I’ll be showing 5 giant, never before seen new prints from this year in the Bering Sea. Come say hello on opening night!

The Caption Gallery in Brooklyn in DUMBO (Brooklyn, NY) will be exhibiting a solo show of Fish-Work during the New York Photography Festival this week. I’m in town and will be in the Gallery from 6:30-8:30 on Thursday, May 14.  The show features work from my March show at Sara Tecchia, some new work and lots of wall text.  Come and say hello! 

A while back my new friend Cody Hudson invited me for a dual solo show in his home base of Chicago.  The time has finally come, and the opening is happening this friday March 27 at Andrew Rafacz Gallery from 5-8pm.  I’ll be strolling around Chi town through Sunday so come by and say hello!

Cody’s work is fantastic. We’ve been circling each other in similar outlets like Fecal Face Dot Com and Juxtapoz and now finally get to spend some quality time in the same gallery.

Press Release:

ANDREW RAFACZ is pleased to announce FISH-WORK, a solo exhibition of photographs by Corey Arnold.

Chicago, IL, March 27, 2009 – ANDREW RAFACZ begins the spring season with FISH-WORK, photographs by Corey Arnold.   The gallery will have a reception for the artist on Friday, March 27th, from 5 to 8pm. The exhibition continues through May 9th.

Documenting his experiences as a commercial fisherman for the last 13 years, Arnold presents the viewer with images rarely seen.   The narrative that Arnold carves out might best be described in the strictest terms as ‘man versus nature,’ but by inserting humor and pathos into the frame, he subverts the fearsome and potentially hazardous scenarios into something more sublime.  In Bering Sea Birthday, one is immediately thrust on to the fishing vessel in the photograph.  The sea is tumultuous, and the violent motion being captured is palpable.  Yet, the main subject is a lone fisherman swinging desperately at a piñata in celebration of his birthday.  His perseverance in the face of the danger around him makes this a moment of extreme and triumphant humanity.

The power of Arnold’s photographs lie in the way the viewer is pulled directly into the action as it unfolds.  Although many of his images capture raw emotion and drama, Arnold is not merely a documentary photographer.  He also creates more conceptual works, such as Kitty and Horse Fisherman, which depicts a single figure wearing a costume horse head and holding a kitten.  The fisherman is nonchalantly posing against the railing of a boat with the ocean roiling behind him, creating a work of contemporary surrealism set in the unlikeliest of places.

COREY ARNOLD (American, b. 1976) lives and works in Portland, but travels extensively.  He has exhibited throughout the United States, Norway, Japan, and France.  He has been featured in
The Paris Review, Juxtapoz, Artweek, and the Italian version of Rolling Stone, among others.  He recently
completed a solo exhibition at Sara Tecchia Roma New York.  This is his first exhibition in Chicago.

If in the NYC area come on out for the opening reception of my first solo NYC exhibition: FISH-WORK. Photos are on display right now at Sara Tecchia Roma New York.  Hope to see you there!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EXHIBITION:

FISH-WORK: Photographs by Corey Arnold

DATES: February 19 – April 4, 2009

RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST: Thursday, February 26, 6-8 pm

Sara Tecchia Roma New York is extremely proud to announce the New York debut exhibition of photographer Corey Arnold. As a college student eager to travel and pay off his college loans, Arnold (b. 1976) soon realized that commercial fishing in Alaska could satisfy his appetite for adventure and financial stability. Over the past 13 years, he has made his living as a salmon fisherman and more recently a crab fisherman in the Bering Sea, a 3-4 month a year job that continues to this day.

Arnold’s images feed off and satisfy our natural voyeurism as the vivid images project the viewer into landscapes the average traveler will never directly experience. In this sense the work follows the legacy of the artists/explorers of the Hudson River School as well as Nineteenth Century photographers William Henry Jackson and Carleton E. Watkins. What sets Arnold’s work apart is the lack of personal distance that objective documentation requires. Arnold by the medium of straightforward film photography depicts his life story and those who are part of it: the daily grind (Opilio Morning), the necessary humor (Shitty Day) and the fearsome beauty (Gulf Crossing) associated with one of the world’s most hazardous professions. Most images are vignettes in which the viewer’s gaze renders she/he participant of the unfolding action: the swaying of the boat, the icy waters filling the deck, the frenzy to secure the prized king crab without suffering injury or harm.

Arnold is an Alaskan crab fisherman animated by a life long artistic project: to depict in a very humble fashion the power of the sea and the moods of those that have made living at sea their professional choice. The tiny men in their orange fishing gear cannot offer resistance to the force and magnitude of the open sea. Thus, one of the central ideas of Romanticism that wants Nature indomitable and unpredictable, as visually expressed by Caspar David Friederich and J.W. Turner, becomes again poignant in the 21st Century. In a post industrial world, Corey Arnold’s photographs function as a strong visual reminder not only of the beauty but also of the undeniable power that Nature holds against mankind.

In 2005, Arnold received an American Scandinavian Foundation grant for his ongoing Norwegian fisherman project. His work has been exhibited across the United States as well as in Norway, Canada, Japan and France. Recent publications include features in The Paris Review, Juxtapoz, Artweek, Italian Rolling Stone, Outside Magazine and an online presentation with National Public Radio. Fish Work will also be featured at Sara Tecchia Roma New York’s booth in the upcoming January 2009 edition of Arte Fiera-Arte First Bologna, Italy.

My Fish-Work exhibition at Charles A.

Press Release:

COREY ARNOLD: FISH-WORK
On view at Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, November 19 – December 20, 2008
Images Capture Moments of Vulnerable Grace and the Fisherman’s Unforgiving Lifestyle
Reception with the Artist: Thursday, December 4, 5:30—8:30pm

Portland, OR—Charles A. Hartman Fine Art is pleased to present Fish-Work by Portland-based artist Corey Arnold. These photographs capture moments from Arnold’s grueling annual retreats to the Bering Sea and arctic Norway. With scenes of boat life so vivid that some shots can induce fear or seasickness, the artist’s perspective also reveals the tender soulfulness of a fisherman’s extended life at sea. His skillful compositions depict the simultaneous bravery, toil, humor and gumption that “fish-work” demands. Yet the series also illuminates the aesthetic sublimity that can only be experienced, ultimately, by those willing to risk their lives where the sea breaks its back. Having survived several seasons afloat these icy and unforgiving waters, we are lucky that Arnold has taken time to document his artistic impressions of this rare lifestyle and extended us a vicarious glimpse.

A graduate of the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Corey Arnold lives and works in Portland, Oregon the nine months of the year that he is not fishing. He has exhibited his work across Canada and the United States, in addition to Norway, Japan and France. Recent publications featuring Arnold’s work include Rolling Stone, Adbusters, Juxtapoz, Giant Robot, Artweek, Outside and National Fisherman. With international attention beginning to gain momentum for this promising young photographer—Fish-Work, on view at Charles A. Hartman Fine Art, November 19 – December 20, 2008—is an opportunity to collect Arnold’s work before the secret is out.

Charles A. Hartman Fine Art presents contemporary and modern art that examines our world through subtle narratives. Since 1996, founder and director Charles A. Hartman has provided collectors with specialized access to fine art that reflects his consistently discerning lens. Creating a platform for both regional and international artists, the gallery advances aesthetics that are agile, historically relevant and uncompromising in quality. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturday, 11AM – 6PM, or by appointment.
