Bill T Jones: A Good Man

This is a fantastic American Masters documentary about the choreographer and dancer Bill T Jones. It's as much a film about the creative process as it is a look at this indelible man.

If you have an iphone and like to take snaps with it check out Instagram. It's a free photo sharing app that allows you to easily post your photos and follow other people's feeds. I've been a little preoccupied with it since I got the 4S...

New York in Color

I am happy to have my work included in a recent survey titled New York in Color, edited by historian and curator Bob Shamis. New York in Color presents many iconic images not widely seen before, and is a thoughtfully arranged book.. Any lover of New York City will appreciate this collection of color photography from the past one hundred years.


Winner

Receiving this email is what makes me glad I allow myself to be accessible on the internet.

Hello.
I'm not totally sure if you're going to be actually reading this or if you have a secretary doing it for you, but I stumbled upon your website because someone made a post on tumblr.com about your website. I was scrolling through your hotel room pictures and came across one that struck my attention and is still currently holding it.
I showed this to my brother and we were both a little confused.
1 - Why did you come to Winner, of all places...
2 - What motel/hotel were you staying in...
And 3 - I've lived in Winner for 16 years and thought it was crazy seeing that you took a picture of yourselves and put it on your site. WINNER SD!

I hope to talk to you. You two guys in the pictures got bonus awesome points from me.

News

I am proud to be included in the Lainzhou Photo Festival taking place this weekend in Lainzhou,China. I will be showing new work from my latest project Manhattan Sunday. I wish I could have made the trip as I am sure it is going to be an interesting mix of work in a unique setting.
I am also exhibiting work at the Charles Lane Press booth at the Pulse Art Fair in Miami December 1-4.
I have not updated my website in quite a long time due to the fact I am launching a new re-designed site coming in 2012. I am looking forward to sharing it. Stay tuned...

Mona Lisas of the Suburbs

The other day, I received a beautiful new photo book from my friend Joerg Colberg of Conscientious blog fame. You may not know, but Joerg is also a publisher, whose mission is to put out original and challenging monographs through his cleverly named imprint Meier und Müller, the two most common surnames found in German telephone books.

The title "Mona Lisen der Vorstädte" which translates to "Mona Lisas of the Suburbs" refers to the work of Ute and Werner Mahler, a wife and husband team who travelled from Iceland to Ukraine making large format portraits of that most enduring European archetype: the girl of ambiguous beauty, and a face whose secrets are tucked safely away behind her bemused gaze.

The figures are framed by gray suburban backgrounds of the most generic and unmistakably European style. But each composition is carefully arranged, mating its subject to the landscape in a way that animates the indeterminate spaces in which they are posed, and beckons the viewer into the mysterious no man's land separating what we think we know about a person when we look at her portrait, and what we can never know.

A very interesting new photo book that you should order for your collection!

Born

I've twice been over to the Sasha Wolf gallery to see Elinor Carucci's most recent work about her and her twins Eden and Emmanuelle titled Born. The work is quite amazing and the prints are really beautiful to see in person.  I think Elinor is limning new and compelling territory in her photographic exploration of motherhood.  I'm quite looking forward to this project becoming a book.

Nick Cave

No, not the musician, the fashion designer, just seriously wowed me at his recent show at the Mary Boone Gallery here in NY.

The Map is not the Territory

Photographers Vanessa Winship & George Georgiou are traveling the United States over the course of the next year documenting their impressions of America. You can follow their work and travels on a blog titled The Map is not the Territory. Vanessa won the 2011 Henri Cartier Bresson Award and with that award is here for the next year working on a new project Out There: An American Odyssey.
George Georgiou is accompanying his wife Vanessa on the American journey and also photographing along the way. George Georgiou's work from Turkey is included in MoMA's New Photography 2011. George and Vanessa met in photography school in the UK over twenty-five years ago. The two of them are extraordinary photographers, and have such an admirable working partnership. Good Stuff!

Arias with a Twist

Last night I saw a beautiful fantasia of a show starring NY legendary performer Joey Arias. The show is a collaboration between Arias and master puppeteer Basil Twist. It was a glorious performance taking you on a magical journey through the most imaginative stage design, sets, and puppetry. Arias has a very strong voice that often mirrors Billy Holiday and the show delivers the naughty punch you would expect from a drag diva like Arias. It is only running through tomorrow night but hopefully they will bring it back soon.
