Sandy Kim and Logan White

October 1st – 29th, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, October 1st, 7 – 10pm
Space 1026
1026 Arch St. 2nd Floor
Philadelphia, PA 19107

Space 1026 is proud to present new works by Sandy Kim and Logan White. With cameras constantly on hand, both young photographers document their daily lives through the increasingly archaic medium of 35 millimeter film. Showing together in Philadelphia for the first time, we welcome you to join us for an opening reception on Friday, October 1st from 7 – 10 pm, featuring the record selections of
DJ Maggie Lee and a special live musical performance by Tough Knuckles.

Sandy Kim utilizes a highly self-referential style of photography which peers into the tiny microcosm of one woman’s life. Reminiscent of the casual documentary style popularized by Nan Goldin in the ’80s, the photographs in Sandy Kim highlight her life at one particular moment and the people who are revolving in and around it. Her work was recently collected in a new, self-titled monograph published by Unpiano Books.
