3 June 2019: 10×10 hosted a salon with Shonagh Marshall and David Brandon Geeting at Perrotin Gallery on the Lower East Side in Manhattan.
Shonagh Marshall is a curator and writer who specializes in fashion. Shonagh’s fashion exhibitions and publications have included Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!, Utopian Voices, Here and Now, Hair by Sam McKnight, and Hanna Moon and Joyce Ng: English as a Second Language, at Somerset House, London. Her work is a product of collaborations with her generation of creatives and offers a critical analysis on the contemporary fashion landscape. In 2017, she wrote and co-edited Posturing (SPBH Editions), a book which explores pose in contemporary fashion photography and is an example of her research in response to the zeitgeist. An inspiring storyteller, Shonagh also lectures internationally and writes for magazines such as Vogue, 10 Magazine, System, and AnOther.
David Brandon Geeting is a New York-based photographer who focuses on bringing out compelling details in his subjects with the use of harsh light. His subjects vary from the everyday to the extraordinary. After studying at New York’s School of Visual Arts, Geeting states that he began chronicling anything and everything around him. Common objects take on a new facade when re-photographed, re-assembled, or juxtaposed together in colorful, surprising and humorous combinations. His self-proclaimed urge to “shine a spotlight on things that are otherwise insignificant” has produced an exciting portfolio of still life photography. Building upon this same philosophy, Geeting’s work also spans the worlds of fashion and portraiture – while consistently maintaining the derisive sense of humor and playfulness that makes his work unique.
His work has been published in three monographs including Infinite Power (2015), an amusing compilation of imagery that the artist describes as “a collection of nothing” – a photograph from which won him the American Photography 32 Award. S.K.N.P (South Korean Nature Photography) investigates relationships between the natural and urban. His third book is Amusement Park (2017).
In his ongoing personal project Neighborhood Stroll, Geeting makes daily observations on his personal environment as he walks the streets to catch a glimpse of the spontaneous in his Brooklyn neighborhood.
A big thank you to Michelle Yo and the entire Perrotin Gallery team.
