Aperture is pleased to announce the participating artists in the 2020 Aperture Summer Open, Information. At a moment when ideas about truth and power have been disrupted, these fourteen artists consider how photography portrays and charts our experiences of technology, politics, and the social landscape, from declassified military archives and CIA conspiracy theories, to encounters with race and memory, to the physical spaces where digital information is concealed from the public eye. Together, they broadcast new ways of viewing our present—and our future.

Yu-Chen Chiu’s photographs recently came on my radar when she submitted an image to the Photographic Coversations Exhibition. Her project, America Seen, is a visual diary of America leading up to and after the Presidential election. It’s not political; it doesn’t show crowds of protest or celebration, instead the work shows us the every day and the ordinary–it’s as if her work is a reaffirmation that life goes on, and in some ways remains the same. Her perspective is that of the inbetween state of immigrant and rooted citizen, still curious about the sometimes strange, sometimes humorous, and sometimes beautiful place we call America. Yu-Chen was recently selected for the Critical Mass Top 200 and will have a solo show of America Seen at 182 ArtSpace in Tainan, Taiwan this coming December.
