Eric (Myspace) ©Josh Quigley, 2010 Michael Mazzeo Gallery is pleased to present A Shameless Longing, an exhibition of large-scale color photographs by American photographer, Josh Quigley. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in New York City. The work will be on view from November 18 through December 23. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, November 18, from 6PM to 8PM.
Working within the confines of the contemporary domestic interior, Quigley carefully orchestrates curious scenarios involving lovers, friends, and families in which moments of intimacy and sexuality are presented with a provocative balance of truth and fiction. Quigley’s subjects (family members, including himself, and strangers found on social networking sites) become characters on stage, reenacting seemingly commonplace moments resulting in suggestive and unexpected performances.
Trained as filmmaker, Quigley’s directorial approach to photography and his adept use of light provides us with a voyeuristic window onto typically private encounters. With a sense of wonder and amusement, he invites us to enjoy these scenes through the filters of our own experiences and perceptions.
Josh Quigley studied cinema at Ohio State University and Northern Michigan University and received an MFA in Photography from The Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2008.
