I’m thrilled to be participating in the 2010 Madarts Open Studios this coming weekend. I have had a productive year with my work and am eager to share it with the public!

On display will be the limited edition run of my self-published Of and In Cities (see cover above). The book was designed by Erich Nagler and with essays by Christina Ray, Estefanía Sokoloff and Miodrag Mitrasinovic. An official book launch will follow in late May but signed & numbered copies will be available this weekend.

I will also have copies of Cross Urban, a book that documents my ongoing collaborative dyptichs (below is "Interdigitate") with Klaus Fruchtnis.

Finally, I will also be showing the beginning works in Fachadas, a new photography series with screenprint on glass and from Stretched, panoramic prints which collapse times into space (see below Stretched #2 (Prince St.).

I am told it will feel like spring again this weekend, so make a plan out of spending the day in Park Slope, and stop by!

The Festival Internacional de la Imagen in Manizales, Colombia, is in its ninth year.  I was delighted to have my two slow motion videos – Trianon (Cabelo) and Estação da Luz (Linha) – screened at this year’s exhibition in mid-April.

I’m also happy to be participating in a Bicentennial of the Americas exhibition in Bogota with my work Pompidou from Above, 6 Seconds.

I am delighted to participate in the inaugural exhibition, “Shot”, at the new Dumbo-based Giacobetti Paul Gallery.

I will be showing all new work (prints, lightboxes and video) shot in Brazil and which builds on my ongoing project on commuters.  In the show are works with images taken in the Sao Paulo airport, the small ferry station in Bom Despacho, the historical Estação Da Luz train station, and other public spaces with commuters. I am interested in these spaces for their strong relationship to time, and have used my own commutes and global travels as brief, often rushed, artist “residencies” in which I capture anxiety, rush, linger, movement and most importantly, time.

In my light boxes, sequences of images that could be collaged digitally to create one print are instead presented as physically collaged, almost sculptural, backlit objects. They are thick photographs that require time to view, appreciate, and understand.  They encourage the art viewer to slow down and take as much time as is encapsulated in the artifact, to view it.  In this show I will also have a pair of slow videos which challenge the rapidly moving images that constantly surround us and again are an invitation to experience my time behind the camera and in that particular space, in the viewing of slowly moving loops which don’t seem to have a beginning nor an end.

My work “28 Days” is part of a Colombian video art exhibition currently up in the Espacio Fundación Telefónica in Buenos Aires.  Let me know if you are able to see the show since unfortunately I won’t be able to travel!
