Curatorial context
Foam proudly presents '43-35 10th Street,' an exhibition of work by Daniel Shea, the selected winner of the Foam Paul Huf Award 2018. Shea's photography creates a seductive yet disconcerting world of concrete, steel, and glass, navigating the complex lines between fact and fiction. His cityscapes are poetic and timeless, yet they critically examine the tangible effects of capitalism on urban environments and society at large. The title of the featured project, '43-35 10th Street,' refers to Shea's studio address in a rapidly gentrifying New York City neighborhood, but his constructed wastelands resonate globally, as Shea layers photographs from different times and places to address universal urban developments.
Shea's conviction that the built environment deeply influences society, and vice versa, also shapes his artistic practice. He frequently allows his compositions to extend beyond the frame or etches architectural blueprints directly onto the glass of the artwork's casing. These material choices imbue his work with a sculptural quality, emphasizing the incongruity between idealized utopian visions and often dystopian realities. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the profound connection between architecture, society, and the human experience within evolving urban contexts.
