Stephen Waddell follows the man in the city he inhabits and records his behavior and environment - he is drawn to the evocative power of abandoned things and places in transition.   

Serge Najjar is a Lebanese photographer born in Beyrouth Lebanon in 1973. He is a Doctor in Law, graduated from the University Panthéon-Assas in Paris. He is an autodidact who started publishing his photographs on Instagram in 2011 (@serjios) and became an overnight success.
Serge Najjar’s photographs place the viewer in a liminal world. An urban hunt led by the real, meticulously framed, they capture the passing of time over a space where the transient disposition of man would inhabit ideal and radical constructions.

Taryn Simon assumes the dual role of shrewd informant and collector of curiosities, compiling an inventory of what lies hidden and out-of-view within the borders of the United States. She examines a culture through careful documentation of diverse subjects from the realms of science, government, medicine, entertainment, nature, security, and religion.   

Rania Matar is a Guggenheim 2018 Fellow. She was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1984. As a Lebanese-born American woman and mother, Matar's cultural background, cross-cultural experience, and personal narrative inform her photography. Matar's work has been widely published and exhibited in museums worldwide, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Carnegie Museum of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and more. A mid-career retrospective of her work was recently on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.
Rania Matar dedicated her work to explore issues of personal and collective identity. A new project about “connecting across barriers” emerges to connect the viewer to the subject’s experiences during these unprecedented times.

Urs Lüthi’s work redirects us to the inner-self. It depicts a fragmented search for a beautiful life and reveals images that express individuality, exhibitionism, euphoria, and freedom.   

Jeremy Blake (October 4, 1971 – July 17, 2007) was an American digital artist and painter. Blake has exhibited extensively in museums and galleries worldwide, and his works are in numerous public collections including the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos, Spain; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven. In 2002 he was invited by director Paul Thomas Anderson to create abstract sequences of art for the film, Punch-Drunk Love. He also produced a series of album covers and inserts for Beckʼs CD, Sea Change.
Jeremy Blake is recognized as an innovative pioneer. The hallucinatory transmutations in his opulent DVDs unfold in seamless and dream-like loops that preclude a beginning or end. He often employs socially relevant subject matter, as well as art historical references, as a kind of psychological framework to create visual containers for contemporary anxieties and discarded utopian ideals.
