The artist’s photographic work is in a thematically similar mode to photographers Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, Ryan McGinley and Richard Billingham, often depicting scenes of a candid or illicit nature. Instances of sex, drug taking, violence and art-world pretentiousness are documented with disarming frankness and honesty, offering insight into the decadent lifestyle associated with young New York City artists and their social circles.

Synopsis: Koh’s artists’ books and editions are integral to his exploration of the intersection between death and desire. Such Things I Do To Make Myself More Attractive To You amps up the sense of impending cataclysmic consummation. Each of the edition of 200 consists of a black box containing three booklets resting on a bed of black jellybeans, along with a unique ebony-colored, organically-shaped sculpture of black plaster and black glitter, and a black-on-black colophon card with a unique signed “drawing” on the reverse, individually charred around the edges. The first of the three pamphlets presents tiny ghostly black and white photographs, internet images of attractive young men, each centered in a sea of black. Each page of the second pamphlet presents a burn mark, which has in turn been burned with a cigarette, creating a series of negatives spaces surrounded by brown ashy tracing and reptilian bubbles. The last booklet, holding only a single tipped-in image, frames the overwhelming drive towards a loss of individuality though a prism of suicidal impulses.

This slim but potent collection of photographs from Dean Sameshima is divided into three chapters that lead seamlessly into one another: the sunbleached, unadorned cement facades of sex clubs make way for the rumpled, sweat-soaked sheets of the empty beds inside, which then open naturally onto the open shirts of the “Modern Boys” whom the artist has cropped just below the eyes. Bruce Hainley’s essay, “Jock, Model, Building, Bed,” uses Sameshima’s photographs as a launching pad for musings on objects of his own desire and the spaces and places of that desire.

Young Men at Play!, Vol. 2 is the second catalog from Dean Sameshima’s 2005 exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery in Tokyo. The images — of young men cavorting naked — are re-photographed from amateur magazines that circulated illegally in the U.S. in the 1960s. The catalog itself constitutes an outlaw act given existing censorship laws in Japan and the current conservative political climate in the United States. The work is motivated, in part, by the artist’s will to assert and examine the continued existence of underground culture as one amongst multiple “gay cultures”.
