A Rabbit as King of the Ghosts

Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York

Mitchell-Innes & Nash will present a summer photography exhibition curated by photographers Justine Kurland and Dan Torop in its Chelsea space. The exhibition will include works from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, with a number of photographs on loan from private and public collections.

According to the curators, "This is a photography exhibition about magic. For us, the photographer is a seeker of mystery, and the act of photographing casts a spell that turns the banal into the supernatural. The works displayed here propose a history of photography which emphasizes the spiritual over the rational... We advocate a practice where the camera, used as an art-making tool, touches on a vast unknowable rather than delimits the real."

The 27 artists included in the exhibition are Bas Jan Ader, Angelblood, Kenneth Anger, Eugene Atget, Antoine-Henri Becquerel, William Balch, Roe Ethridge, Annika von Hausswolff, F. Jay Haynes, Susan Jennings, Joan Jonas, Matt Keegan, Clarence Kennedy, Darius Kinsey, Robert Macpherson, Corey McCorkle, Eadweard Muybridge, Simone Nieweg, Alice O'Malley, Adam Putnam, Victoria Sambunaris, David Benjamin Sherry, Joseph Sudek, W.F. Swann, Fe'lix Teynard, Carleton Watkins, and Will Wendt.

Justine Kurland's photographs have been exhibited at museums and galleries in the U.S. and internationally. She received her B.F.A from School of Visual Arts, NY in 1996, and her M.F.A. from Yale University in 1998. She is represented by Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York. Dan Torop received his B.A. in 1994 from Harvard University and his M.F.A. in 1997 from Yale University. His work has been featured at museums and galleries around the U.S. Torop is represented by Derek Eller Gallery, New York.
