July Gallery Crawl
Here are the July gallery picks. Group shows are in full force, but I like that. As usual, I've made a handy Google Map.
Evolution of the Digital Portrait
Everyday by Noah Kalina
Nancy Burson, Aziz + Cucher, Loretta Lux, Ruud van Empel, Jill Greenberg, Simen Johan, Jake Rowland, Marc Yankus, EJ Major, Gregory Scott and Noah Kalina
Noah Kalina's everyday is one of YouTube's greatest hits, now canonized in a $50 limited edition DVD.
Through Aug 17 ClampArt
521-531 West 25th St
(646) 230-0020
Road Trip
Luke Barber-Smith, Jinkee Choi, Linda Ganjian, Birgitta Lund, Eric Payson, Don Porcella, Kathryn Refi, Marie Sauvaitre, Joseph Smolinski, Zoë Sonenberg, Amy Stein, Ann Tarantino, and Carlo Vialu
Some non-photography mixed in there (or is it photography mixed in with the non-photography?) Four images from Amy Stein's Stranded series make the scene.
Through Aug 10 at Mixed Greens
531 W 26th St
(212) 331-8888
Easy Rider
A cast of thousands, seemingly. Not sure how it all is going to fit in the gallery. Jeff Brouws, Tim Davis, William Eggleston, Mitch Epstein, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Allen Ginsberg, Frank Gohlke, Ernst Haas, Todd Hido, Jodie Vicenta Jacobson, Lisa Kereszi, Justine Kurland, William Lamson, Dorothea Lange, Danny Lyon, Nathan Lyons, Christian Patterson, Mike Smith, Ed Ruscha, Lise Sarfati, Vicki Sambunaris, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Solomon, Alec Soth, Mark Steinmetz, Joel Sternfeld, and Garry Winogrand and others. Apparently Robert Frank hates the Internet.
Through Sept 8 at Yancey Richardson
535 W 22nd St, 3rd Flr
(646) 230-9610
Stephen Shore
Biographical Landscape: The Photography of Stephen Shore, 1969-79
On Father's Day, we were having lunch around the corner from ICP. So much of Shore's work's been on display over the past year or two I didn't feel the need to poke my head in, but I did hit the bookstore and grab a copy of Uncommon Places.
Through Sept 9 at International Center of Photography
1133 6th Ave
(212) 857-0000
Degrees of Separation
The site doesn't have but one example of what's on display, but that one shot was interesting enough to me to put it on the list. About 80% of the photographers included in the show are unknown to me, so that's always a good opportunity to broaden my view.
Through Sept 8 at Peer
526 W 26th St, Suite 209
(212) 741-6599
Roswell Angier
Highway 66, Gallup, 1979 by Roswell Angier
A black and white companion to Shore's color photography, taken in roughly the same era and in similar environs. Which is not to say there is any actual connection between them; that's just a lazy late-night analysis.
Through July 28 at Gitterman Gallery
170 E 75th St
(212) 734-0868
Chen Jiagang
Through Aug 4th at ChinaSquare Art Center
545 W. 25th St, 8th Flr
(212) 255-8886
