image,” he said.

Over the next couple of years, Yankus decided to bring what he saw and felt into a series called “Buildings” that, although distinctly different than his previous work, maintains his sense of timelessness and what he calls his “nontraditional” photography.
