About the Artist

Roe Ethridge (b. 1969) works in both editorial and fine art photography. Drawing upon the descriptive power of photography and the ease with which it can be accessed, duplicated, and recombined, Ethridge orchestrates visual fugues inspired by images in media culture and effectively reanimates that culture by reinserting his work within it. Ethridge’s work both copies and inspires copyists as part of a common and constantly evolving visual discourse.

Ethridge’s work has been shown extensively in venues around the world, including MOMA/PS1 (2000); Barbican Center, London (2001); Carnegie Museum of Art (2002); Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2005); The Whitney Biennial (2008); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2010); and Les Rencontres d’Arles, France (2011). He has had solo exhibitions at the Garage, Moscow (2011) and Le Consortium, Dijon, France (2013). In 2011 he was a finalist for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.

FotoFocus collaborates—locally, nationally, and internationally—to present and support photography and lens-based projects that are accessible, enriching, and engaging to a diverse public. FotoFocus inspires conversations about the world through the art of photography and film, via its partnerships and signature programming including the FotoFocus Biennial, FotoFocus Symposium, FotoFocus Talks Series, and Film and Video programming.

The Lens is the FotoFocus editorial platform, highlighting our programming and featuring in-depth conversations on photography and the moving image drawn from perspectives and insights in our community, throughout our region, and around the globe.
