About the Artist
Justine Kurland’s photographs examine—and also create—fantasies of utopian community, typically capturing inspired loners or gangs of girls in landscapes that are sometimes lushly pastoral and at other times insidiously poisoned by industrial decay. Pursuing the American archetype of the maverick or outlaw, but filtering this ideal through a truculent and sensuous adolescent femininity, Kurland often hires nonprofessional actors to stage her scenes. In recent work, she continues to explore theatricality, self-presentation, and ideas of companionship and freedom, though her bands of dreamy teenagers have been expanded to include members of functioning present-day communes.
Kurland has exhibited internationally since receiving her M.F.A. from Yale University in 1998. She has recently had a one-person show at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, and her work was included in the International Center of Photography’s 2003 triennial.
