two gallery openings last night
March 12, 2010last night i made the effort to leave my safe warm house to attend two photography show openings. the first gallery was the Aperture Foundation Gallery and Bookstore opening of ‘Angry Black Snake’ by Michael Corridore which runs from 2/25/2010 thru 4/8/2010, 547 W 27th street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10001.
In the words of Aperture book publisher Lesley A. Martin, “Corridore’s project, Angry Black Snake, is an exercise in minimalism. Each image has been pared down to the barest of elements—urgent gestures and barely traceable figures cloaked in smoke and dust. Yet each image pulses with palpable emotional tension, telegraphed by these barest of representational sketches and the subtle shifting colors of the clouds that descend upon each scene like a flimsy curtain.”
but what i found really exciting at aperture was the exhibit ‘ No Singing Allowed‘ Flamenco & Photography which runs 2/6/2010 thru 4/6/2010, with prints supplied from collections from all over the world. Yes they have an accompanying book for sale. in the web page notes
Whether as social phenomenon or musical expression, flamenco has been of enduring interest and inspiration to photographers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. While some photographers from outside of Spain went in search of it or encountered it by chance, to others flamenco and its practitioners are an essential, if not innate, aspect of their cultural heritage and their photographic work. This artistic form—also considered a way of life or being—has generated fascination in cultured urban circles, remaining one of the most secret, mysterious, and seductive manifestations of twentieth-century European popular art. Marginalized and ostracized, the world of flamenco took root in an economically backward region of southern Europe, culturally peripheral and marked by a history of authoritarianism and local despotisms. This exhibition of more than one hundred and fifty years of images, frequently taken by foreigners rather than Spaniards, is an extensive survey of how photographers of different eras have approached the universe of flamenco, whether documenting the dance itself, gestures that recall it, or the culture that is developed around it.
way cool was the best discovery of the night Wendy Paton’s work at Sous Les Etoies Gallery, 560 Broadway,#205, NY, NY 0012, 212 966 796, runs from 3/11/2010 thru 4/30/2010. her show is called Visages De Nuit consisting of a series of gelatin silver black & white candid night images that are intended to provoke compelling and mysterious emotions of uncertainly .
wendy paton
wendy paton
the gallery program says Wendy Paton ‘allows herself to disappear in order to let her subjects emerge from the night.’ ” my experience is that people act differently a night. they let their guard down.they become who they really are, or they transform themselves into someone,real or imagined,that the want to be. there are seemingly no restrictions at night. life seems to become more free flowing as opposed to how people tend to act in the light of day” she says.
but at the opening Wendy was the shining light with her red hair, busy talking to everybody, it surely was her night and she looked lovely. good luck
Deborah Turbeville exhibit until March 20, 2010
March 10, 2010Past Imperfect
if you’ve never seen this fashion editor turned photographers work i think you’ll be in for a treat by visiting this exhibit at Staley-Wise Galley located at 560 Broadway, suite 305, NY,NY 10012, 1 212 966 6223.
turberville 'Bath'
i was first introduced to her work by a deceased mentor who worked at B&H video who always had time to share stories of people he knew and had waited on during his long career. i miss him when i walk into the developing department. he always had time to share his knowledge.
japanese woodblock exhibit at nippon gallery
March 3, 2010new york has so many surprises, today i found a japanese woodcut exhibit and artist Mr. Makino Munenori who’s exhibit ‘Beyond Hokusai and Hiroshige’ complete woodblock prints, will only be in town from 3/3/10 to 3/9/10 at The Nippon Gallery located in The Nippon Club, 145 West 57th Street, NYC , NY, ground floor lobby.
originally i had gone to the building for a meeting at another office but after a quick glance in passing i knew i wanted to explore this exhibit more fully. after my meeting i entered the gallery space where they were making final adjustments to a video of the artist working in his studio.
i watched the video with fasciation and at the conclusion i opened my wallet to remove a business card to give to the gallery sitter but as i turned around the artist and owner of the gallery stood there. what a lovely opportunity, totally unexpected, to engage in conversation had i only been able to speak japanese or he english. but the translator who spoke better japanese than i but who’s english was something she was learning.
i gave Mr. Munenori my card, very important in japanese society and bowed we smiled a lot. i am sure that all the words i had to say weren’t translated but who cares. what did get communicated were my feelings about his work. what more is there?
so if you’re wandering around the neighborhood, west 57th street, do stop in for a new york treat via japan.
What a busy day, march came in like a lion today

