Galerie Perrotin is delighted to present “Body Loud”, an
exhibition by Ryan McGinley, comprised of over twenty brand
new, primarily large-format photographs taken over the course
of last summer. This is his first show with the gallery.
Since 2005, McGinley has spent each summer developing his
ongoing body of road-trip photographs. He and his crew travel
the country to capture non-professional models in a variety of
natural settings. The production of these images has evolved
greatly since their inception—what began as fly-on-the wall
documentation now consists of rigorous and intense production
schedules, elaborate safety precautions, and mobile studio
lighting. The situations are meticulously staged, although the
resultant images are not: McGinley’s practice still allows for
and thrives upon spontaneity.
The Daelim Museum, in Seoul, is presenting “Magic Magnifier,”
a comprehensive survey of Ryan McGinley’s work, running from
November 7, 2013, to February 23, 2014.
Ryan McGinley is a New York-based artist who was raised in
New Jersey and moved to the city in 1996. In 2003, at age
25, Ryan McGinley was the youngest artist to receive a solo
exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art (“The Kids
Are Alright”). McGinley’s work is featured in numerous museum
collections, including the Guggenheim Museum, New York,
the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, Washington and
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has been the
subject of monographic exhibitions at the Kunsthalle in Vienna,
MUSAC in Leon, Spain, and MOMA PS1 in New York. He
has had numerous one-man gallery and museum exhibitions
around the world.
