I am interested in notions of liminality and our place in the world. My work addresses the physical implications of materials and a questioning of human interactions within shifting boundaries and borders. Most of this work is represented via photographic thinking and means. I consistently return to concepts regarding time, elemental nature, human survival, travel, perception studies and amateur science experiments. Most of my work is represented via photographic means and materials and the photographic process itself is integral to his conceptualizations. This is exemplified by the "Castings" series where the split-second of a shot photograph is returned as a print to the place it was captured to then sit outside for an entire season and be "imprinted" by the very nature it depicts. The work embraces notions of time and ethereality via multiple points of contact. Born in Chicago in 1970, Doug Fogelson studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College. He has been recognized by many publications including Art News, Photo District News, Art Forum, and AfterImage. Fogelson's work is displayed in notable public and private collections and with esteemed galleries. Occasionally his art is interjected into non-formal public spaces via billboards or as posters and the like. |
