Life and Debt
Pratt Photography Gallery, Brooklyn, NY — 2024
“The vividness of lived experience seems to be a guiding force behind the majority of the work in this exhibition. We see each artist learning to love, understand, perceive, scrutinize, celebrate, critique, and embody this experience we call life. It’s a noble way of approaching an art practice, and a gift to an audience who comes away with nearly two dozen ways to understand how life means.
But what about the debt? Are we talking about student loans here? Or is it a deeper debt? The debt that is owed to repay that life-saving conversation in the hallway, the text thread in the middle of the night, the help that came just when it was needed. These are the experiences that turned a group of students into a community. Surely there are countless other gestures of love and grace that buoy the work in this room. You can’t see them but you know they are there. Like light particles forming on a piece of paper they are the invisible reactions that have made everything possible. And when you remember them you’ll gasp, just like you did the first time you saw an image appear in the developer tray. “

Among the Strange Overgrowth
Pratt Photography Gallery, Brooklyn, NY — 2023
‘Among the Strange Overgrowth’ engages in themes of time in relation to each artist’s understanding of home and how each moves forward from domestic complexities of their respective pasts. Artists explored themes of escapism, nature, abstraction, and world-building. The exhibition featured Gutoskey’s series Scenes of Dissonance.
When designing his images, Gutoskey was largely impacted by the feeling of a loss of ground. He sought to mimic that oscillation between familiar and abstract in the hang of the work. The images were displayed in varying sizes, mainly printed and screwed directly through the print into the wall, while others were encased by hardened, sandy forms with two functioning as hanging light boxes.
