Natalie Jeremijenko: Ooz, Inc. (...for the birds) by Wendy Dembo

Njeremijenko

For all you bird-loving city-dwellers, engineer/artist Natalie Jeremijenko has created a complete urban bird environment (part of her Ooz series) on the roof of Postmasters, with a water system, appropriate foliage, insects, and other bird necessities, including a mall and a concert hall. She has asked some of the freshest architects around to build the birdhouses. Aranda/Lasch & terraswarm, bonetti/kozerski, Leeser Architecture, Materialab with Gensler + Gutierrez, OpenSource Architecture, Systemarchitects, theLiving, Phil Taylor, Kate Bakewell and Laura Kurgan have all made multi-family units for the birds. Viewers will be able to see the birds' interactions with the designer housing in the gallery via live video streams. In addition to making some very nice real estate for the birds, Natalie will be seeing how the birds will fare in the urban environment.

Opening: 9 September 2006, 6-8pm
Postmasters Gallery

A series of self portraits, the work is unabashedly self-focused showing a range of emotions, scenarios and levels of undress. A playful kind of humor runs throughout, almost as if Arsenault's sharing...

Kelli Connell: Double Life
Kelli Connell’s first solo show in New York opens tonight at Yossi Milo Gallery. The show, called "Double Life," appears to document an evolving relationship between two women. However, the photographs are actually completely staged and constructed. While digitally creating the photographs, Connell used the same model to portray both women and then composited multiple negatives into one picture. The result is a series...
An Interview with Lisa Kereszi
Dubbed "visual poetry" by Stephen Shore, New York-based photographer Lisa Kereszi is known for her prints of ordinary places in lush, deeply saturated colors. In her current show, Kereszi's subjects are spaces—strip joints, fortune telling parlors, theaters—that aspire to transcend the everyday. Earlier this week, CH contributor Jonah Samson chatted with the artist about her interests, style and background. For the full interview, go...
