Aught Fraught Presents :
Islands In The Net organized by Matthew Porter 
Tanyth Berkeley Phil Chang Joshua Citarella Roe Ethridge Daniel Gordon Miranda Lichtenstein Eileen Quinlan Sara Greenberger Rafferty Mariah Robertson Hannah Whitaker  March 19th - April 18th  Rectangle Room at Primary Photographic 113 Eldridge St. NY NY 10002 Open Monday - Friday, 9:30-6:30, Saturday, 10-6  Aught Fraught @aughtfraught is an interview series podcast hosted by Matthew Porter about photography in the early 2000s (the aughts), an era that marked a high point in photography’s cultural visibility and market influence. For many practitioners and enthusiasts, the aughts remain a notably fraught, energetic, and formative decade for the medium. Every month it seemed there was another panel, another essay, another exhibition or catalogue that sought to find meaning and hope in what was largely considered to be photography’s moment of “crisis.”  Islands in the Net brings together a selection of Aught Fraught subjects, showcasing works that use myriad material strategies but focus on representation, particularly photography’s ability to frame ideas through various styles of depiction. The keystone work is Joshua Citarella’s large four panel banner, depicting a dystopian future, and showing the medium’s ability to merge image-generating software, digital appropriation, and lens-based pictures.  Matthew Porter @__matthewporter__ is a photographer living in Brooklyn.

I dug this small rare lil booty out of the archive for the show Islands in the Net at @rectangle.room Opening March 19 6-8pm up through April 18. Panel discussion toward the end. Grateful to be included in this amazing cohort for the podcast and the show. @aughtfraught is on Apple Music and Spotify and is building a deep well of knowledge about a certain kind of photo-ness.

During Frieze Week, the Hammer presents the third annual Voices of the Diaspora symposium organized by the Asian American Pacific Islander Arts Network (AAPIAN). The event features two dynamic panels that bring together diasporic and Indigenous artists and cultural workers of color to challenge colonial legacies and reimagine art histories by exploring the complexities of migration, globalization, and decolonization. By fostering critical dialogue on collective action across studios, classrooms, publishing, and curating, the symposium nurtures cultural innovation and diverse expressions of identity to develop new ways of understanding art’s materials, ecologies, and histories. The event begins with a welcome by AAPIAN founding member Grace Oh @graceuoh and welcome remarks by artist Mercedes Dorame, followed by two panels.

Defining Photography Now
2PM
Moderator Danielle Shang @danielleshang is joined by artists Todd Gray @toddgrayla , Phil Chang @philchang_ , and Mercedes Dorame @mercedes.dorame for a discussion of photography as a medium: what defines “photography” and how it has evolved in the age of smartphones, social media, and displacement/relocation?
.
Filipino American Temporalities
3:30PM
Curator Clarissa Esguerra @claclaclarissa speaks with artists Maryrose Cobarrubias Mendoza @maryrose.c.mendoza , Patrick Martinez @patrick_martinez_studio , and Miljohn Ruperto @miljohnruperto about how cultural identity is constructed through erasure and accumulation, particularly for diasporic communities. Through the lens of Filipino Americans, the conversation is an opportunity to explore ways to challenge fixed narratives of time, place, and identity. .

Studio Visit with Phil Chang @philchang_

It was such a pleasure to visit Phil’s studio. We’re so lucky to have had the chance to get insight on his studio process and to experience his works - images on unfixed photographic paper that slowly darken and fade - while in conversation on his conceptual approach to questions of production, circulation, and consumption.

Thank you for generously sharing your practice and for the inspiring conversation, Phil!
