| 前言：“纽约学派”通常是指二战期间和之后推动当代艺术发展的艺术家们，他们大多居住在纽约及周边。当时，前卫艺术的领导权从饱受战争蹂躏的欧洲转向纽约。自此，纽约一直处于世界艺术领域的领先地位。同时，纽约也在艺术和摄影教育领域占据重要地位。
本次“纽约学派”是一个以美国艺术家以及师生的摄影作品为主的邀请展。作品内容鼓舞人心，形式多种多样，体现了纽约摄影教育的前瞻性，吸引更多人前往纽约进修。从审美角度来说，作品呈现了摄影题材的宽泛性，从抽象摄影到人像摄影，从合成摄影到如实摄影，它所强调的是摄影的宽度和广度。
"The New York School(s)" commonly refers to those artists who participated in the development of contemporary art in or around New York City during and after World War II when leadership in avant-garde art shifted from war-torn Europe to New York. New York has maintained a dominant position in the art world ever since. New York also has developed a foremost position in the world of art and photographic education. “The New York School(s)," is an invitational exhibition featuring the work of artist/teachers in the U.S. and their students. The work is both exciting and varied and represents well the opportunities for the advanced study of photography in New York. Aesthetically, the work represents a wide range of photographic possibilities, from abstraction to portraiture, manipulated to straight. It highlights the width and breadth of the photographic practice today.

1. 康奈尔大学CORNELL UNIVERSITY
摄影者：杰瑞 波驰菲尔德（Jerry Birchfield）
作品名称：无名摄影棚—静物 （Untitled Studio Still Life）
作品简介:
杰瑞波驰菲尔德把作品建立在摄影的抽象与具象这种不稳定的关系上。作品中感知的不稳定因素使人们意识到摄影的内涵。它既非形象化，也非物质化，而是由众多因素决定的。包括形象，平面，空间，拍摄物，方法，作品叙述，以及极具创造性的感知力。这些元素间的碰撞凸显了从一点到另一点，从一个想法到另一个想法之间的转换——在此过程中原先的理解被质疑，被重申，被改变。
Jerry Birchfield’s practice is rooted in a concern with the unstable relationship between the pictorial and the material conditions of photography. Perceptually destabilized occurrences within his work help to acknowledge the terms by which the photographs operate. These unstable or conflicting elements emphasize that the photographs are not singularly pictorial nor material, but contingent on multiple components. All aspects of the photograph including the pictorial, planar, spatial, material, process, production narrative, and perception are pointed to as having the potential to produce meaning. Conflicts between these components highlight the interval in a shift from one point to another, between one determination and the next - in which understanding is questioned then reaffirmed or changed.
2.纽约时装学院FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - (FIT)
摄影者：贝丝 辛克（Beth Zink）
作品名称：美国人（All American）
作品简介：
现实和虚构之间的界限越来越模糊。对爱情的坚定很快变得模棱两可，人们不由得思考是否经历过真正的爱情，还是自己的幻想，到底哪一个才是对的？
拍照的热情，冒险以及夜晚满足的喜悦，有苦有甜。有时，我们也很困惑，任凭内心深处的幻觉恣意发展，对各种未知的事物充满恐惧。
There is a thin line between fact and fiction, which constantly blurs. The absolute certainty of love can quickly dissolve into ambiguity, leaving a person to question if they experienced true love or just a built-up fantasy. Which is true?Snapshot passions, adventures, night's mild satisfactions. Difficult problems with dangerous beauty. Without feeling sure, we sometimes let our deep growing illusion develop. We fear potential.
3. 长岛大学波斯特分校 LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY (LIU), C.W. POST
摄影者：杰 金恩（Jie Geng）
作品名称：这不是我（It Is Not Me）
作品简介：
我们每个人内心，都有不为人知的一面。它们虽然是想象的产物，但我们仍可感觉到它们的存在。
There are a lot of personalities inside us that we don’t really show in ordinary life. They are a kind of imaginary, but we feel them.
4. 纽约大学NEW YORK UNIVERSITY (NYU)
摄影者：马克 詹金森（Mark Jenkinson）
作品名称：红色飞行物（Red Flyer）
作品简介：
众所周知，摄影师拍摄他们所看见的东西，但我们不曾了解的是，为了拍摄某些东西，摄影师们经常周游世界，寻找未曾见过的，新鲜的，奇异的景观。我们通过拍摄名人，战争，政客，精彩瞬间，阳光和地平线来开拓事业。凭借坚定的意志和细致的观察，我们开创了属于我们自己的专业图像。
It’s obvious that photographers take pictures of what they see, but what isn’t always obvious are the lengths we go to in order to see certain things, often traveling the world in search of the unseen, the new, and the exotic. We forge our careers chasing celebrities, wars, politicians, moments, light, and horizons. We create our professional iconographies as much by force of will as by careful observation.
5. 帕森斯设计学院PARSONS THE NEW SCHOOL FOR DESIGN (PARSONS)
摄影者：马克 菲顿（Mark Fitton）
作品名称：肖像画（Portrait）
作品简介：
马克菲顿的作品以其朋友和家人在他构造的怪异场景中拍照为主。摄影作品具有一定的动态性，因为他捕捉到的是一个手势或一种表情，但其意义超脱事物本身。他的多数作品受到电影摄影的激发，采用戏剧性灯光设置，使其充满一种恐惧感，并且对摄影主题进行精确定位。菲顿让参观者根据其作品的细枝末节对这些静态画面尽情发挥想象。
Mark Fitton’s work focuses on portraits of close friends and family placed into strange scenarios devised by the artist himself. The photographs of his subjects are very performative as he captures a gesture or expression that suggests a greater narrative beyond the constraints of the frame. Much of his work is inspired by cinematography, with use of dramatic, almost menacing, forms of lighting and precise placement of his subjects in these film still like images. Fitton gives his viewers the freedom to create a narrative around the subjects in his still scenes based on the clues and small details he reveals in his photographs.

