Situation
Over the course of ninety days at the end of 2011, four photographers posted images to a blog in response to words supplied monthly by the architect Deborah Berke. Each photographer also tapped a fellow artist to post photographs in response to one of the words. Berke’s staff weekly printed and pinned up the latest photographs, then added comments on post-it notes.
SITUATION presents new prints of a selection of these photographs from the shared archive created by Joseph Maida, Katie Murray, Victoria Sambunaris, and Dan Torop, and by their respective pinch hitters, Lois Conner, Matt Ducklo, David Deutsch, and Adam Putnam.
In 2013, Deborah Berke Partners published the Situation project in a book designed by MGMT.
