Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Chad States (born 1975) is an American photographer and artist, living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] His photographic series include Cruising[2] and Masculinities.[3]
Early life and education
States was born in Edmonds, Washington. He holds a BA from Evergreen State College and an MFA from Tyler School of Art and Architecture.[4]
Life and work
States lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[1] where he is a member of the Vox Populi artist collective.[5] In 2009 we was an artist-in-residence at Light Work in Syracuse, New York.[1]
States is a gay man. His work is concerned with questions of masculinity and vulnerability, specifically pursued in a landscape of queer sex and desire.[6]
Cruising (2011) is a book of photographs of men cruising for sex outdoors in parks.[7] "The subjects are anonymous, often appearing only partially, obscured by vegetation or shadows",[8] and only a small part of the picture among the lush forestry of their surroundings.[2] Having initially worked solely with photography, since 2012/13 States has also worked with other mediums.[6]
For his Masculinities series, States placed an ad on Craigslist seeking anyone who identified as being masculine. His subjects were mostly cisgendered men, but also included a few trans men, and women. He "met the subjects at their homes, where he photographed them in poses and scenarios they themselves dictated." The "variety proves how impossible it is to fit masculinity into one box or to define it simply. Each person States photographs crafts their own idea of masculinity".[9][10] Accompanying each portrait is a quote describing what it means to them to be manly.[3]
States has said:
"I'm a big fan of [Katy Grannan]. Her work feels very cruel and very tender at the same time and I love that idea of exploitation, of power dynamics. It makes the images exciting. I try to make work that creates a discussion about exploitation. I find the idea of, "How much am I exploiting the subject here?" very interesting."[11]
