Description
Hamburger Eyes Photo Epicenter is pleased to announce the opening of The Young Jerks on September 11, 2008, a show of new photographs and images from seven rising artists. The title refers to members of the loosely related artistic and social group represented in this show. Their links to each other extend across America through a web of couch surfing, cross country journeys and internet coincidences. The work exhibited in The Young Jerks is a product of lifestyle artists, or artist's lifestyles- depending on whether the chicken or the egg came first. Their art is a product of the social relationships they have, and many of the relationships they have are the result of an awareness of each others art. Each of the Young Jerks work examines the cast of characters around them. Art and friendship, negatives and top 8's, prints and text messages are two stilts holding each other up. Without art the bonds that tie these social groups together wouldn't be.
