Andreas Melas Projects / Helena Papadopoulos, Athens / Berlin

Andreas Melas Projects and Helena Papadopoulos are very pleased to present new photographic work by Michele Abeles.

Abeles’s work is concerned not simply with the male form but also with the conventions and possibilities of the still life and the photographic medium. Within the confines of her studio, Abeles has developed an inscrutable, yet strangely recognizable vocabulary of studio props -potted plants, empty wine bottles, decontextualized letters and numbers-often coexisting with elaborate arrangements of Plexiglas and colored gels that generate the illusion of Photoshop intervention, despite the fact that her images are created entirely in-camera. As a result, the photographs appear to waffle ambiguously between a loving, ironic engagement with tired tropes and low-tech trickery of studio photography’s past, and an interest in the rabid ecleticism and psychotropic visuality of our digital present.
-Chris Wiley, excerpt from Critic’s Picks, Artforum, May 2011

Michele Abeles lives and works in New York. Recent exhibitions include Skin So Soft, curated by Josh Kline, Gresham’s Ghost, New York, Vide-Poche, curated by Fionn Meade, SculptureCenter, New York, New Jersey MoCA, Asbury Park, White Columns, New York, as well as in Greater New York 2010 at MoMA PS1. She received an MFA in photography from Yale University (2007) and a Rema Hort Mann Visual Arts grant (2010).
