LAB

2013 - Photography (Photography)

Kori Newkirk

year born: 1970
gender: male
nationality: American

LAB (2013) conjures the body as the trace of a sooty hand appears, spectrally, on a crumpled paper towel. His photograph of this throwaway object calls back the body, and the handprint is in fact his own right hand; thus the piece can function as a self-portrait of the artist, in an ironic twist on the art historical genre.


Kori Newkirk received his MFA from the University of California at Irvine, and is a visual artist working in mixed media and installation. Capturing imprints, fragments, fluids, or single parts, Newkirk manifests an interest in the traces of his own presence and existence. His photographs are often exhibited as components of installations, existing in conversation with his sculptures.
