The artist

Born in 1953 in Michigan, USA, James Casebere lives and works in New York. The work produced by this pioneer of staged photography is a poetic commentary on our society, never referring to a clearly identifiable reality. The artist works using models, imaginary and standardised reconstructions of familiar buildings that he painstakingly creates in his studio then uses as the basis for his photographs. His images can have a paradoxical effect, their visual beauty often arousing feelings of discomfort and emptiness.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ITHAKA, USA

From August 24th to September 20th 2014 Scales and Dimensions presents a broad interdisciplinary practice joining art and architecture. Rarely does artist James Casebere reveal the scale models that contribute to the “work,” defined as the photograph. This exhibit is uniquely organized to engage students and faculty in the creative process behind the work. The show reveals the artistry of how modeling is handled in the creation of an image conceptualized from specific vantage points.John Hartell Gallery will feature Casebere’s recent work, mostly from the Landscape with Houses (Dutchess County) series featuring several very large framed photographs and, unusually, a display of the corresponding scale models that were used to create the photographs. Olive Tjaden Gallery will exhibit highlights of other projects, including pieces from his Vaulted Corridor, Tunnel, Hallway, and Spanish Bath series. (…)

THE SLEEPWALKER

Centre d'art La Chapelle Jeanne d'Arc, Thouars

From June 23th to September 2nd 2012 En contrepoint de la création de Marion Tampon-Lajarriette au centre d’art la Chapelle Jeanne d’Arc, la galerie d’exposition
des Ecuries du Château, tout nouvellement réaménagée, présentera une sélection d’oeuvres issues des collections des
Fonds régionaux d’art contemporain Poitou-Charentes et Centre. Ces oeuvres, des photographies et une peinture,
reprennent l’idée d’une métamorphose onirique de la réalité, et, pour certaines, offrent une vision vertigineuse dans l’espace,
autant d’éléments que l’on retrouve dans l’installation de Marion Tampon-Lajarriette. (…)
