MPS Digital Photography presents Brooklyn-based photographer, filmmaker and writer M. Sharkey. Queer Kids, his long-term documentary project, has had solo exhibitions nationally and internationally at locations including Galerie de la Main de Fer, Perpignan; Rainbow House, Brussels; Les Rencontres d’Arles and at Lamont Gallery, Phillips Exeter Academy.

Sharkey's work has appeared in numerous publications including Interview, New York magazine, The Guardian/Observer, La Repubblica, Stern and T: The New York Times Style Magazine and has been included in various exhibitions at venues such as the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay & Lesbian Art, New York, NY; Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA; and the Staten Island LGBT Community Center. 

In 2016, Sharkey co-founded Coffey Street Studio, a 13k sq. ft. warehouse studio located in Red Hook, Brooklyn, dedicated to exploring the dramatic potential of constructed space through performance and design. Earlier this year, Sharkey co-founded the collective, Coordinated Artists, a group of performers, writers, directors, composers, designers and cinematographers working in film, theater, performance and installation.
