With this series, Aperture presents five of the most promising artists
featured on tinyvices.com, the popular online gallery founded by
independent curator and photographer Tim Barber. Presented in five
separate volumes, and limited to 1,000 copies per edition, the series
reflects the loose spirit of the website and offers a range of styles
and approaches to photography-Kenneth Cappello's casual snapshots of the
skate scene of his youth, Allan Macintyre's rigorous investigations of
geological activity, Jason Nocito's playful groupings of disparate
images, Robin Schwartz's disquieting portraits of her daughter and
Jaimie Warren's theatrical self-portraits. Each book is introduced by a
prominent artist, writer or curator. Since its inception in 2005,
tinyvices has become an influential platform for emerging talent,
featuring the work of hundreds of photographers and artists, including
Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow. Its corresponding exhibition opened in New
York in 2006, and has since toured worldwide, from Proyectos Monclova in
Mexico to Colette in Paris.
Jason Nocito, born in Mineola, New York in 1974, is a graduate of
Parsons School for Design. His work has appeared in Dazed & Confused,
Vice magazine, Tokion and the London Sunday Times.
