Collaborative works by Maggie Preston and Jason Kalogiros
Working as a collaborative, Maggie Preston and Jason Kalogiros approach the act of photographing as a dual author in their first exhibition Duplicate Location. The term photographer seems to imply an individual author since a photograph results from the single click of a button. The work of Preston/Kalogiros negates this singular methodology, instead they confound the issue by presenting a body of work conceived in unison.
While traveling together each artist responded to their own inclinations to document their surroundings; simply photographing what was of interest to them, later editing and assembling the images to be viewed and read as the work of one entity. Garry Winogrand once said, “I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs." Preston/Kalogiros use this credo as a point of departure, yet interweave two perspectives to produce a new version of the story.
Maggie Preston and Jason Kalogiros live and work in San Francisco, California. They both received their Master of Fine Arts degrees from The California College of the Arts in 2008.
