In the work ''J. F. K. Jr.'' included in the solo exhibition of Slater Bradley in 2002 at Arndt & Partner, the camera closely observes an adolescent girl dressed in white in the crowd at the doorstep of the TriBeCa loft building of John F. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy after their deaths - until she notices it. It's a moment of discreet voyeurism and unreciprocated intimacy that every city-dweller can identify with.
Bradley has been featured in solo exhibitions at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York (2000), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York (2005), Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (2005), and Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2007), among others. His work has also been included in major group exhibitions including the Whitney Biennial (2004), video-musica-video at Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid (2005), and Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll since 1967 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (2007). In 2005 he was awarded The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award in Video. Bradley lives and works in New York.
