Cool Hunting
Through 9 Sept 2007, more than 150 Stephen Shore photos shot between 1969 and 1979 will be exhibited at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City.
At the age of 14, Shore had already sold his first photographs to the Museum of Modern Art; soon after he was lighting shows for the Velvet Underground. In the early 1970s, Shore began turning commonplace surroundings into works of art by photographing ordinary scenes: a painted billboard with a big-sky backdrop (right); a plate of pancakes at a diner in Utah; bathers on the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. These snapshots on the road between Amarillo, Texas and New York became part of his groundbreaking series, "Uncommon Places," which also makes up most of the exhibit.
Organized by the Aperture Foundation, Biographical Landscape began its international tour in Los Angeles in 2005. Since then the show has traveled through Paris and the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts, before wrapping up in the 49-year-old Shore's native New York City. Simply put, "the show is wonderful," as the New York Times recently gushed .

Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
Discovered while waiting tables in NYC, painter Paul Rowland switched gears and began modeling. Shortly thereafter he created Women Management, a modeling agency with a mission to do more than just employ beautiful people, but to explore visual perception by finding talented models that could transform into a character that would engage and stimulate the viewer, and create a real meaning behind the image....
by Ariston AndersonWe first came across Matthew McGuinness' work at Scope Miami last year, when he drove a biodiesel-fueled caravan down to the prosperous art gala. Setting up shop in a trailer, the exhibition was one of the most refreshing parts of the show, featuring intricate collages framed by in materials like recycled soap fats. He continues in the political tradition with a new...
Stacey Steers' animated film "Phantom Canyon" was created from over four thousand handmade collages incorporating the images from Eadweard Muybridge's famous series of photographs from 1887 called "Human and Animal Locomotion." In this film, which is intended to mirror how we all find meaning in our experiences, a curious woman goes on a surrealistic journey with an alluring bat-winged man. The process used to...
In the world of contemporary photography where bigger is often better and color rules, sometimes it’s nice to see work that defies all of these conventions, but still manages to make an impact. The current show on view at Yancey Richardson Gallery by Masao Yamamoto, entitled Kawa–Flow, is a great example of this. In his intentionally stained and worn photographs, Yamamoto explores the notion...
