ONE TIME USE

I’m pleased to say that I will be showing work at K&K GALLERY again next month for a show titled KK04 One Time Use.

You can read about it here:

K&K is pleased to present One Time Use: a project using disposable cameras. Six artists (Aaron Binaco, Anna Moller, Daniel Barrett, Marc McAndrews, Marina Zamalin and Shane Neufeld) were commissioned to shoot a disposable camera and then deliver their film to us. We are displaying every frame from this process online, while selected prints will be on view in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition.

The limitations of the project subjected six distinct individual aesthetics to the filter of the disposable camera. The disposable provides a medium which — in its lo-fi-ness — is capable of distilling the photographic process away from the technical distractions of photo gear. It is within this deliberately simplistic medium that the artists pursued their work.

The results are at once conceptually varied yet stylistically coherent. The imagery oscillates between landscape, infrastructure, portrait, travel, food, architecture, interior, and the street. Yet it consistently retains shared marks of the medium: obvious grain, distorted rendering of the subject, and a certain consumer haze.

Ultimately the end result of the process — a series of limited edition prints hanging on gallery walls — completes the alchemical cycle from budget / ephemeral back into valued / permanent which began when the artists themselves picked up the one time use camera.

June 4 – July 26
Opening: June 4, 7-10pm

SNAP!

I was lucky enough to have my work displayed @  SNAP! – -a four day photo show in Orlando , FL this year.  Today marks the last day of the event and although I wasn’t able to attend, I was there in spirit.

Congrats to Patrick Kahn and all the folks who were able to get this show going!!

Nested

I am part of a group show and charity auction organized by my talented friend Ms Avalove at the Jivamukti yoga center in New York City. Participating artists were asked to take the concept of “nesting” and make a piece with that idea in mind.

Proceeds go to support HABITAT FOR HUMANITY in Sri Lanka, to aid families who are still without homes as a result of the devastating Tsunami in 2004, and those living in relief camps in the wake of the Sri Lankan civil war. Another beneficiary is the local chapter of the AUDUBON SOCIETY, a grassroots organization dedicated to the protection of wild birds and their habitat in the greater New York City area.

All art is available for viewing and bidding through January 14, 2010.

Visit http://thenestingproject.tumblr.com/ to see the work and make a bid!

Love, peace, make a bid and save a life!

Wanted to share some good news:

"First"- July 2008

The Long Way Home

In March I exhibited my photographs at a gallery in NYC called the Wild Project.  I showed 6 large scale, moody shots of a place in Sweden called Varmland. I have connection to this area because this is where  my family is from.  I visited  often as a child and I also spent a great deal of time there in 2004 when I took the year to live and travel in Sweden.

From July- Dec 09′, these photos will be displayed at the EU commission building in NYC. If you would like to see more of the pieces from the series click here.

Here is an image from the show:

Untitled (#4), 2008, 24x24 inches, edition of 15

And here is the accompanying poem:

I’m finally compelled to ask you
where you come from.
I see you under that marbled
tree
You are half of the ancient
forest
Your other half is mostly me

Come winter, the frost blows
stately
Settling in like a long stare
It carves a space for every leaf
and branch
letting memory find her way to
air

I see you in me,
Despite the thick inlay
Your song is solid, strong.
your intention is your core

Softer now, you whisper
Come, stay close by
These roots of yours are far
and wide
Time will continue to roll upon
itself
But the bounty, the protection,
the witness stays inside

FOTO 8

In July I will be a part of the Foto 8 Summer Exhibition which will be held on July 24th at the HOST gallery in London.  I’ll be in Sweden traveling during that time so I’m going to try and make it to the opening.  I think you should too!