作品简介：
该系列作品包括内心世界，人像，静物和风景，但体裁本身的区分又有很多疑问。它将普通事物转变成奇特古怪而又令人毛骨悚然的半抽象艺术作品，影射身体和家庭生活。作者对探究人物内心放逐以及那种深刻的、一半救赎，一半解放的美很感兴趣。由于描绘对象的起源和文化去向往往不明确，摄影师只能构建一个定格的地方感来挑战文化认同。虽然拍摄工作跨越了大半个世界，涉及各大洲，但这组作品本质上记录了一个地区一类人。
The series includes interiors, portraits, still lives, and landscapes, yet questions the genre distinctions themselves. Alluding to the body and domesticity, the photographs transform the ordinary objects into strangely eerie and psychologically fraught semi-abstract compositions. I am interested in exploring one's inner personal exile and profound beauty as redemptive and liberating. Because of the origin and cultural whereabouts of the portrayed subjects is often unclear, the photographs create a suspended sense of place and challenge the very definition of cultural identity. Although photographed on different continents this work is in essence a record of a place and people albeit physically spread over half the world.
7. 罗彻斯特理工学院ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (RIT)
摄影者：格里芬﹒摩斯伦(Griffin Moores)
作品名称：密歇根弗林特的杀人犯（Flint, Michigan Homicide）
作品简介：
通过摄影，我能够探索周围的世界，捕捉人们生活精彩瞬间，目睹人们的喜怒哀乐。摄影使我理解周围所发生的一切，并与未曾经历的人们共同分享。
Photography is a way that I have been able to explore the world around me and capture moments from the lives of people in my community. In doing so I have witnessed a wide range emotions from sadness and anger to love and joy. Taking pictures helps me make sense of what is happening around me and then to share those experiences with people who wouldn't have otherwise been able to see them.

作品名称：无题（选自20个发光体系列中第1,3,6号作品）
作品简介：
该作品选自系列《20个发光体》，将这些发光体置于各自的宇宙空间中，探索这些比人类还大的物体所产生的影响以及发生的变化。这些发光体已经脱离原有功效，成为艺术的雕塑品。
From the series 20 Shiny Objects, these images explore the impact and change of enlarging objects far beyond life size, allowing the objects take on different contexts within the space they occupy. The bullets become sculptural objects, removed from their intended purpose.
