Cool Hunting

Bradley Peters is a recent graduate of Yale University's renowned MFA program in Photography and one of photo curator Amani Olu's rising stars. Olu teams up this month with Brooklyn gallerist Melanie Flood to present Peters' images of family and strangers in mundane situations.
Peters explains that he arranges his subjects in a scene and then "waits for something to happen"—in effect, capturing the idiosyncrasies and unplanned moments of everyday life. The result is full of both humor and discomfort, and likely to induce recollections of adolescent tension.
Influenced by the method of Henri Cartier-Bresson and the saturated color photography of Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Peters' first solo show consists of select works from his thesis project at Yale.
Amani Olu is co-founder of Humble Arts Foundation, as well as director of Bond Street Gallery in Brooklyn. Melanie Flood Projects, a new gallery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, is hosting "Home Theater" as its third exhibition, from 28 January to 28 February 2009.

Bark's newest works are so multilayered it makes my brain hurt—in the best way possible. The photos feel like part diorama, painting and film. His involved process includes constructing a pond-like set that took over a month...
Photographer and CH contributing writer Jonah Samson's photographs of sex-driven miniatures on display at Seattle's G. Gibson Gallery are controversy writ small. Selected from his series "Pleasantville," the photos are part of the group exhibition entitled "View Master," featuring photographers Lori Nix and Grace Weston, who also make use of the creepy realism of dioramas in their work. Where Nix' desolate scenes suggest countless...
by Julie Wolfson A physical exegesis of the album Dark Night of the Soul, controversial filmmaker David Lynch collaborated with the album's creators—Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse—to create a two-room installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. The intermingling of the music and photos was no accident. A huge fan of Lynch, Danger Mouse approached the filmmaker about working together on a project. Lynch,...
Following the wild success of his first NYC solo show earlier this year, photographer Peter Sutherland is doing what he does best and hitting the road for an encore solo show opening at the Hope Gallery in L.A. this weekend. Sutherland, who's also a documentary filmmaker, is as interesting himself as the subjects he chooses. A Chameleon-like style—though his lumber jack beard is consistent—and...

After an abbreviated Fashion Week photo show, the gallery is holding its grand opening tomorrow with "Made in Brooklyn," a exhibition from Marvel comic artist Juan Doe. Noted for illustrating...
