“Exhibition catalogue New York Photo Festival 2010, curated by Erik Kessels. Catalogue designed by Angela Lidderdale.
Use me Abuse me looks at the trend toward exploring new technology within an image-rich culture. The exhibition focused on how today’s dominance of images and image-making technology influences artists and photographers.
Now more than ever before photographs are easy to come by, easy to make and easy to distribute. Anyone, it seems, has the freedom to do pretty much anything. This glut sees photographers experimenting with pre-existing images and using them within their work like never before.”
