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.

Todd Hido: Selections from a Survey @ Casemore Kirkeby in San Francisco

Casemore Kirkeby presents its inaugural exhibition, Todd Hido: Selections from a Survey, which is currently being held at the gallery's interim project space in San Francisco's Mission District. This installation, drawn from Oakland-based Hido's ever-expanding archive, invites viewers to dwell on the images and ideas that have followed him throughout his career, continually finding new manifestations in his work. This selection focuses on Hido's primary model Khrystyna - a tacit partner in his cinematic narratives, and a shape shifter in the nightscapes, interiors, and psychological landscapes that she haunts. The result is a deeply personal collection of imagery, often drawn from Hido's own biography and his childhood home of Kent, Ohio - the place that has guided his sustained inquiry into the darker aspects of American suburban life, investigated through the lens of his own imperfect memory. The selection includes several new, never before published works by Hido, along with classic pieces that become elements in the carefully composed sequences of this exhibition. Todd Hido: Selections from a Survey will be on view until August 15, at Casemore Kirkeby, 3328 22nd St. at Valencia in San Francisco.
