4 November 2015: 10×10 Salon with SALVO group and Witho Worms at The Luncheonette in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Our featured salon presenters for the evening were Sander Uitdehaag, Anne Geene and Arjan de Nooy (the SALVO group) and Witho Worms in discussion with gallerist Johan Deumens. These brilliant Dutch artists traveled all the way to New Amsterdam to discuss their respective art and bookmaking practices within the exploding and vibrant photobook community.
SALVO group: Anne Geene’s work is based on different possible ways of representing reality with photography. By shifting contexts and meanings, she questions the way photographs relate to objectivity.
Arjan de Nooy has studied chemistry, art history and photography. Combining both his own images and found vernacular images, he devises stories in which his role may vary from a collector to an historian or from a photographer to a scientist.
Sander Uitdehaag resides in a world in which he combines literature, theory and photography (of others and himself) into publications and installations that invite readers and viewers to join him on his quests.
And Witho Worms, a Dutch artist-photographer with a background in anthropology, investigates the medium of photography through natural and cultural environments.
