"Dreamboats Collective": Four Emerging Photographers At DUMBO's Umbrage Gallery

oo


I just got an invite to an opening at DUMBO's Umbrage Gallery, which features the work of the four emerging photographers who make up the "Dreamboats Collective". I hope I'll be able to catch the show. Hope you will too. Below is some information:


Umbrage Editions presents the work of Dreamboats Collective, a new agency specializing in fine art and editorial from four young photographers—Adam Golfer, Joe Leavenworth, TJ Proechel, and Daniel Shea—who founded and direct the collective collaboratively.

As a group, Dreamboats adds to the growing disambiguation between working personally and working editorially. Members of the collective, who met at Maryland Institute College of Art, are primarily engaged in contemporary fine art and social documentary practices, but their professed intention is to circumvent the traditional photographic establishment to create a self-sustaining network of distribution and support for the creation of new photographic works. The works selected for the exhibition are from each artist’s recent body of work: Adam Golfer’s series, Kin*, Joe Leavenworth’s Pictures from Home, TJ Proechel’s Dream House, and Daniel Shea’s Untitled (Baltimore).

The exhibition will be on view from November 5th through December 22nd, Monday through Saturday 11–6 pm, and, as a special holiday feature, each artist will make available a limited edition 8”x10” and 11”x14” affordable print series (ranging from $35 to $200) for sale at the gallery.

Umbrage Gallery is at 111 Front Street, Suite # 280, DUMBO, Brooklyn
