Foam presents Shelter Island, the newest work of Roe Ethridge (1969, US). At the eastern end of Long Island, New York, the photographer turned to his family and the characteristically American ‘Kit House’ they rented for the summer of 2015. There he became fascinated by a range of stored away possessions from the homeowners and their children.
Employing an array of classic photographic genres – from portraiture to still life to landscape – Ethridge captures his subjects and surrounding environment in intimate detail. The artist combines the glossy effect of commercial photography with the sensitivity of fine art photography. The outcome is a body of work that is both familiar and uncanny, and nostalgic as well as contemporary.

When you stop talking and doing, and close your eyes, what comes to mind? Voices? Images? Feelings? Like landscape seen from a plane, these phenomena hover on a sublime verge between fascinating and boring. Well, that might be true of anything viewed from a distance: the stars, the sea, mountains, the horizon. And what of social phenomena? Same. On any forgotten record, it’s in the filler songs that you find the blank, thoughtless strivings laid bare, production patterns of another day, secrets of the ornaments.
Look further back, to a time when age 25 was referred to as ‘the mid-point of life,’ when cattle were the only capital. One senses something of the mesh of fear and regimentation and suffering and bloody sacrifice from which civilization was meant to escape. This is the coin of the realm....
Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York and Capitain Petzel, Berlin are pleased to present parallel exhibitions featuring a new body of work by Roe Ethridge: Sacrifice Your Body, which will be accompanied by an artist book of the same title.
In his latest body of work, Ethridge conflates a rich array of photographic tropes, combining personal documentary images made in western Palm Beach County, Florida (his mother’s childhood home), with surreal collage works, images from a discarded Chanel magazine story, cross-connected still-life images of a Bonne Maman jam jar, a Nike football, a phone receiver from the 80’s and a diptych of a very dead flounder. These are interwoven with what appears to be a carefully directed scene depicting a teeth-white Durango SUV sinking into, and then being retrieved from, a canal. ...

« Dès lors que l'art n'a plus le monopole de [la fabrication de] l'image, qu'il a des rivaux (la photographie, le cinéma, la vidéo, la télévision), se pose la question de ce que les artistes font avec les images et du pourquoi de leur utilisation. » Yves Michaud, La Crise de l’art conte...
L’impression qui reste après la première vision d’une image ou d’une série d’images dépend de la capacité sensorielle de chacun à conserver la trace aperceptive de cette rencontre.
Cette exposition collective, consacrée à l’art américain récent, se concentre sur la façon dont les artistes réagissent à la pléthore d’images et d’informations dans la culture actuelle. L’image est à la fois convoquée et révoquée dans plusieurs œuvres de cette l’exposition : des matériaux tout faits et des images trouvées sont utilisés d’une façon qui contourne l’héritage de l’Appropriation Art caract...
The 2010 edition of MoMA's annual photography series highlights the work of Roe Ethridge, Elad Lassry, Alex Prager, and Amanda Ross-Ho, four contemporary artists who engage photography as a medium with fluid borders between editorial work, film, and visual art. Their pictures—whether shot in the real world, manipulated in the studio, or culled from pop culture, advertising, and the movie industry—have shifted contexts at least once, often from the magazine page to the gallery wall. Infusing the seductive language of film and commercial photography with a touch of sly conceptualism, they explore the relationship between straight and constructed photographs and still and moving images. The exhibition features 36 works of photography and film; Lassry's Untitled (2009) and the U.S. debut of Prager's De...
L’approche conceptuelle de la photographie de Roe Ethridge s’attaque de manière ludique aux traditions et aux conventions de la photographie elle-même. En refusant la moindre autonomie de l’image individuelle, Ethridge réalise des juxtapositions inattendues de photographies en couleurs, en mêlant le domaine de la « photographie d’art » avec une imagerie plus communément associée au domaine commercial. Avec ses séries de photographies, dont résultent des formes variées d’analogies et de significations interstitielles, Ethridge propose une sélection d’images en apparence banales emprente d’une touche d’hyperréalité troublante. Souvent, leur sensibilité décal&eacut...
From the lyrics of OutKast’s pop anthem Hey Ya to clues laid out for the amnesiac protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s film Memento, the Polaroid has had a significant impact on contemporary culture. ‘Shake It: An instant History of the Polaroid’ brings to light some of the more intriguing and innovative examples in the history of the Polaroid photograph, exploring its cultural significance and the diversity of its applications. Besides work by some of the most important artists working with the medium, the show will also include Polaroids from other diverse professions and disciplines such as forensics, archaeology, medicine, filmmaking and fashion, as well as those of amateurs and enthusiasts.
Many of the works in this exhibition have never been shown in the UK before, such as David Hock...
