Exhibition Lab Summer Portfolio Reviews
Twice a year The Exhibition Lab will gather a few of the greats in the field to host portfolio reviews for our students. The summer review took place on Sunday, June 27th. This session's reviewers were:
Stacey Clarkson, Art Director, Harper’s
Jackie Ladner, Assistant Photo Editor, New York Magazine
Russell Lord, Fellow, Department of Photographs, Metropolitan Museum of Art
Andrea Meislin, Director, Andrea Meislin Gallery
Tracey Norman, Director, Yancey Richardson Gallery
Sasha Wolf, Director, Sasha Wolf Gallery
Denise Wolff, Editor, Aperture
One Free Pass award was given out to the reviewee whose work got the most first place votes of confidence from the reviewers and two Reviewer's Choice scholarships (good for a free class at the Ex Lab) were awarded to the next two highest praised artists.
Congratulations to Matthew Gamber who won our Free Pass award. His thoughtful, unique and meticulous Black and white studies of objects that are inherently about color impressed us all as did his other bodies of work, including his whimsical photograms of images from old TV shows and his studies of old chalkboards.
Our Reviewer’s Choice scholarships went to Susan Barnett for her bold, color street series of people and the self-identification implied by their graphic t-shirts and In Sook Kim’s deeply rooted psychological narratives detailing highly charged erotic and emotional fantasies appearing to take place in voyeuristic settings.
