Sharing their unique perspectives on the world, ten artists make up a new photography exhibit on New York's Upper West Side. Nestled in a long-vacant storefront at 25 Central Park West, the photographs represented in "10 from 25: Emerging Artists Using Photography" showcase a series of new approaches and attitudes toward the traditional medium of photography from artists Angela Beallor, Teresa Christiansen, Bess Greenberg, Kim Kremer, Rebecca (Marks) Leopold, Jamie Lund, Paul Qaysi, Hyla Skopitz, Adam Ward and Alyssa Taylor Wendt.
25CPW, an artist-run space intended to be a place for curators, writers, educators, and artists themselves to interact, explore and learn, make up the "25" part of the title.
The inaugural exhibition at the newly-created gallery aims to "challenge photographic representation" and the "depiction of identity within a changing technological landscape."

Brothers, artists and Colorado natives Andrew and Peter Sutherland are having their first ever show together, called "Amateur Hour" and opening tonight at NYC's ATM gallery.

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...

Featuring his infamous photos of...
by Anna Carnick The upcoming retrospective at NYC's Museum of Modern Art explores the career of Tim Burton, whose talent has led him to transform often frightening notions—death, loneliness, the apocalypse—into charmingly approachable forms, creating strange worlds that closely mirror our own, but with all the appropriate Burton-esque accoutrements. The creative mastermind behind films like "Edward Scissorhands," "Beetle Juice," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "9"...
