Dowling Walsh Gallery features Dylan Hausthor, S.B. Walker, Scott Kelley

Work by Dylan Hausthor, S.B. Walker and Scott Kelley is on view at Dowling Walsh Gallery from Feb. 2 to March 30.

Hausthor’s “Foxgloves Down The Road From The Pickup That Has A Dead Battery” features new work from the artist, who is based on the coast of Maine. Hausthor received their BFA from Maine College of Art and MFA from Yale School of Art. They were a 2019 recipient of a Nancy Graves fellowship for visual artists, runner-up for the Aperture Portfolio Prize, nominated for Prix Pictet 2021, a W. Eugene Smith Grant finalist, 2021 Hariban Award Honorable Mention, 2021 Penumbra Foundation resident, 2023 Light Work resident, a 2022-2023 Lunder Fellow at Colby College, and the winner of Burn Magazine’s Emerging Photographer’s Fund. 

Their work has been shown nationally and internationally, and they have three books in the permanent collection at MoMA. They work teaching ghost hunting, ritual, photography, and mushroom foraging.

To write this biography, Hausthor contacted a forensic medium, who suggested that they “seemed like someone who was passionate in the things they believed in and who hides messages in what they have to say.”

“Winter Apples” comes from artist S.B. Walker, an artist living and working in Maine.

His works have been exhibited internationally and can be found in public and private collections including the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Addison Gallery of American Art, the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Smith Museum of Art, the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University, the Thoreau Institute, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Peabody Essex Museum, and the Paul Sack Photographic Trust. His projects have been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Smithsonian Magazine, Hyperallergic, Aperture, The Atlantic and others.

In 2017, Walker released his first published monograph Walden which features an afterword by Yale scholar Alan Trachtenberg (Kehrer Verlag , 2017). Works from his series examining the Polaroid Corporation are featured in a traveling museum exhibition titled The Polaroid Project, Art and Technology. Starting at the Amon Carter Museum in Texas, the exhibition has toured multiple venues in Europe and Asia, and returned to the MIT Museum in the fall of 2019. Most recently, his work was included in a survey of American photography curated by Sandra Philips titled “American Geography” (Radius Books/SFMoMA).

His work is currently represented by Janet Borden Inc. in New York.

A third exhibition at Dowling features work by artist Scott Kelley.
