HOT SHOT!
Jen Bekman Projects congratulates the 2009 Second Edition Hot Shots!
After the careful consideration of our panelists, we’re happy to announce our selections for 2009’s Second Edition of the Hey, Hot Shot! competition:
Marisa Aragona
Leah Tepper Byrne
Alejandro Cartagena
Jessica Eaton
Justin James King
These five outstanding photographers will each be awarded a $500 honorarium and participate in a group show at Jen Bekman Gallery. The 2009 Second Edition Hey, Hot Shot! opening reception and exhibition will be in March 2010.
The show marks just the beginning of new opportunities for these photographers. They are now under consideration for Ne Plus Ultra status, along with the five Hot Shots selected in the 2009 First Edition competition. Ultras join ranks with other JBG-represented artists, including 2008 Ultras Hosang Park and Collen Plumb. We’re looking forward to many collaborations with these photographers at the gallery and on 20×200.
Selecting just five artists from an amazing array of contenders couldn’t have been done without Jen Bekman and the dedication of our brilliant panelists: Christine Collins, Dana Faconti, Caterina Fake, Stephen Frailey, Raul Gutierrez, Darius Himes, Jenni Holder, Whitney Johnson, Julia Leach, Nion McEvoy, Lesley A. Martin, Kent Rogowski and Stefan Ruiz.
