Tribble & Mancenido

Born: Staten Island, New York
Lives: Jersey City, New Jersey

James Frank Tribble (b. 1983, South Carolina) and Tracey Mancenido-Tribble (b.1980, New York) are collaborative artists who currently live in Jersey City. James received his BFA from The School of Visual Arts and Tracey from Polimoda in Florence, Italy and FIT in New York. They have recently returned from their yearlong travels across the states, highlighting the journey of American truck drivers. The artists became both voyeur and subject, spending over a year on the road as employed truck drivers, photographing and living out of their eighteen-wheeler.

Tribble & Mancenido have been exhibited and published nationally and internationally, including shows at Centre Pompidou, in association with The Shanghai Art Museum, Houston Center for Photography, Magenta's Flash Forward Festival in Toronto and Boston, PIP International Photo Festival in Pingyao, China and Host Gallery in London. James and Tracey's work has been featured in publications such as The British Journal of Photography, Businessweek, Photo District News and The New York Times. They are represented by Sasha Wolf Gallery in New York.
