BIO
A groundbreaking documentarian photographer and artist, Lyle Owerko has published a substantial insight in to a diverse range of subjects. His work has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, with profiles on CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, The New York Times Arts Section, New York Magazine, and The Washington Post. Often working with human rights organizations, such as Charity:Water and the United Nations Millennium Promise initiative, Owerko’s work frequently merges art with a social mission. Most notably, his contribution to urban history; "The Boombox Project” began as vivid chronicle of portable vintage stereos that quickly expanded in to numerous books and media extensions. In 2010, Abrams Image published a survey of those photos, which included a foreword by Spike Lee (along with contributions from a wide spectrum of artists, musicians and cultural luminaries). Owerko’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, The George Eastman Museum as well as The Smithsonian and The Marguiles Collection in Miami. His work has being exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Grammy Museum, the Rauschenberg Gallery at Florida SouthWestern, MoCA Jacksonville and MARTa Hereford in Germany among many other notable private galleries and institutions.
