Michael Bühler-Rose

…Florida-based artist Charles Benton’s Opposing Photographers, curated by Michael Bühler-Rose, is a natural starting point, since it uses projectors pointed at opposite walls to place the viewer directly between two photographer’s sightlines, forcing one to confront what Benton sees as the inevitable tension between photographer and subject in an ingenious bit of meta-photography….

AM New York write a nice review about my contribution, Charles Benton’s “Opposing Photographers”, to the “Young Curators, New Ideas” show over at the Bond Street Gallery which opened last Wednesday, pictures soon.

I have included the nice words about Benton’s piece below, the rest can be found here :

“The most striking contribution is Michael Buhler-Rose’s presentation of Charles Benton’s “Opposing Photographers.” The installation consists of two slide shows on facing walls, featuring photographers snapping shots of each other. Thus, the roles of photographer and subject are shared by both participants. The viewer is also made part of the action, hearing the click of each slide slotting into place before seeing the image pop up on screen. Further subverting the tenets of the medium, in each portrait, the subject’s face is obscured by their camera. It’s a playful work that fully engulfs the viewer. The installation also benefits from its placement in the basement, giving the work its own environment.”

Neti-Neti (not this, not this) curated by Peter Nagy at Bose Pacia (508 W. 26th St., 11C, NY,NY ) closes soon, August 16th.

The blog has been MIA for about a year. I will mainly be using it to put updates as to what I have been working on etc.

Some of “exotic” work was in Paris Photo and Art Verona with Brancolini-Grimaldi this fall.

I will be teaching at RISD a course on making photobooks this spring.

Thus I will be wandering up and down the east coast as I prepare and hang my MFA thesis in Florida this March and teach every tuesday in Providence.

I will be updating new projects by the end of the week as I finish a few things up I started in the past few months.

The past few weeks have been filled with travel and no sleep. I hope to refill my blogerly duties shortly. For now I will link to a new article that was featured in the current issue of American Photo on Campus. Along with the article is a shmorgesborg of images of mine as well.

Posts have been sparse as of late. Most of my time has been spent shooting, reshooting and printing for a few shows.
