LYLE ASHTON HARRIS

American, b 1965

Lyle Ashton Harris has deftly examined the politics of race, sexuality, and gender since the 1980s. In his breakthrough series, “America” (1987–88), Harris photographed himself in drag and whiteface. Raised in New York and Tanzania, he received an MFA in 1990 from the California Institute of the Arts, where he befriended visiting artists and lecturers such as Isaac Julien, Marlon Riggs, and bell hooks. Harris participated in the Whitney’s Independent Study Program in 1992. His work from that decade includes diaristic photos and videos, as well as “The Good Life” (1994), a color portrait series of his biological and chosen queer families Harris’s photographs, films, and collages address subjects such as the vulnerability of the Black male body and the AIDS crisis. His work has been shown in major international group exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (2007), the Busan Biennale (2008), the Bienal de São Paulo (2016), and the Whitney Biennial (2017) He received the David C. Driskell Prize from the High Museum of Art in 2014 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2016.

HUNTER BARNES

American, b 1977

Hunter Barnes is a documentary photographer whose work captures aspects of culture and communities ignored by the mainstream and often misrepresented in the modern American narrative. Barnes trained in photochemistry and traditional photographic techniques. At a young age, he began a nomadic life on the road. In his early twenties, Barnes published his first book documenting the dying communities of the Old West. Other projects followed: four years spent with the Ni Mii Puu, Nez Perce Tribe; months with a serpent handling congregation in the Appalachian Mountains; bikers, lowriders, and street gangs; inmates in California State Prison Intense, true pockets and subcultures of America. The process is an integral part of Barnes' work. He shoots exclusively on film the pace of analogue in harmony with his approach. Fundamental to Hunter’s work is the journey, the people, the place. Then committing them to film before they are greatly changed or gone forever

LIU BOLIN

Chinese, b 1973

Chinese performance artist and photographer Liu Bolin was born in 1973, in Bizhou in the Shandong Province of China. He graduated with a BFA from the Shandong College of Arts in 1995, followed by an MFA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing in 2002. Often referred to as “The Invisible Man”, because he camouflages himself into his environment, Liu Bolin’s Hiding in the City series is his own “silent protest” against the policies of the Chinese government since the Cultural Revolution. In these works, Bolin’s audience is urged to look for the “Invisible Man” in the photograph, who is symbolic of the forgotten men of the relentlessly expanding, capitalist economy of China. Political in his aims, Bolin’s hope is to raise people’s awareness of themselves and others within their environment and to highlight the negative consequences of continuing inequality, injustice and environmental damage It takes 3-4 hours to finish one work, with Bolin remaining completely still while assistants camouflage him into his surroundings before photographing him.

popular culture through a feminist lens, upending symbols of the feminine ideal. In her series of mummified Barbie dolls, Day presented the iconic female figurines encased in materials such as beeswax and silver, which she described as transforming “a sexual or feminized trope into a statement of power and independence.” During a residency at Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny, France in 2010, Day produced prints of flowers that were clipped, pressed in a microwave, scanned digitally, and magnified to 18 times their original size She then manipulated their forms by mirroring half of each image so that the flowers appear perfectly symmetrical. Through this process, Day removed the suggestion of femininity and organic sexuality that flowers are often associated with, instead presenting images that recall religious iconography mandalas, shivas, and chalices E.V.

middle-class upbringing on Long Island, the artist captures both the mundane and the taboo; in bright, gestural strokes, he depicts scenes of grief, inequality, adolescent sexuality, and political malaise. Fischl imbues his subjects, from beachgoers to poolside families, with a sense of gravity and foreboding as he manipulates light and shadow In recent years, he has also painted deadpan scenes of art fairs. Fischl has exhibited widely in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and beyond. His work has fetched seven-figure prices at auction and been acquired for the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, among others.

s n habitation and the environment. His work challenges perceptions of space, blending reality with imaginative interventions to create thought-provoking compositions. The photographs are heavily processed accumulations of time, and information, condensed seamlessly within a single moment. As a post-digital maker, Dionisio González exploits photography and challenges the medium’s preconceived neutrality and objectivity assumptions At the same time he challenges himself as being as much a photographer than a virtual architect. His photographs prompt viewers to reflect on the implications of urbanization and technological advancement on our sense of place and identity. González’ work has been exhibited at institutions worldwide, including: Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Cleveland; Musée d’Art Contemporain (CAPC), Bordeaux; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; Museo de Arte Moderno (MAMBO), Bogotá; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Museo de Arte de São Paulo (MASP); and Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto

Levine is perhaps best known for producing what is already being described as one of the most iconic images of the twenty-first century, Lightness of Being. With light and stillness at its core, the sensational portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II presents an utterly fresh depiction of the most famous woman in the world Levine has had artwork in London’s Science Museum and has staged light performances and exhibitions internationally in spaces such as Radio City in New York commissioned by MoMA, The Royal Opera House, MATE museum in Lima, and London’s Fine Art Society Levine’s status as one of the World’s leading light artists has led to a number of high profile cross media collaborations with Massive Attack, Kate Moss, and Grace Jones, and has produced work for Chanel, BMW and Swarovski.

g p p p g everyday materials for intricate and heavily layered recreations of canonical artworks. Muniz works in a range of media, from trash to peanut butter and jelly, the latter used to recreate Andy Warhol’s famous Double Mona Lisa (1963) that was in turn an appropriation of Da Vinci’s original Layered appropriation is a consistent theme in Muniz’s work: in 2008, he undertook a large-scale project in Brazil, photographing trash-pickers as figures from emblematic paintings, such as Jacques-Louis David’s Neoclassical Death of Marat, and then recreating the photographs in large-scale arrangements of trash. The project was documented in the 2010 film Waste Land in an attempt to raise awareness for urban poverty. Muniz explained the work as a “step away from the realm of fine art,” wanting instead to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day”

DAVID SALLE

American, b 1952

David Salle makes large-scale paintings that arrange art historical and pop cultural references into enigmatic compositions. Salle has variously invoked 19th-century paintings, 1950s advertisements, graffiti, cartoons, and his own photographs. He often embraces widely different moods, styles, and sources within a single canvas, and his compositions can alternately invite and reject psychological, associative interpretations. Altogether, Salle’s sophisticated pastiches offer deadpan commentaries on contemporary life. The artist rose to prominence in the 1980s alongside a generation of painters, including Julian Schnabel and Eric Fischl, who were working in a new expressionist mode; yet he’s also associated with Pictures Generation artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, and Richard Prince, who rethink mass-media imagery and advertisements throughout their practices. Salle has exhibited around the world, and his canvases belong in the collections of the Albertina Museum, the Museo Reina Sofía, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate, and the Stedelijk Museum, among many others. On the secondary market, his work has commanded six-figure prices.
