[edit] Life and work
Gordon is best known for producing large color photographs that operate somewhere between collage and set-up photography. His work, as described by the New York Times, “Involves creating figurative tableaus from cut paper and cut-out images that Mr. Gordon then photographs. In addition, he seems motivated by a deeply felt obsession with the human body and the discomforts of having one.”[1]
He has exhibited his work in solo exhibitions at Zach Feuer Gallery[2] and Leo Koenig, Inc., Projekte[3] in New York City and Claudia Groeflin Gallery in Zürich, Switzerland.[4] Gordon has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art,[5] the Center for Curatorial Studies and Art in Contemporary Culture at Bard College, Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois, and this year he was included in MoMA PS1's Greater New York. He is the author of Portrait Studio (onestar press, 2009)[6] and Flying Pictures (powerHouse books, 2009).[7] His work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art,[8] New York. Gordon was a guest lecturer at Sarah Lawrence College in 2009.
