For the past 40 years the
photographer Seiichi Furuya has taken photos of the world around him. Though primarily known for those he took of his wife, Christine, he has also shot photographs of political demonstrations, children, refugees, and a multitude of banal scenes that one would have been exposed to living mostly in East Berlin and Graz, Austria, since the 1970鈥檚. From these photos, Furuya has made groupings to be presented in exhibitions and books that reflect how he has felt about given periods from the distance of when the selections were made. This act of grouping can be seen as a carving of the totality of his images into a form. The other two artists鈥 work shown here also deals with selection, albeit with different results. Yuji
Agematsu, in his culling of objects off the streets of New York from the infinite possibilities presented there for him and
Jean-Luc Moul猫ne through the removal of material to create form. Though different in their tools and mediums, each artist displays their selected results here 鈥 chosen images, claimed remnants and remaining matter.
