​Nick Albertson: Single Use
01.31.2014 - 03.07.2014
​

Aspect/Ratio Projects is pleased to present Single Use Nick Albertson’s first solo show.

With Single Use Nick Albertson continues his exploration of everyday household items. Using photography and videos, Albertson repurpose utilitarian obejects. The latest body of work eschews color as Albertson reworks the mundane and mass-produced into stark taubleaus of film noir. Comedy ensues in a video of balck and white dancing plates.

Drawing inspiration from the readymade and found object tradition, Albertson's imagery strips homely items such as cone paper cups and Styrofoam plates, of their intended functions, so that their ordinariness fades and it's replaced with intrigue.

Nick Albertson (b. 1983, Boston) received his MFA in Photography at Columbia College Chicago after completing his BFA in Photography at Bard College. His work has been exhibited in Chicago, Portland, Seattle, New York and internationally.
