Ryan McGinley reveals a new chapter in his oeuvre this evening: digital photography. The camera-strapped artist known for his images of vivacious twenty-somethings nude amid the backdrop of American landscapes, McGinley opens his first digital project set within the confines of a studio, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, tonight at New York's Team Gallery.

McGinley searched far and wide for fellow arts-minded models (writers, filmmakers, etc), "150 lithe, mellow, frequently tattooed, and almost obscenely young-looking," discovering many at events like music festivals such as Coachella, Reading, and Austin City Limits.

For all intents and purposes, it appears Ryan McGinley has entered the world of classic portraiture.
