Joseph Maida is an artist, writer and educator. Best known for his photography, Maida's work is a visual representation of the intersections between identity and culture. Maida's most significant projects include New Natives;[1] Things R Queer;[2] and Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal ________-Americans.[3] Maida earned an MFA from Yale University in 2001 and currently serves as chair of the BFA Photography and Video Department at School of Visual Arts (SVA).[4]

Early Life & Education

Maida graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University in 1999 with a BA in Architecture and a specialization in Art History. In 2001, Maida earned an MFA from Yale University where they/he studied under Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Catherine Opie.[5]

Work

While at Yale, Maida began exploring video for their/his graduate thesis. Soon after graduation from Yale University, Maida began displaying both photo and video work in group and solo exhibits nationally and abroad.

In 2013, New Natives was shown at Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York City. The gallery exhibition marked a midpoint in a series of portraits made in Hawaii between 2010-2015 of male-identifying, Hawaiian-born aspiring models. Maida sourced models through social media, thus acknowledging contemporary changes in the relationship between the local and the global.[6] New Natives explored identity, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity within the complexity of Hawaii's unique culture and history. A monograph of New Natives was published by L'Artiere (Bologna, Italy) in 2015.[7] In 2018, Maida's series Things R Queer punctuated the publication of Feast for the Eyes: The Story of Food in Photography, by Susan Bright.[8] Their/his brightly colored still-life photographs of strange dioramas made entirely of food garnered the attention of both modern platforms such as Instagram as well as traditional modes of gallery and print exhibition.[9] That same year, soon after the enactment of Donal Trump's Executive Order 13769, known as the Muslim Ban, Maida's book Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal ________-Americans was published. It revisited a book of words and images of the Manzanar Japanese internment camp in California by Ansel Adams.[10] Born Free and Equal was a contemporary perspective of Adam's work that paralleled historical events with that of the current day.[3] Maida continues to work on personal art and writing projects while teaching at a collegiate level.

Exhibitions

Maida's photographic work has been widely shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Venues include the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid;[11] Kunsthalle Wien;[12] Witte de With, Rotterdam;[13] C/O Berlin;[14] Photographers' Gallery, London;[15] Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam;[16] and the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York.[17] Interior Portraits, Maida's first solo exhibition at Wallspace NYC in 2002 explored expressions of individuals' interior selves through the interior spaces they occupied. New York Times Art Critic, Ken Johnson wrote, "hanging around the homes of his friends, Mr. Maida captures images of people in relaxed, unposed and unguarded moments."[18] Maida's first international show, Dream Factory was exhibited at the Nikon Salon, first in Tokyo and then in Osaka, Japan in 2010.[19] Dream Factory was the culmination of the time that Maida had spent in Japan as a recipient of the Japan U.S. Friendship Commission Grant, granted in 2007 by the National Endowment for the Arts.[20]
