Lay Flat 02: Meta

We cite from the COVER:
"Lay Flat 02: Meta brings together a selection of contemporary artists whose photographs are conceptually engaged with the history, conventions and materiality of the medium itself."
"Through various methods of image-making-abstraction, appropriation, experimentation, collage, among others-the diverse contributions of Claudia Angelmaier, Semâ Bekirovic, Charles Benton, Walead Beshty, Lucas Blalock, Talia Chetrit, Anne Collier, Natalie Czech, Jessica Eaton, Roe Ethridge, Sam Falls, Stephen Gill, Daniel Gordon, David Haxton, Matt Keegan, Elad Lassry, Katja Mater, Laurel Nakadate, Lisa Oppenheim, TorbjBrn Redland, Noel Rodo-Vankeulen, Joachim Schmid, Penelope Umbrico, Useful Photography, Charlie White, Ann Woo and Mark Wyse both investigate the complex language of photography and question its boundaries."
"In addition to photographs, this issue includes the writings of Adam Bell, Alex Klein, Lesley A. Martin, Arthur Ou, Noel Rodo-Vankeulen, as well as a conversation between Lyle Rexer and James Welling, an artist who is seminal to this dialogue. These texts serve to provide the historical framework for viewing the images and raise some of the theories, questions and concerns that surround them."
"While part of an enduring tradition that extends as far back as photography's youth, artists today are no less eager to push the medium past its indexioal limits, finding innovative approaches and original concepts in the process. At a moment where photography appears to be changing and redefining itself faster than ever, these recent works and accompanying texts illuminate the medium's past while simultaneously paving the way for its future."
