Kim Keever at Feigen Contemporary
It's about time I actually talked about some photography again.
If you're real quick, you can catch Kim Keever's show at Feigen Contemporary which ends this Saturday. Keever's phantasmagoric landscapes are completely manufactured in his studio, yet are remeniscent of both American landscape painting of the 19th century and 1950s science fiction films. His photography fits in a cluster of recent shows featuring staged miniatures, including Thomas Allen's pulp fiction project, Corinne May Botz's "The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death", and Sarah Anne Johnson's "Tree Planting" which was recently covered in the Village Voice. Lori Nix is another photographer mining this vein. Nix's latest project, "Lost", will open at Alona Kagan Gallery in June.
Check out Keever's studio set-up.

Good catch -- I liked this one too. I also thought it was delightful the way she took usually 'perfect' c-prints and made an image that 'decayed'... subverting the medium...
Kim is a man's name, in this context...
Ah, yes. You are correct, Kim is a man in this case. Not sure how I missed all those male pronouns when I was researching this show, but my wife's name is Kim so I'm predisposed to think of Kim as a woman's name. Plus, Kim is very uncommon as a man's name in the US. Entry corrected, in any case.
yes, kim is a man in this case, but sometimes . . . .
Kim Keever is my cousin by marriage. I several pieces of his early works from the late 1970s to early 1980s, including three larger oils and several numbered prints. They were purchsed for investment and will be available for sale or auction in the near future. I am interested in any comments, suggestions or offers.
