Josh Brand

Brand was born in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, US in 1980. He undertook his BFA at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, graduating in 2002.[2]

He undertook his BFA and MFA in Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago between 1971-1978. Brand had a darkroom in his family basement, and as a teenager he would experiment for hours with the chemistry of photography, later working as a professional printer. His process-based photographic ‘objects’ are often made as the result of a physically manipulated, completely camera-less procedure.[3][4][5]

Brand's work has been exhibited at the Whitney Biennial,[6] White Columns, New York,[7] Dallas Museum of Art,[8] the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago,[9] the CEAAC (European Center for Contemporary Art Actions), Strasbourg,[10] the Emily Harvey Foundation, New York,[11] Leubsdorf Gallery at Hunter College, New York[12] and Drawing Room, London.[13] His work is included in the public collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Dallas Museum of Art, US.[14]
