Called The New Important Photographers, the exhibition will first open at the Superchief Gallery’s Brooklyn location on July 29th and will expand into the gallery’s space in SOHO come August 6th, building off the first exhibition’s body of work.

Amongst the featured artists is one Miller Rodriguez, otherwise known as Pretty Puke, a brash young photographer who appears to be working on a new video for rapper/YouTube sensation Rich Chigga. In an article about his work for Mishka’s Summer 2015 lookbook, VICE describe Pretty Puke’s pictures as, “titillating, macabre, and darkly funny.” In addition to Puke, the coming show at Superchief will feature work by Nadia Lee Cohen, the nostalgic, socially conscious photographer known for her subversive female portraits.
