Joseph Maida GA '95 Photographs Opening at Daniel Cooney Fine Art, NYC

Joseph Maida

New Natives

September 12 - November 2, 2013

Opening Reception: September 12, 6-8pm

This is the first solo show by New York based artist, Joseph Maida, GA '95. The exhibition includes 14 large-scale color photographs and one single-channel video. Below notes excerpted from a press release on the exhibition.

The subjects of New Natives are aspiring male models of mixed ethnicity and race from Hawaii, whom Maida scouts through social media and photographs in their local landscape. Drawing from Hawaii’s royal history as well as its Eastern and Western influences, New Natives presents multifaceted visions of masculinity. In addition to a strong emphasis on native Hawaiians, the photographs portray men who are covered in tattoos of Polynesian, Japanese, and contemporary origins who identify as Cherokee, Chinese, English, Filipino, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kenyan, Kiwi, Laotian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Spanish, Thai, and Visayan. These unprecedented photographs expand the face of American manhood by depicting a cross-section of one of the United States’ most diverse and under-represented populations.

Joseph Maida received his B.A. from Columbia University and his M.F.A. from Yale University. He has exhibited in New York at the Queens Museum of Art, the Bronx Museum of Art, Artists Space and Art in General, among others, and internationally at institutions including the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, the Kunsthalle Wien, and the Nikon Salons (Tokyo and Osaka). His work has received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission and the Joan Mitchell Foundation. For the last decade, Maida has also been an influential teacher with appointments at Yale University, the School of Visual Arts, SUNY Purchase, and Parsons, the New School for Design.
