The JKC Gallery is excited to announce PRIMARY EXPOSURE, a group exhibition exploring the complex photographic relationship between fathers and their children. The exhibition is on view from October 7th through November 10th and features an engaging selection of photographs from photographers Habiyb Shu’Aib, Dennis Santella, Yoav Horesh, Jesse Lenz, Claudio Nolasco, Mark Steinmetz, and Michael Chovan-Dalton. These intimate family moments, made into photographic works offer profound insight into the artistic thought processes of these photographers, providing rare access to quiet, private, contemplative moments that don’t often appear in their work, books or exhibitions.
Are they capturing their experience as fathers, the way fatherhood has shifted their world? Or are they photographing their children’s world—or perhaps even their own childhoods reflected back at them? In truth, they are capturing all of it, seeing, feeling, and understanding it all with greater depth, now that they are fathers.
