Exhibition : « Hesitating Beauty » by Joshua Lutz
As a child American photographer Joshua Lutz watched his mother unscrew the phone, looking for hidden recording bugs or search for patterns in license-plate numbers. His series "Hesitating Beauty" is a reflection on the relationship to his mother’s mental illness, his dealing with the fear of being affected by schizophrenia and depression himself and on the history of his family. In his project, Lutz fundametally reflects on the narrative possibilities of photograhy, informing his own photographs by photographs from the family archives, letters and documents.

Hesitating Beauty - Joshua Lutz
Based on his experiences caring for a parent struggling with depression and schizophrenia, Joshua Lutz’s series Hesitating Beauty brings together old family snapshots alongside the artist’s portraits of his mother, in addition to staged dream-like photographs that emphasize the confusion and pain associated with mental illness. Many have described the series as “creative nonfiction,” as the resulting narrative is part archive, part reinterpretation of the past, and ultimately resists a linear progression of events. Others argue that it is potentially a more accurate document than what traditional methods of storytelling might produce. In the preface for his book of the same name, Lutz explains his process and motivations informing the project:

ClampArt presents «Joshua Lutz: Hesitating Beauty»
ClampArt is very pleased to announce “Joshua Lutz: Hesitating Beauty,” the artist’s second solo show at the gallery. The exhibition coincides with the release of Lutz’s monograph of the same title from Schilt Publishing (Hard-cover, 96 pages, 9.5 x 6.7 inches, $35).
In “Hesitating Beauty,” Lutz breaks down the structure of the photograph as truth and challenges the traditional function of the medium in building narrative. The project is an intimate portrait of the artist’s mother unlike any other photo- graphic model.

Joshua Lutz : Meadowlands
ClampArt is pleased to present an exhibition of work by photographer, Joshua Lutz, on the occasion of the publication of the artist’s monograph, Meadowlands (powerHouse Books, 2008).
Joshua Lutz began photographing the Meadowlands ten years ago as a documentary study of the 32-square-miles of marshy wilderness that sits between New Jersey and New York (and ostensibly as a search for Jimmy Hoffa's remains). Over the years, however, this project has evolved into a compelling artistic exploration, revealing the soul of this liminal space. Robert Sullivan, in the introduction to Lutz’s book, describes the Meadowlands as “[…] that giant swath of swamp and space that separates New Jersey from New York City, or, put another way, from New York City and the rest of the United States of America.&r...
