This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City.
Joseph Desler Costa is an American/Italian artist who works in photography, video and new media. Costa’s practice explores ideas of consumerism, pop culture, nostalgia and desire. His works often use the language of commercial imagery to examine the aesthetics of material culture, notions of luxury, and the ways in which perceptions of reality bend under the forces of commerce. Employing multiple exposures, re-photography, cut paper constructions, as well as die-cut layered prints, Costa produces photographs and films that appear almost entirely machine-made; revealing, questioning, and embracing illusions of transcendence and transformation offered by mass production and consumerism.
Costa’s photographic works are held in numerous permanent collections, including the Leonard Lauder Collection, New York City; the Cleveland Clinic Art Collection, Cleveland, Ohio; the BNY Mellon Collection, New York City; the Bidwell Collection, New York City; and the collection of the International Center of Photography, New York City; among others. Costa has curated and organized a number of exhibitions, books and zines including group exhibitions at Baxter St. Camera Club of NY and Foley Gallery, New York City. In 2014, Costa founded the imprint "Silent Face Projects."
Costa currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, and is a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts and the International Center of Photography. He holds an MFA from ICP-Bard College, and attended the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) in Cuba.

- Riverside, limited edition photograph, archival ink, signed and numberedBy Julie BlackmonLocated in Sante Fe, NMRiverside, limited edition photograph, archival ink, signed and numbered Reviewing the photographs of Julie Blackmon, critic Leah Ollman of the Los Angeles Times wrote: “Each frame is an absorbing, meticulously orchestrated slice of ethnographic theater … that abounds with tender humor but also shrewdly subtle satire.” Blackmon is a native of Springfield, MO, and her photographs are inspired by her experience of growing up the oldest of nine children—including five sisters—in what she calls “a generic American town in the middle of the U.S.” In college, Blackmon was introduced to the work of artists Sally Mann, Diane Arbus, and Helen Levitt, and she describes herself as “obsessed” with their images. “When my three children were small,” she recalls, “we moved into an old house with a darkroom in the basement. Like any mother, I wanted to take pictures of my kids. But I didn’t want to be just the ‘mother photographer.’ I wanted my work to be more: more penetrating, more artful, more striking, more thoughtful, more a reflection of the times. “Over the next few years, I progressed from making documentary black and white photographs of my life and the lives of my sisters to creating colorful, fictitious images that offered a more fantastical look at everyday life. My work became more conceptual, as I began to realize that I was not obligated to capture “reality” exactly, but that I could work more like a painter or a filmmaker, actively shaping the images I was creating. This realization—that fiction can often capture the truth more memorably than reality—was a major shift in how I saw the world around me, and it transformed my work.” “It’s thrilling to see the most common aspects of everyday life as potential stories or themes for a photograph. It changes how you see things: suddenly, a Starbucks employee on a smoke break, or an outmoded beauty shop catering to an elderly clientele, can spark a memorable image. As Nora...Category
