Mitch Epstein book signing at Yancey Richardson

By Todd on October 2, 2004 1:05 AM |

I really should have posted this earlier this week, but today Mitch Epstein will be signing copies of "Family Business," the folio for his show currently at Yancey Richardson gallery through October 16th. Two years ago, Epstein received a Guggenheim Fellowship for this work, which combines photography with video and multimedia. Many of his images exude the same oddball squalid despair seen in Alec Soth's Sleeping by the Mississippi.

The Guggenheim Fellowship Web site is hilariously bad. I found it amusing that the stipends are open to applicants in all fields "except the performing arts." Why make that one exception? Not that I disagree with it - I'm no fan of plays, musicals or dance - but it seems peculiarly mean to make one kid go sit in the corner like that while everyone else eats cake.

Book signing at noon, Oct. 2
Yancey Richardson Gallery
535 W. 22nd St
(646) 230-9610
