State of the Art: Shoot and Point

Covering nearly a century of work dating back to that of Surrealist Man Ray’s La Priére (featuring the rear of artist Lee Miller, his lover and muse), and right up to Bus Stop, a contemporary LED-inspired piece by MIT-trained engineer-turned-artist Jim Campbell, this is a must for all photography aficionados.
Co-curator Andrew Herdon says of the exhibition, “[It] plays with the notion of “point and shoot” amateur photography, and by twisting the words, denotes a sense of the artists in this exhibition as authors and the viewer as a witness.”
The extraordinary collection includes Yasumasa Moimura’s To My Little Sister, a homage to Cindy Sherman’s recently auctioned $3.8 million untitled portrait (the world’s most expensive photograph). His piece explores cultural and sexual appropriation as he inserts his own portrait into the work.
Despite the often controversial subject matter in the pieces (you’ll discover a Braille edition of Playboy) and the starkly dark early works of the infamous Larry Clark, the overarching theme is the way that photographers have experimented and explored innovative ways to capture events.
If you want to take a piece of photographic history home, you can for anything from $2,500 to a whopping $1,450,000.
Shoot & Point runs through Oct 1 at Ikkan Art Gallery.
