Jules Maeght Gallery is hosting an exhibition titled “Compose Decompose Recompose” at their San Francisco location.“Compose Decompose Recompose” is an exhibition of photography curated by Luc Sokolsky that draws on the manipulation by the artist’s hand and mind rather than the technical aspects of the camera. Exploring the diverse possibilities of collage, bacteria, artificial lighting, sensor tampering and more, the exhibition brings together the work of Dean Bentley, Glen Cheriton, Wolfgang Ganter, Cait Molloy, and Jackson Patterson. For these five artists, photography is a method rather than a medium, a tool used to capture an imagined or created image, rather than one that is solely seen. "Compose Decompose Recompose" is the distillation of photographic process. The work of each artist begins with an idea or a story. A precise and methodical process follows which enables singular images to capture these greater themes or narratives. From conception to manipulation to the pertinent act of printing, each artist has honed their craft to make the camera merely a tool in an intricate process of image-making, functioning as a time machine to relive the past, ponder the future, or question what is fiction or reality.Amélie and Jules Maeght attempt to bring together artists from Europe and America in order to create an idiosyncratic aesthetics alluding to the latest trends in art and culture. The exhibition “Compose Decompose Recompose” bears testimony to the fact as it brings together the deconstructive art of Dean Bentley alongside the reimagination of contemporary world by Glen Cheriton and Wolfgang Ganter’s experiment with decomposition art.The exhibition is on view through July 29, 2017 at 149 Gough Street, San Francisco, California, CA 94102, USA.For details, visit: https://julesmaeghtgallery.com/ Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
