These wildly inventive staged photographs, evidence of events that never happened, playfully question the role of photography in our sense of historical truth. Equal parts Jules Verne and Stanley Kubrick, with a touch of William Blake, the panoramic moonscape literally unfolds in multiple episodes that intermingle artifacts from the fearless era of early-twentieth-century exploration with space-age gadgetry. Kahn and Selesnick have combined real-life locations, miniature models and full-scale props of their own devising to produce a dramatic narrative where space-suited astronauts (most portrayed by the artists themselves, with a few similarly clad monkeys and elephants) reappear as events continue across the page. This is an Apollo lunar mission at once dreamlike, oddly familiar and utterly convincing.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.kahnselesnick.com/ApolloProphecy/wholie.htm" target="_blank">View scrolling version of the complete panorama</a></p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49401654033http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49401654033Wed, 01 May 2013 18:00:24 -0700artapollo propheciesKahn & SelesnickNicholas KahnRichard Selesnickmysticismkahn and selesnickconceptualsci-fiphotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6ye2qteNa1qhbyppo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://katie-scott.tumblr.com/post/26910479536/kings-of-super-beasts-part-two" target="_blank">katie-scott</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>‘Kings of Super Beasts’</p> <p>- Part Two</p> </blockquote>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49388133681http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49388133681Wed, 01 May 2013 15:00:31 -0700artkatie scott<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b461580458ab1d8043f9de81613320f3/tumblr_mlygj376MQ1qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.lorinix.net/index.html" target="_blank">Lori Nix<em><br/></em></a><em>Bounty</em>, 2004</p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49374839379http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49374839379Wed, 01 May 2013 12:00:29 -0700Lori Nixartdioramaphotography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e651293ad67e5c24c691c1208613f6b5/tumblr_mlygwkJGq51qbx5ceo2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Julie Heffernan<br/><em>Budding Boy</em>, 2010<br/>oil on canvas<br/>78 x 56”</p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49374596693http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49374596693Wed, 01 May 2013 11:56:00 -0700julie heffernanartleaving the nestpaintingoil paintingbirdstreesadolesencefigure<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/07c4e84e814c7d74e510c8a25fc674a4/tumblr_mlydnnPSyL1qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://timothy-cummings.com/" target="_blank">Timothy Cummings</a><br/><em>Clown for a Day,</em> 2011<br/>acrylic on panel<br/>20 x 16”</p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49193523251http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49193523251Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700Timothy Cummingsartpaintingclownportrait<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/20ed84409ead433a3dc5b5b788b2a9fd/tumblr_mly8iewpgi1qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://christopherdavison.com/" target="_blank">Christopher Davison</a><br/><span id="caption"><span id="titleText"><em>Philosophy Lessons</em>, 2010<br/>ink wash, pen and ink on paper<br/>11×14″</span></span></p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49126993195http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49126993195Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:58:51 -0700Christopher Davisonartpen and ink<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/417ee2742fbff49eb5bf6e08fed1e4d3/tumblr_mlyhaaLm9A1qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.billdunlap.com/" target="_blank">Bill Dunlap</a><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billdunlap.com%2F&ei=Bth8Uf7kOOazigLHloH4BQ&usg=AFQjCNG2FCsNdZ47UjHPjBw4eA1eGPgDkA&sig2=yz81nu158KNrZblyfTN8XQ" target="_blank"><em><br/></em></a><span class="st"><em>King Midas</em></span>, 2009<span class="st"><em><span class="st"><br/></span></em>Acrylic on wood<br/>24”x24”</span></p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49126987991http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49126987991Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:58:00 -0700bill dunlapartpaintingfaces<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d2358bed8b87013386b58ca3f958a0d1/tumblr_mlyfcyZ8WR1qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.kahnselesnick.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Kahn & Selesnick</a><em><br/>King of Birds</em>, 2008</p>http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49112309977http://ercheer.tumblr.com/post/49112309977Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:00:00 -0700Kahn & Selesnickkahn and selesnickeisbergfreistadtbirdsartphotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/87520397acb141fb119c81cd720ebdc4/tumblr_mlu5dd2c021qbx5ceo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>João Ruas<br/><em>Le Sacre du Printemps III -
