Huh?

Author:

Diane Smyth

That Jonnie Craig's a bright young thing. Born in 1988, he's already publishing images in Vice magazine, published a monograph, had a solo show at Claire De Rouen books (among others) and shot ads for Nike, Diesel and Levis (among others). Apparently that's not quite enough though because there's also talk of his own gallery space and he's just launched a magazine.

Huh. Magazine , as it's known, is a Vice-like mix of the spurious and serious, including features on hipster favourites music, art and skateboarding. It also features some interesting photography - I particularly liked the shots by Jerry Hsu, Matthew Genitempo and Karly Wildenhaus.

Wildenhaus was also born in just 1988, but her interesting, deliberately-pixellated work suggests she too is wise beyond her years. 'Identifying what qualifies as a photograph has been relatively straightforward for the past 100 years, but that definition is coming into question as more computer-generated images deal with photographic issues,' she says. 'Despite a lot of anxiety over the death of film, I definitely don't see any traditional or trend-oriented forms of photography dying out. Instead, the boundaries of the medium will become less distinguishable. That's all I could really predict at this point.'

Kudos to Craig for accomplishing so much at such a young age... But does the world really need another Ryan McGinley?
