Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick, both born in 1964, are a collaborative artist team who work primarily in the fields of photography and installation art. They specialize in fictitious histories set in both the past and future.〔() Miles Unger, ''Tales of Intrigue for a Museum of Unnatural History,'' The New York Times, 6 Feb 2000〕 The artists have participated in over 100 solo and group exhibitions worldwide and have work in over 20 collections including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution. Portfolios of their work have appeared in fine art and photography magazines worldwide. They have lectured extensively at many institutions including Brown University, the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Princeton University, and San Francisco Art Institute. The artists have also published three books with Aperture Press: ''Scotlandfuturebog'', ''City of Salt'', and ''The Apollo Prophecies''. In 2002, ''Scotlandfuturebog'' was named both the best photography book of the year by the ''New York Book Show'', and the quirkiest photo book of the year in the ''Village Voice''’s annual top ten list.〔() Vince Alletti, ''More, More, More: The Best Photography Books of 2002,'' Village Voice, 3 Feb 2003〕 The text was written by the American author Ben Marcus. For their 2007 project entitled ''Eisbergfreistadt'', the artists created documentary evidence of a large iceberg turned into a fictitious city-state off of the coast of Lübeck, Germany during the great hyperinflation of 1923.〔() Mark Feeney, ''Colorful, Alternate Realities,'' Boston Globe, 5 Dec 2009〕 An exhibition at the Overbeck-Gessellschaft Museum in Lübeck in Spring 2010 told the story of the iceberg using a variety of media including photographs, postcards, architectural models, banknotes, period clothing, and marzipan.〔() Michael Berger, ''When an Iceberg Threatened Lübeck,'' Lübecker Nachrichten, 10 Apr 2010〕 Their most recently completed project, ''Mars: Adrift on the Hourglass Sea'', debuted in Boston〔() Mark Feeney, ''Exploring Brave New Worlds,'' Boston Globe, 1 Oct 2010〕 and is scheduled to appear in New York City, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles. In 2012, the artists introduced a new project to be entitled ''Truppe Fledermaus''. ==External links== *(Kahn & Selesnick ) *(Kahn & Selesnick (Supplemental) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kahn & Selesnick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
