A Success: Looking Out Seeing In at South Oxford Space

This past Wednesday the 24th was the opening for Looking Out/ Seeing In, a group photography show at South Oxford Space in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The work looked fabulous together and people responded very well at the opening. All of the photographs represented some kind of intervention either by nature or by human, or the clash between the two, be it humorous, strange, or merely observational. Here are portraits of the artists with their work.

In this building-wide exhibition, returning artists take the
wonderful, dilapidated and charismatic structure that is the
ABC No Rio community center and transform it into a
mini-museum.This year the Ides of March is especially
exciting as the building will be demolished and rebuilt
following the show; this is the last major exhibition in the
100-year-+-old structure.

MILES FROM HOME Group Show opens Saturday September 5th

MILES FROM HOME

The Bakery Artspace
a newly established gallery by the artist James Casebere

September 5 - September 20, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 5, 2 - 5 P.M.
18 Garden Street
Rhinebeck, NY 12572

www.milesfromhome.us

The Bakery Artspace is pleased to present Miles From Home, a group exhibition in which twelve artists explore the fragmentary and shifting nature of the world around them in correlation to their own development as a newly established collective of creative individuals.

The typical notion of home is one of safety and stability; but home, particularly now, is subjective, constantly changing, and often based on illusory memories. Within this realm of uncertainty, these artists utilize the photographic medium to explore the role that risk plays in their lives and work. An artist coming into their own at any time faces the unknown, gazes into the void, and takes a risk by plunging in, by making work, by not giving into society's obvious structures, and by creating their own community within which to develop, inspire, and take chances. As the models around us undergo a series of great shifts— in the economy, in the art market, in technology, in distribution modes, in communication itself—these artists see themselves presented with opportunity.

This collection of work does not try to provide answers, or to prophesy the future. Rather, these artists are building their own maps, creating their own pathways through the world and their work, and seeking the roads that will move them forward. They are taking hold of an unpredictable future with a firmer grasp, this show being the first result of their collective strength and inspiration.


Artists include:


Erica Allen

Rachel Barrett

Clayton Cotterell

Jade Doskow

J. Alan Hamill

Ben Handzo

Allison Kaufman

Bryan Lear

Alison Malone

The Bakery Artspace is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 6 P.M.

TROPICAL STORMS IN PUERTO RICO

Well wanted to add a brief something in here....have been on my honeymoon in Puerto Rico for the last couple of weeks, which has been quite an adventure, from the boozshie pools at El San Juan Resort and Casino to the wild coasts of Rincon to the insane, extremely verdant jungles and mountains of the interior of the island. After that, the odd, decrepit city of Ponce, the rain forests of El Yunque, and now....stuck in Fajardo, a small coastal town trying to escape the island before the hurricane scheduled for tomorrow!

So, rather than go to the tropical Caribbean island of Vieques as planned, we've decided to abandon PR and head to New Mexico instead, one of our favorite places to road-trip, camp, and make 4 x 5's. My friend Sarah Palmer has made some pretty sweet pictures out there.
