agnès b. presents “... PHOTOGRAPHERS ... ARTISTS AND THE SNAP CARDIGAN” in New York

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her signature Snap Cardigan, agnès b. presents “... PHOTOGRAPHERS ... ARTISTS AND THE SNAP CARDIGAN”

The exhibition will echo the first snap cardigan exhibition held at agnès b.’s Galerie du Jour in Paris as part of Mois de la Photo in 1986, where 140 photographers originally contributed to the exhibition. Each were asked to photograph the iconic snap cardigan in his or her own way. Acclaimed by the public and critics alike, the exhibition was then held at the Centre Pompidou in 1996. 

For the 2020 exhibition, which was shown in Paris at the end of 2019, agnès b. has given carte blanche to more than 70 photographers and artists from 14 different nationalities. Young emerging artists and established artists from urban and contemporary scenes offer their interpretation of this timeless garment, working with a singular specification of a 40 × 60 centimeter photograph whose main subject is the snap cardigan. Juergen Teller, David Lynch, Carly Steinbrunn, Mark Cohen, Omar Victor Diop, Ryan McGinness, Jim Jarmush, Martha Cooper, Hiraku Suzuki, Cheryl Dunn, Massimo Vitali, Annette Messager and Maripol are just a snapshot of the celebrated names invited by designer Agnes B. to photograph the iconic snap cardigan in his or her own way.

The exhibition will open on February 8, 2020, at 195 Chrystie Street. NY. It will be on view through March 1, 2020, with an opening reception for the artists on Saturday February 8 4 - 8PM. photographs courtesy of agnès b.

Ari Marcopoulos: "Films. Photographs." @ Fergus McCaffrey In New York

Ari Marcopoulos has defined the pillars of his work as “noise, exertion, rebellion and chaos.” In Fergus McCaffrey’s exhibitions, the artist brings the guiding principles of his photographic approach to video work, where they are informed by a sense of equanimity, care, and grace, capturing the slow flow and punctuated ruptures of contemporary social life. Marcopoulos brings a formalist’s eye to public gathering spaces, transforming basketball courts, public parks, churches, and community centers into stages upon which the unplanned direction of daily life plays out. In each transatlantic location, a selection of newly produced washi prints by the artist will be on view. This body of photos is largely, but not exclusively, drawn from Marcopoulos’s 2010-2012 archive and reprinted on handmade paper carefully selected from a washi collective found only in Japan. The exhibition is on view through February 23 at Fergus McCaffrey 514 West 26th Street New York. photographs courtesy of Fergus McCaffrey

Ari Marcopoulos: Wherever you go

Marlborough Chelsea is pleased to present Wherever You Go, a solo exhibition of new work by Ari Marcopoulos. Often atmospheric and abstracted, the works comprising Wherever You Go by renowned photographer, filmmaker and artist Ari Marcopoulos include grandly-scaled pigment prints and smaller photographs on rice paper that, through the processes of multiple printings of the same image, result in lush surfaces of densely textured black and white. On view until June 15, 2012. Marlborough Chelsea, 545 West 25th Street. Photograph by Austin McManus
