Graphic Intersections

- The Exposure Project’s new project Graphic Intersections went live last week and it is a really nice series of images from a great group of photographers including Jane Tam, Drew Kelly, Noel Rodo Vankeulen, Ed Panar, Scott Eiden, as well as many others.

Graphic Intersections is a collaborative project loosely based on the old Surrealist and Dadaist game The Exquisite Corpse. Designed to unite disparate artists in an interconnected photographic relay of images inspired by one another, this project strives to emphasize a system of response entirely rooted in unmediated visual reaction.
The first photographer made a photograph, which was subsequently forwarded to the second in line. The 2nd then, based solely on their own visual, emotional, intellectual or philosophical response, in turn made photographs in artistic reaction to the one they were given. The artists involved were not given any written material to accompany the photograph, nor did they know whose image they were responding to. This was designed to propagate chance, or as the Surrealist’s put it, exploit “the mystique of accident.”
Ultimately, Graphic Intersections to challenge the bounds of sequential, narrative imagery, while simultaneously fostering stronger lines of artistic affiliation.

Grant Ernhart

- Grant Ernhart’s series Life in the Woods has some really nice work in it.

In the summer of 2008 I participated in an artist residency on the Jeffer’s Tree farm in southeastern Ohio. I did not have many expectations about the experience, but soon after arriving at the farm I began photographing my fellow residents and the natural setting of the residency. I think I held the lofty goal of wanting to capture the mythical artist in the midst of creation. However, instead of the idealized “Artist” who finishes works with supernatural talents, I witnessed a very consistent and persistent curiosity to be the source of my fellow residents creativity. Over the course of my stay, I came to realize that the artist, as with any archetype that we place high up on a pedestal, is just person. This realization was both amazing and diminishing.

Life in the Woods is a project that documents the participants of an artist residency and their creative endeavors. It also examines the natural setting of the tree farm, which was often the backdrop, inspiration and subject matter for many of the artists’ projects.
