Superchief Gallery @ Culturefix is pleased to present NUCLEAR BONDS, an exhibition of photographs and video work by Grant Worth. Through Polaroids, video, performance and objects, Worth creates what he refers to as “documentation of performative collaboration,” creating environments and experiences that challenge both viewer and participant to reconsider how they experience the world, as well as “the way we relate to one another as mother and father, lovers and strangers, artists and adventurers, astronomer and star.”

NUCLEAR BONDS highlights four distinct photographic projects, exploring social constructions through personal connections and ongoing collaborations. Each series of photographs leads to the next, tracing a narrative from interior to exterior, personal to public, artist as documentor to collective collaboration.

Through this documentation, Worth has created a visual record of friends, family and collaborators in his orbit during his time in New York over the past decade, and has amassed a collection of creative heavyweights, people who have shaped Worth as well as continue to contribute to the New York cultural landscape.

NUCLEAR BONDS is artist Grant Worth’s second solo exhibition in New York City. Worth lives and works in Brooklyn NY, and received his BFA in Photography and Imaging from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. He has exhibited widely locally and across the US, most recently as part of The Polaroid Years: Instant Photography and Experimentation at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College (NY) and The Norton Museum of Art (FL), FCKNLZ – “FCKNLZ on Broadway” performance at Museum of Arts and Design (New York, NY), and Portrait of a Generation at The Hole (New York, NY). Worth was represented by John Connelly Presents (NYC) until the gallery’s closure in 2009. Worth’s full bio, CV, and other projects can be found at missionfantastic.com/
