A CONTEMPORARY PLATFORM FOR FOUND PHOTOGRAPHY by Jason Brinkerhoff


Here is a project I have been working on for a couple of years with a good friend of mine who owns a gallery in New York City.  Working loosely from the shows title, 'OTHER BODIES', we've assembled 65 photographs that present alternative views of the human form as found in vernacular snapshots.  My goal with this show was to reconsider the context and strategies in which Found Photography is curated and distributed.  The show works as a cohesive vision from the point of view of a collector/curator setting aside survey and categorical strategies.  Each photograph is framed and presented for sale in New York's Chelsea art district.
