Jordan Tate: New Work #42 (2009–)
“New Work is an exploration of visual language and process. In a sense, it is an examination of how we see, what we see, what merits being seen, and how images function in contemporary visual culture.”—Jordan Tate
Aperture is excited to offer to our collecting audience the limited-edition print New Work #42 by Aperture Portfolio Prize finalist Jordan Tate. This photograph is included in Tate’s thought-provoking series New Work, which investigates the process of image-making and the role new technology plays in contemporary photography.
Tate belongs to a growing group of photographers indebted to predecessors like Christopher Williams and James Welling. Tate pushes the conversation beyond nostalgia and squarely into the present, however, by indulging in screen-based images and nontraditional output methods like lenticular screens, animated GIFs, and 3-D anaglyphs. His images frequently focus on indicators of an image in the making, such as this photograph of a Polaroid that could easily be an exposure/lighting test for a studio shoot.
Each limited-edition print is hand-packed with great care and ships from New York within 3–5 days.
