July 21 - August 20, 2011 Juror Whitney Johnson, Director of Photography at The New Yorker, selected work by ten contemporary photographers from across North America to comprise the sixteenth iteration of the PRC’s highly regarded annual juried exhibition. She made her selection from an original pool of 170 submissions. The artists featured in EXPOSURE 2011 take a strong interest in the human condition. Probing portraits, vibrant social interactions, historically-inflected landscapes, and provocative situations are all present in Johnson’s selections. The placement of each project encourages the viewer to find connections between the artists’ subjects. Although the show encompasses wildly different stylistic approaches, each project flirts with documentary photography, shedding light on the human experience in unique ways. However, the photographers seem more intent on introspection, discovery, and questioning than pointing out conditions in need of change. The photographers, and the name of the project submitted, are as follows: >> Steven Beckly Single Rooms Honorable Mention Nominees and Winners Yusuke Suzuki- to be featured in NEO, November 2011
