About the Item

Everyone’s Photos Any License (654 of 1,146,034 Full Moons on Flickr, November 2015), 2015 Additional information: Medium: Digital c-prints with attributions and image map Dimensions: 104 x 324 inches Edition 3/3 Penelope Umbrico offers a radical reinterpretation of everyday consumer and vernacular images. Umbrico works “within the virtual world of consumer marketing and social media, traveling through the relentless flow of seductive images, objects, and information that surrounds us, searching for decisive moments—but in these worlds, decisive moments are cultural absurdities.” Umbrico finds these moments in the pages of consumer product mail-order catalogs, travel and leisure brochures; and websites like Craigslist, EBay, and Flickr. Identifying image typologies—candy-colored horizons and sunsets, books used as props—brings the farcical, surreal nature of consumerism to new light. As Umbrico stated about this work: “In Everyone’s Photos Any License (546 of 1,146,034 Full Moons on Flickr, November 2015) I use the photo-sharing website Flickr to explore how the full moon is photographed and shared through various imaging technologies. Flickr was a resource for Suns from Sunsets from Flickr (2006-ongoing), but in contrast to that project, which addresses the ubiquity of sunset photographs on Flickr, Everyone’s Photos Any License, looks at a purportedly more rarified photographic practice: taking a clear photograph of the full moon requires specialized photographic equipment (a smart-phone won’t do). However, there are over a million nearly identical, technically proficient images of the full moon on Flickr. The irony of this compelled me to focus on those with the ‘All Rights Reserved’ license, seeking permission from 546 photographers to use their photographs in my installation, and offering a portion of my compensation upon sale of the installation.” Penelope Umbrico (born in Philadelphia, 1957) graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, and received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. She has participated extensively in solo and group exhibitions, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. Umbrico is core faculty in the School of Visual Arts MFA Photography, Video, and Related Media Program. Selected public collections include the Guggenheim Museum (NY), International Center of Photography (NY), McNay Museum of Art (TX), Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY), Museum of Contemporary Photography (IL), Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (CA), Museum of Modern Art (NY), and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), among others. She lives in New York City.
