This is the last week to see States of Flux a group show of works by Parsons Photography BFA and MFA programs on view at the Aperture Gallery. The show contends with the changing nature of the medium of photography and featured works ask such questions as How does the contemporary photographer contend with the forces of rapid technological change and how do these forces affect the ways in which photographers picture the globalized world?

Looking to get out of the city for a day? Take a trip to Mount Tremper Arts in the Catskill Mountains and see Seven Summits, the group photography exhibition featured during their Summer Festival. The exhibition highlights the practice of artists whose adventuresome spirit leads them straight to the source of their subject matter, whether it be found inside the studio or across the country. Seven Summits features fourteen pieces by seven artists, including Artur Ou from the Center for Photographic Media and Culture at Parsons The New School for Design which currently has an exhibition on view at Aperture Gallery, States of Flux. Also featured in the show are works by artists Roe Etheridge and Miranda Lichtenstein.

Mount Tremper Arts was founded by photographer Mathew Pokoik and choreographer Aynsley Vanderbroucke is a multi-disciplinary non-profit that supports contemporary artists in the creation and presentation of new works of art.

Join Aperture this Thursday, June 24th for the opening reception of States of Flux, a summer show of student work from Parsons The New School for Design’s BFA and MFA photography programs. The reception will be hosted by SNAP! the Aperture Young Patrons Program and marks Aperture’s ongoing mission to support the work of promising young artists.

States of Flux was conceived as an examination of ways in which an emerging generation of artists are contending with forces of rapid technological change, new found potential for immediate mass distribution and consumption of images, as well as the burden of almost-immediate, unplanned (or planned) obsolescence of the photograph. The show’s artists are engaged in discourse about post-photographic realism while picturing the complexity of contemporary reality.

Aperture Foundation and the Center for Photographic Media and Culture at Parsons The New School for Design are pleased to announce States of Flux, a group exhibition of works by Parsons’ students, will be on view at the Aperture Gallery June 24th through August 12th, 2010.

The twelve artist’s in States of Flux, selected from the BFA and MFA photography programs at Parsons The New School for Design, consider the need to produce and consume images while simultaneously addressing the changing nature of the medium itself.

Artists Ho Chang, Chang Kyun Kim, Grady O’Connor, and Nathan Harger consider the physical impact of consumer-effected environments. Working with the shift in image-making from the indexical to the digitally malleable, artists Sally Dennison, Haley Jane Samuelson, Jun Ahn, and Bobby Davidson confront the state of flux that the self encounters in digital space. Artists Lauren Pascarella, Marie Vic, Luke Burke, and Rachel Porter confront the desire to consume. And Merve Unsal, Patrick Taylor, Erica Campbell, and Olga Migliaressi-Phoca employ photographic projection and video strategies to critique systems of power.
