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.

Deanna Templeton "What She Said" @ Little Big Man Gallery In Los Angeles

Little Big Man Gallery presents What She Said, a solo exhibition of work by photographer Deanna Templeton. The show will feature a collection of portraits of women that Templeton has taken over the last 15 years and pairs the photographs with excerpts from her teenage journal entries from the mid to late 1980’s. The body of work formed naturally as many of her series do. Templeton had been shooting in the streets for years, both candidly and asking for portraits with no particular grand scheme. Over the last five years she came to realize that many of the women that she was approaching for portraits had something in common. They were a reflection of her when she was their age or they were symbolic of who she wanted to be at that age. Templeton was drawn to these women for a reason. Deanna Templeton "What She Said" will be on view until July 31 at Little Big Man Gallery in Los Angeles.

What She Said: Read Our Exclusive Interview With Deanna Templeton On The Occasion Of Her New Book And Solo Photography Show →

Most may know Deanna Templeton as the wife, muse and woman behind skater, photographer extraordinaire, Ed Templeton. Just the same, though, you could say that Ed is the man and muse behind Deanna. But the truth is that they walk hand in hand – sometimes literally – especially when they go on their daily stroll through Huntington Beach photographing the seaside community’s sun drenched denizens. Indeed, Deanna and Ed are truly one of the greatest artistic duos in recent memory. While their work isn’t purely collaborative, both of their identities as artists and photographers are wholly unique, dynamic and alive with a searing, youthful vibrancy. Click here to read more. 

A Samurai of The Sea: Read Our Interview With Nolan Hall On Surf Culture, Deadbeat Photographers Club And His Upcoming Solo Exhibition →

Surf culture has a certain spiritual mysticism that extends beyond the sport and enters the realm of the samurai. There are codes, there are secrets and there are veils split by the curling lip of the tide. Surfers are like samurai warriors of the sea. Growing up in Capistrano Beach, the waves beckoned a young Nolan Hall and so did the clandestine beaches, and secret surf locales and the legends of the sport. And since, surf culture has become a way of life for Hall; not only as a surfer, but also a documentarian. His photographs have taken him on wild adventures – a selection of those images will be shown at his solo exhibition, entitled Peregrines, opening this weekend at Paul Loya Gallery. Click here to read the interview.

Ed Templeton 'Synthentic Suburbia' @ Roberts & Tilton

“Synthetic Suburbia is a culmination of years of looking at the place where I live and the peculiarity of it. I have travelled all over the world and there is no place as strange as Huntington Beach.” Primarily known as a photographer documenting the people and culture surrounding the iconic pier in Huntington Beach, California, Ed Templeton’s Synthetic Suburbia is a survey of new paintings and drawings directly inspired from this emersion into his coastal suburban environment. Synthetic Suburbia extends Templeton’s diaristic observances into a compelling visual analysis of the concrete experiences, perceptions, and idiosyncrasies of this hyper-local existence.  Synthetic Suburbia will be on view until May 30, 2015 at Roberts and Tilton, 5801 Washington Boulevard, Culver City, California. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper
