anne hardy . . .

British artist Anne Hardy constructs life-size sets that are rich in detail using a variety of materials often found in the street or in second-hand shops that hold precise position in her work. In each case, the result of this process is a single photograph, as the installations are then dismantled again. 

"I want to make photographs that create something other than pure reality.”
Anne Hardy interviewed by Elisabeth Krimbacher in Parnass, Issue 3, 2012

LEE FRIEDLANDER’S NEW YORK CITY MANNEQUINS


This week’s magazine—the Style Issue—includes a spread of images from Lee Friedlander’s recent series called “Mannequin.” From 2009 to 2011, Friedlander photographed shop-window dolls in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tucson, New Orleans, Newport, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Fraenkel Gallery, in San Francisco, exhibited the work earlier this summer and also published a catalog. This October, Pace/MacGill Gallery will exhibit it here in New York. Here’s a selection of photographs from New York City.

daniel kukla . . .

For close to a month last spring, the Brooklyn-based photographer Daniel Kukla lived alone in a cabin in the northwest corner of the national park. Armed with a camera, a large mirror and a painter’s easel, he set out at dawn or dusk every day to document the forces — human, environmental and geologic — that give the park its variety and vitality. Each of the resulting tableaux feature one landscape mirrored onto the backdrop of another, creating two opposing scenes in a single visual pane.

mickalene thomas . . .

Mickalene Thomas is currently exhibiting her series of art-historically inspired collaged photographs at Lehman Maupin Gallery in New York. She says of her work, “When I’m working with a historical image, I use photography as a way of capturing and reinterpreting the image. I take photographs and use them to create collages that further complicate my relationship with the historical source image.”
