This creative exhibition spoofs the current reality-based shows so popular in mass media culture today. At the same time, it encourages widespread participation by emerging artists, increasing their exposure and offering an opportunity for a solo exhibition in New York City.

We are pleased to announce the three winners for this 2007 American Slide All:
1. Julia Baum
Exhibition Concept:
Iıve taken the last four years to study and photographically explore a set of suburban tract homes located in Santa Clara, California. They were built during the 1950ıs and structured from the same architectural plan. This sort of terrain was first documented in the New Topography movement of the 1970ıs. As I take a second look at these neighborhoods, Iıve found vast differences in what was once a uniform typology. Over the past 50 years these Houses have transformed from modest white cubes into a vibrant display of personality and present a rebellion against conformity. My exhibition would assert that human individuality cannot be contained. Inevitably it shines through even the most average façade.
2. Zev Jonas
Exhibition Concept:
An exhibition of my work would include up to 15 images exploring a quiet sense of solitude. The work looks towards the tension between isolation and connection while considering the relationship we have with our surroundings, in particular, the sensibility of nature as an emotional wilderness. The exhibition would illuminate common yet alien settings as lonely, contemplative environments. The compositions included in the exhibition will focus on the unique beauty and sensuality of seclusion, and the search for a sense of purpose and place finding proximity and intimacy, however, often discovering the tranquility in separation and detachment.
3. Tie between Tony Silber-Delerive and Robert O'Connor
Silber-Delerive Exhibition Concept: Realistic in my perception and approach, I paint aerial views that represent the diverse places and spaces of the contemporary landscape. Pursuing this novel approach to picture making, one discovers in the aerial vantage-point, a modern perspective and fresh visual vocabulary. It offers a viewpoint of reduced depth and a different perspective, creating less predictable detail and more abstract shapes while retaining the essence of the area.
Robert O'Connor Exhibition Concept:
An installation of video and painting to move the viewer into a liminal place where identities shift and approach the edge of legibility. My goal in this exhibition is to move foreignness inward and awaken an understanding of the foreignness of others, something the world seems deeply in need of at the current moment.
The winners were selected among the other participants, by the number of votes they received by the public and the final jury: the Judges Panel.
