30.25″ x 36.25″ Archival pigment print, silkscreen ink, dibond

From the Thierry Goldberg gallery press release written by Antwaun Sargent:

In the time of pandemic and protest, the poet and photographer Kevin Claiborne is asking urgent, necessary questions. They are the questions long unanswered, that have placed Black people at the center of this moment, where they are disproportionately affected. His relentless performance of inquiry is the project, “BLACKNESS IS” (2020–), that sees his questions married to landscapes in an admixture that form images that represent, what he calls, the “body as border:”

Nocturne
Sebastiaan Bremer
Edwynn Houk Gallery
Feb 13 – Mar 21

Sebartiaan Bremer: Storm Breaking Over a Valley – Triptych, 2020
from Nocturne at Edwinn Houk Gallery
(3) archival pigment prints, paint, ink.

From the Edwynn Houk Gallery press release:

Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Sebastiaan Bremer (Dutch, b. 1970). Nocturne marks the debut of several series of portraiture that Bremer has been developing over the course of the past two years, culminating in the monumental triptych, Storm Breaking Over a Valley, 2020. Each unique image in the exhibition is characterized by Bremer’s meticulously hand painted white pointillist dots, however these three new series are distinct in the evolution of the techniques used, as he continues to push the bounds of his hybrid creative process.

Fotografiska New York

If you’re not aware of what Fotografiska is don’t feel like you’ve been living under a rock. Most of us (NY’ers that is) can’t even pronounce the name properly let alone be held accountable for not realizing that this group took up residence on 22nd & Park Avenue South and now is poised to take over the world with their gigantor-scale museum/restaurant/book store/cafe/wellness chapel/event space/mega-photographic exhibition hall theme park … (and we mean that in a nice way).

Now, if you don’t know who Danny Clinch is then, well … maybe you have been living under a rock. And we mean that in the most gentle “you need to get out more” kind of way.

Either way – here’s your big chance to check out the newest game in town (Fotografiska) and one of the longest running hardest working names in show business, our man, Danny Clinch … and all in one easy take. Clinch’s pop-up “Amplifier” exhibition/gallery literally christened Fotogafiska’s 5th floor event space on December 14th (their opening weekend). Of course, we were there to enjoy the show(s) – meaning both photographic and musical — and also to review a bit of our own handiwork, having produced a number of pieces for the exhibition.

The man himself, performing with Brooklyn’s Antibalas

Danny is arguably one of our oldest customers … and easily one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Fotografiska is the newest thing going and their future looks quite bright. We consider ourselves lucky to be associated with these fine folks on every count.

From the Sies + Höke press release:

Corey, Donna, Jane, Daphne, Giuliana, Ever, Jochem, Eric, Chris, unknown, and myself is an exhibition of portraits taken from 1995-2019 by Talia Chetrit. Spanning several decades these eight photographs move us across an uncanny breadth of staged and unstaged portraits— a test photo from a fashion shoot, a portrait of a body-cast from an ancient archeological site dated 79AD, self-portraits in the artist’s home, legendary muses backstage. The edit of these photos for the participatory space of the gallery functions as an analog to the contemporary conditions of image-making and image-viewing, a grouping for which a single time-stamp can open our curiosity, and also lay flat against a network of unrelated meanings, both within the exhibition itself and within photography itself.

CYBERNOIR
Dave Krugman
Sony Square NYC
April 12 – May 22

Dave Krugman: Love is a Color from CYBERNOIR at Sony Square NYC
20 x 30 archival pigment print on Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl 260gsm paper

Dave Krugman brought his widely followed brand of imaging (286k followers on Instagram!!!) to Sony Square NYC last month for his first solo exhibition of photographs. Krugman is no stranger to Sony, he’s an active Sony Alpha Imaging Collective member and shot every image presented with Sony Alpha cameras.

Not just a photographer, Dave presents himself as a Social Media Consultant to his varied and prestigious clients that range from Jaguar & Prada to Ducatti and the Hawaii Tourism board. So as expected for someone who professes on his website: “I build and foster social communities” — his opening was anything but a standard affair.

Dave Krugman: opening night of CYBERNOIR
Sony Square NYC

Sony Square NYC stepped up with a number of features not normally seen together at a photography opening including camera & equipment demonstrations, a wacky sound cloud listening station, two digital photo booths, an excellent DJ plus delicious food and a well stocked open bar! The effect was as close to a futuristic photo-carnival atmosphere as one could imagine complete with a massive projection of video capture from Dave’s Sony Alpha cameras!

That said the rooms seemed to be packed with friends & family and one of the highlights of the evening was witnessing Krugman deliver as touching and heartfelt speech as any we’ve ever heard at an opening — thus nicely cementing his “builder of communities” moniker in the most personal of ways.

New, Used, Rare and Out of Print
Richard Finkelstein
Robert Mann Gallery
September 13 – October 20

From the Robert Mann Gallery Press Release:

Robert Mann Gallery presents a new body of work by Richard Finkelstein in his third solo show with the gallery, New, Used, Rare and Out of Print. Known for his cinematic world of miniature dioramas, Finkelstein explores a new direction in his work that focuses on the manipulation and transformation of books. He investigates the materiality of the books as he documents their reactions against water, paint, folding and cutting … cont.

L: Come Wander with Me
R: A Fine Balance

… the photographs in this series were both intended and unintended. While working with the texts related to the myth by Ovid, Joyce and others, Finkelstein initially immersed them in coffee to age them and have them appear as ancient texts. But as the first books dried, the pages curled and molded themselves into new forms, assumed other shapes and then hardened, causing Come Wander With Me to emerged. The books transformed into a sculptural medium. They had lost their specific identity as the words became distorted or even hidden therefore erasing the past message of the books. The stories and titles which caused the artist to select them were no longer identifiable.

I Got a Gallery / I Got a Show
Jonathan Mannion
Compound
September 12 – October 12

To hear Jonathan Mannion tell it — I Got a Gallery / I got a Show is the result of a simple conversation between himself and Set Free Richardson, the founder of Compound in the Bronx that went pretty much as you read it: Free said “I got a Gallery” and Mannion replied “I got a show” … or something like that, anyway.

Jonathan Mannion: I Got a Gallery / I Got a Show, Compound, opening night, 2018

What we get from this is an extraordinary meeting of the minds: Mannion is well known for his imaging contribution to hip hop culture — he’s a legend already and does not appear to be slowing down one bit. Set Free Richardson is something like a cultural ambassador at this point with his on-target Compound that is part Agency, part Art Gallery, part Retail Shop and full-on cultural vortex … all neatly nestled in shadow of the 3rd Avenue bridge, AKA South Bronx.
