Gregory Crewdson at Luhring Augustine 5 Apr - 3 May

Exhibition Description:

This exhibition includes a series of new large-scale photographs by Gregory Crewdson. In his latest body of work, made over the past three years, Crewdson continues his exploration of the fertile edges of the American vernacular. Here he focuses less on character and drama and places a greater emphasis on atmosphere and setting. The artist's careful orchestration of light in both interior and exterior scenes serves to draw the viewer into the images, deepening the sense of displacement and solitude. Crewdson's haunting images were made over four productions, in a cyclical process - from winter, into summer, back to winter and into summer again. Crewdson's pictures, by the choice of location- desolate passageways, dimly lit houses, hotel rooms, railroad tracks, trailer parks- typically underscore the inherent theme of rootlessness and loneliness. Gregory Crewdson has exhibited internationally and his photographs are included in numerous museums and public collections around the world. From 2005 to 2008 a retrospective of his work traveled to museums across Europe. He is on the faculty of the Department of Photography at Yale University and lives in New York City .
