Well, aside from gaining the attention of Miss Jen Bekman, the trio are all participants in an online group exhibition entitled, The Un-Natural Nature of Food. The show was curated by Melanie McWhorter from the photography zine, Fraction. Scroll through the show here, but be forewarned, some images are, as the title might suggest, distressing.
From the curator's statement:
This exhibition is an extension of a personal exploration of my own relationship with food and, intentionally or not, is a political statement about the current relationship our society has to food -- where it is produced, how it is produced, who produces it and with what. I have grouped these images to create an aesthetic flow leading from comfortable to uncomfortable, practical to ridiculous, natural to artificial, knowledge to ignorance. It is in contrast to many of the aspects of pre-production and post-production. Here I am interested in food as an aesthetic, a commodity.
All of the photographers also have limited prints available on 20x200. Colleen's prints Amish Horses, Field Museum Sue, and Tiger Rug, Cabrini Green, are dwindling as we speak, as are Kevin's prints, Jones Boulevard Location, #1 and Highway 94 Location, #1. Brian's edition print, Untitled, Thrift 2006 (0635), is now sold out.
