Ryan McGinley Irregular Regulars 04 January through 10 February 2007 Team Gallery, 83 Grand Street, betw Wooster & Green, 6-8 Team is pleased to present a show of new photographs by Ryan McGinley. Entitled Irregular Regulars, the exhibition will run from the 4th of January through the 10th of February 2007. The gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, cross streets Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor. Ryan McGinley has been following Morrissey's tours for the past two years capturing the reclusive singer and his committed fans all over the US, the UK, and in Mexico. Although he has been an intensely devoted fan of the musician for most of his young life, McGinley has gained a distance on his subject through a total immersion. Having photographed quite literally hundreds of shows, McGinley becomes, in a sense, accustomed to the patterns of Morrissey's performances and can ''predict'' the response of fans for whom the singer's appearances form a major life anchor. McGinley is both immersed in the event (physically and psychologically) and, at the same time, so ''experienced'' a viewer that he can comment from outside. In McGinley's Morrissey photographs, the lighting and coloration is, in large part, the result of the lighting palette chosen by the singer. Pinks, oranges, lurid blues and bright yellows all bathe the audience members during particular tunes and these colors in turn inspire McGinley to look for specific types of audience members. Not surprisingly, most of subjects who end up in his pictures are both completely enraptured by Morrissey's antics while possessing an intrinsic beauty that viewers of McGinley's works will find spellbinding. It is hard to take your eyes off these gorgeous kids who, in turn, are so completely awestruck by their idol. At 29, McGinley's work is currently included in Americans: Masterpieces of American Photography since 1945 at the Kunsthalle Wien. He was the youngest artist to ever have a monographic exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art. Solo shows followed at New York's PS1 and in Spain at the MUSAC. --- Ryan McGinley article link at Team Gallery (3 photos)

"In McGinley's Morrissey photographs, the lighting and coloration is, in large part, the result of the lighting palette chosen by the singer."
Translation: Being a photographer is really easy. Like DJ-ing, but even better if you're too dumb to remember song titles.

Translation (sarcastic paraphrase, really): There are, like, serious aesthetic reasons why McGinley and other scenester imbeciles only take pictures of gorgeous kids! It has to do with, like, the color spectrum and shit!
"He was the youngest artist to ever have a monographic exhibition at The Whitney Museum of American Art."
He sucked Larry Clark's dick, rimmed Terry Richardson, and hypnotized legions of New York fag hags with his Clay Aiken looks and his vacant gaze.
The real question: can he make Winnie Wong look less like a bean bag chair with two knife slashes for eyes?

His work stands for beauty, sometime wilde or peculiar, but always true.
I remember meeting him several times during the Quarry Tour. He was already taking shots for this project.
As a fan of his and as a collector, I've been impatiently waiting since then to see this body of work to be published or exhibited.
Ciao Ryan, bravo!

Julia Riley could write the introduction...
I, for one, would buy it straightaway on hardback, instead of being the cheap dude waiting for the less expensive paperback version six months later!
