This retrospective exhibition is a documentation of works
by Richard Kern over the last twenty years. From his early short films
which became recognized as the central works of the movement known as
the Cinema of Transgression and photographs from the 90’s which
feature early stages of his voyeuristic style photography up to present
day recent and new work.
In the early 80’s and 90’s Kern brought a specific form of
art to the public. A bit of a shock is an understatement. Drawing inspiration
from the neighborhood, the Lower East Side in New York, where he still
lives and works.
Kern began with short films because of its immediate audience response.
He later moved to photography full time in the early 90’s. This
however does not stop Kern from occasionally directing films and music
videos for artists including Lydia Lunch, David Wojnarowicz, Karen Finley,
Rita Ackermann and Lucy McKenzie, the novelist Geoff Nicholson, and musicians
such as Sonic Youth, the Butthole Surfers and Marilyn Manson. Richard
sought to both unravel and illuminate the complex and often darker sides
of human nature.
Kern is a photographer, occasional pornographer, and former-filmmaker
and video director - but what remains profound is that he is a portrait
artist first.
Kern has published nine books and is a regular contributor to a variety
of international publications such as Purple, Vice, V Magazine and Italian
GQ as well as in his numerous books and exhibited at The Museum of Modern
Art, The Whitney Museum and in more than 30 solo shows around the world.
