Roe Ethridge was recently featured in the Museum of Modern Arts exhibition New Photography 2010 which ran from September 29, 2010, through January 10, 2011. 

 He has mounted several solo exhibitions, at the Gagosian Gallery, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Barbara Gladstone Gallery and ICA Boston. His work has also been featured on the cover of Art Forum.

"Roe Ethridge arranges his large-format photographs into series whose precise meaning remains elusive. His gallery installations and book projects mix fine-art photographs and commercial images, including outtakes from his illustrational magazine work. A polished studio portrait may be juxtaposed with a grainy still-life drawn from a retail catalogue or a cropped shot of signage in a strip mall. At first glance the groupings may seem like selections from a stock-photography archive, but they are infused with an element of nostalgia and the uncanny. Images that feel familiar begin to take on an eerie sense of mystery when juxtaposed in the artist’s seemingly random arrays."
