Frey Mudd [RED] by Ryan McGinley
Team Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by the New York-based photographer Ryan McGinley. ›Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere‹ will run from the 18th of March through the 17th of April . Team Gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, cross streets Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor.
For his latest exhibition, Ryan McGinley has shifted his focus away from constructing a youthful sublime within the boundless American landscape and has concentrated instead on creating imagery within the confines of his New York studio.

Ryan McGinley, 31 years old is an American photographer living in New York City who began making photographs in 1998. In 2003, at the age of 24, McGinley was the youngest artist to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was also named Photographer of the Year in 2003 by American Photo Magazine. In 2007 McGinley was awarded the Young Photographer Infinity Award by the International Center of Photography.
In 2008 he exhibited, I Know Where the Summer Goes, at Team Gallery. “But his favorite subject remains youth, as his 2008 exhibit, “I Know Where the Summer Goes,” proves. In that collection, McGinley’s troupe travels the country as he photographs them, sometimes clothed and often not, while they leap fences, lounge in a desert, play together in a tree.”(source)
