LA-based, Philadelphia-born filmmaker and photographer Larry Yust combines 10 to 100 digital images to create giant "Photographic Elevations" up to eight feet long (pictured below, detail above).
Opening 24 September 2009 at the Lumas gallery, this will be Yust’s first show in New York City after solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and most notably the Louvre.
Featuring his infamous photos of the Paris Metro—featured in his oversized book where the images unfold into three-foot-long panoramas—the exhibition also includes shots of streets in Los Angeles, Havana and Berlin, as well as the canals in Venice. The colossal photos provide a feeling of involvement, as if the scene in the image is actually present (click on images for enlarged view).

by Anna Carnick Inspired by his friend James Dean, Dennis Hopper explains his new monograph this way, “I was doing something that I thought could have some impact someday. In many ways, it’s really these photographs that kept me going creatively." In 1955, an 18-year-old Hopper met 24-year-old Dean on the set of Rebel Without a Cause and the two became immediately inseparable. Prior...
Considering fashion a tool for creating artful images, over the last 30 years Simon Foxton has become one of the industry's most prominent and avant-garde menswear stylists—his body of work now encapsulated in the exhibition "When You're A Boy" at the Photographer's Gallery London. Never concerning himself with trends, but instead gathering inspiration from images found within magazines spanning National Geographic to porn, ironically...
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.

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.
