Get to know Carrie & Zach before the PREYGROUND World Premiere

On April 1st, Carrie Shaltz and Zach Hyman will be revealing their brand-new body of work, PREYGROUND at 3rd Ward. Get to know them, because we’re positive you’ll be seeing a lot of these two (together and separately) in the future. 

CARRIE SHALTZ is the female half of the brother/sister photography team known as THE SHALTZES/photographers.  A native of the Midwest, she holds a Masters Degree in Architecture from the University of Michigan and is the Founder/Executive Director of the stageFARM. Exhibitions include THE JUGGALO (2010), THE NAKED TRUTH (2010) and THE NAKED TRUTH-WEST (2010).  

ZACH HYMAN moved a lot as a kid, giving him an appetite for adventure. Though originally trained as an actor, today he is most recognized for his infamous nude photography of men and women in public spaces, most of which were shown in his career-defining, exhibition DECENT EXPOSURES (2009). Zach has worked on many creative and fashion oriented projects and has been displayed in group shows with artists including David LaChapelle, Ryan McGinley, Herb Ritts, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Nan Goldin. 

Meet the artists on Friday, April 1st at the World Premiere of PREYGROUND at 3rd Ward. RSVPs are required.

Carrie & Zach // Vacationing on the California Riviera that Never Was

Carrie and Zach's spontaneity led them to Slab City. The people and the scenery made them stay. Our two Open Call winners were taken in by others leading a wandering life: hippies, convicts and artists. They heard amazing stories, made amazing friends, and for the first time in their photographic collaboration, decided to allow others to take part in a photograph...just a little preview of what's to come.

Carrie & Zach // From Salvation Mountain to Slab City

Carrie and Zach have reached the California Badlands, only to uncover a veritable treasure box of strange and unimaginable sights in Niland's fantastical, post-apocalyptic landscapes. 

All the way in the arid flats east of San Diego, they've explored everything from Salvation Mountain--a colorful gem in the monochromatic mountains, painted with bright biblical messages and imagery by Leonard Knight--to Slab City, an RV oasis filled with a welcoming coterie of drifters, artists and squatters.

Make sure to check out Carrie and Zach's accompanying video postcard. Now as fluorescent grasshoppers hopping by the side of the road (see the Best Western sign glowing in the background?), they seem to have taken a turn toward sci-fi....

Carrie & Zach // Film Noir Bears in Jacuzzi Heaven

Yet another strange and wonderful cinematic telegram from Carrie and Zach has arrived at our (virtual) doorstep.

In this inexplicable installment of their art-making adventures, Bates Motel-meets-film noir, with Carrie as the masked femme fatale lounging poolside.

Check out these photographic outtakes from their adventures in New Mexico and Arizona.  We can’t wait to see what animals they’ll be by the time they reach California.

Carrie & Zach // Notes from the Road: From the Magic School Bus to Last Chance Liquor

Carrie Shaltz and Zach Hyman have sent us another visual telegram all the way from the open road. So far their travels have taken them to Tucson, all the way through Las Cruces, New Mexico and back up to Flagstaff, Arizona. Soon they’ll be heading down to the Salton Sea, California's largest and strangest lake…

Stay tuned for more photographic clues in this evolving and unsolved mystery of art and adventure...