then another series submitted to the Xto Image Awards Calling all photographers and illustrators inspired by the human form to submit their work to the Xto Image Awards. The final deadline is March 1, 2010.
Awards: $2000- Top Overall and $1000-Runner-Up; An exhibit in Los Angeles for the top two winners of each category.
The exhibit will be April 1-7, 2010 at the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. The winners celebration will be held April 3, 2010, 7pm-10pm in conjunction with MOPLA.
i submitted a female series for this one.
Awaking
eyes wide open
now for the third contest i submitted the females from above to The Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints Ltd.
boy that was some work day which i don’t usually put myself through because i try to submit long before the deadlines, but somehow things got away from me this year. hope this isn’t a harbinger of the year to come.
i’d be happy with any of these associations because looking at past winners i’d be in some pretty good company. tomorrow i have to pack up my Ascending print and send it off to C4fap.
woohoo the day is done .

Work accepted in the following subject categories:
1) ARTISTS BOOKS: An “artists book” is a work of art, visual or conceptual in nature that refers to books or the idea of the book. It is not illustrations done for books. They are “objects (or sculpture) which have been inspired by, or heavily influenced by ‘the fetish-object known as book’ (to quote Stan Bevington). They are ‘artists books’ even though they don’t conform in all respects to some ten-point checklist of what makes a traditional book.” Richard Miller
To paraphrase an essay by Johnanna Drucker, an artist’s book is a work of art conceived and executed as a book and does not exist in any other form or format. It might use images, texts and any and all means of production – photography, painting, drawing, collage, metalwork, stitching, beading, both handwork and machine driven.
2) FINE ART: PAINTINGS SCULPTURE ETC. THAT INCORPORATES THE CONCEPT OF THE BOOK:
Additionally, although they are not “Artists Books” as defined above:
3) ARTISTS SKETCH BOOKS

C4FAP ‘Motion’ selection
January 29, 2010well i’ve had one of my images selected for a c4fap Motion shows coming up this spring. i also have a cold as does mary, these things happen when we are out and about in the world.
Ascending
i’ve made a package for the image and have downloaded the forms needing to accompany the framed print. one really should never have to read instructions and understand them when one doesn’t feel good. it’s just too much to understand nor wanting to comply with. i’d rather lay down on the couch, turn on tv and see what’s going on in soap opera world and put my head gently down on a pillow waiting for oprah to come along and lull me to sleep.
i’ve time to think about all this and since it’s 23 degrees outside i don’t need to trudge off to UPS and send the package. besides they want an artist statement. do you think they accept a note saying i’d rather take a nap?
i’ve plenty of time as the show isn’t until march 19 thru april 17 2010.
busy week as i am going over to meet the people who run the 52nd Street Project tonight and see one of their shows. the project is about helping the neighborhood kids expresses themselves using theater and since we are living in the theater district capital of the world, arrogant statement for sure but this is broadway. i think it’s nice to give back to the community who supported me and i know that one person can make a difference in another’s life.
i’ll always be grateful for Joe coming into my life, a newark policeman who read my families dynamic and offered me friendship instead of telling me what i should do. me being a teenage i wasn’t too open for advice as i knew everything but he was there with a friendly place for me to go when i needed another perspective.
i think everyone needs places like that in their lives.
so i’ll just not do too much thinking today and maybe take a nap. we can all benefit from my doggie’s suggestion on this cold winter day.
but with the snap of a shutter and living with a photographer one can never relax completely
you want to do what on the couch?
