Dream America
September 1 - 30, 2000
Reception September 7, 6 - 8 PM
Lawrence Rubin · Greenberg Van Doren · Fine Art is pleased to present an exhibition of new photographs by Katy Grannan. The exhibition, entitled Dream America, will be on view from September 1 - 30, 2000. This will be the New York based artist’s first one-person exhibition.
Dream America will include twelve large (44" x 35") color photographs. The exhibition will feature portraits of adolescents, young mothers and children, and couples. To find her sitters, Grannan places an advertisement in local suburban papers, including the Poughkeepsie Journal, Wisconsin Tribune, and the Austin Chronicle. These ads, found in the classified section, read:
ART MODELS
Artist / photographer (female)
Seeks people for portraits.
No experience necessary.
Leave msg.
Grannan’s process is quick; each portrait is taken within the short span of three hours. She arrives at the homes with only a camera, a light and a fan. Grannan transforms the sitter’s room into a stage, pushing beds and moving tables. There is a performative element to the work, on both sides. In this body of work, the illusion is no longer one of being a glamorous airbrushed model, but rather the fantasy becomes the act of being photographed.
Katy Grannan received her BFA from the University of Pennsylvania and her MFA from Yale University. The artist’s work was included in the exhibition Another Girl, Another Planet and her photographs have been featured in The New York Times Magazine. The show will be accompanied with a full color catalogue.
Lawrence Rubin · Greenberg Van Doren · Fine Art is located at 730 5th Avenue at 57th St., New York, NY 10019. Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM. For more information about the exhibition, please contact the gallery at 212.445.0444.
