Christian Rex van Minnen: Trapped in Light
“We arrive at things from the inside out, from within our experience to everything outside of it. The wonderful thing about Christian Rex van Minnen and other great artists like him is a conviction that, no matter where we arrive from and whatever unique conditions brought us here, we are all working with the same raw, human material. He welcomes the outside in and the inside out, trusting in the transformative power of this reciprocal exchange. There is nothing to hide, and the most valuable discoveries lie just beyond our fears.”

Mikiko Hara: Invisible Moments
“Photographs are recollections of invisible moments, ones lived but not necessarily experienced. Maybe they make more sense than the world they’re collected from. It’s rare evidence, not of any one person’s reality but of this strange setting where we all happen to intersect—a place of magic, miracle, and of myth.”

Melissa Catanese: Something Like a Breeze
“Novel catastrophes, familiar calamities. The inevitable shadows that loom. As the past evokes the present, the future inevitably echoes the past. Nothing is a mystery and so everything is.”

The Secrets of the Universe are Buried in Darkness
“Every photograph is a photograph of the past. Looking at the world, we capture the light of the present, viewing passing moments forever in the future. But looking up, looking out at the stars is our means of time travel. We can capture the light of the past and view it in the present. Both moments are finite, but the connections we can draw to ourselves from either are infinite.”

Gregory Rick: War & Peace (Interview)
“It’s something that is in line with what's making my heart beat or my lungs take in this air, blood pumping, these most crucial aspects of me. I don't control any of them. Maybe the best parts of the paintings I didn't have anything to do with.” —G.R.

Ross McDonnell: Joyrider
“Flipping back and forth through sequences of smoldering cars, drug-dealing tedium, thrills, and occasionally, their consequences, we witness an upside-down Neverland where unrealized childhood innocence rears in protest to the circumstances that prevented it. The premise and promise is to be forever unsure at what moment childhood ended and adulthood began.”

Tania Franco Klein: The Gorgeous Hitchhike
“There are different ways of being lost, and intention might be what makes all the difference. Often, when you say you're lost, Tania Franco Klein tells me, "You’re actually feeling other things. You're not actually lost. Maybe you’re feeling isolated, frustrated, anxious; that feeling comes from different places." In her work, the Mexico City-based photographer searches out such places. She outlines a universe where they might live, begins to color it in, and during the process, finds she has arrived at some sort of destination.”

Khalik Allah: Showing Us the Light
“For Khalik Allah, photography is a spiritual endeavor, a conscious marriage of street and self, a quest to elevate both. It is also inherently lyrical, and like a preacher improvising a sermon, a musician in the zone, or poet freestyling off the dome, there’s something mystical and transcendent in the execution.”
