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!

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.

Mi obra “28 Days” es parte de una exposición de video arte colombiano que está siendo presentada en el Espacio Fundación Telefónica en Buenos Aires.  Avísenme si vio la exposición ya que desafortunadamente no podré viajar!

I am thrilled to announce the solo exhibition of my photographic series outsideIn at Naidre’s Cafe in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.  On view will be a selection from the series, printed at 9in. tall x 24in. wide

Please email me directly if you would like to have dinner together after the opening, or if you would like to meet there for coffee or tea at another time!

Madarts Studios is delighted to celebrate the grand opening of our shiny new Park Slope art gallery with the exhibition: INTRO. All forty artists of Madarts make the line up in the salon style exhibition (I will have a new light box of which the above image is a digital rendering) to christen our new permanent gallery in the heart of Park Slope: 461 5th Ave. – right on the corner 5th Ave. and 10th St.Stop in to see the very first show at the newly opened storefront and have wine and cheese with world class artists who may happen to be your neighbor.

The exhibition opens at 6pm sharp with a 10pm ‘meet the artists’ after-party at Commonwealth Bar just down the street at 5th Ave. and 12th St. INTRO gallery hours will be Thurdays through Sundays from noon to 6pm, closing Sunday, August 9th.

Besides several new food and drink offerings in striking distance, it’s an easy destination: R train to Prospect Ave. or F train at 4th Ave. and 9th St. get you there in as little as two blocks. Madarts is located just above Fifth Ave. on 18th St. between Fifth and Sixth Ave. The nearest subway stop is Prospect Ave. on the R line. Exit the station using the stairs on the left. Walk straight from the stairs on Fourth Ave. to 18th St. Make a left at 18th St. Cross Fifth Ave. Look for a large white industrial building. Enter at the girded glass window front filled with greenery.

Madarts Studios consists of 40 painting, sculpture, photography, video/film and music studios, a woodshop and a darkroom. More than an artists building it is an international group of very committed, well educated and experienced professionals, widely shown and entirely focused on honing their talents and finding their place in the world of fine arts. 2009 is a very important year for the group. With the relocation of the gallery to Broome Street in The Lower East Side the work will be seen by many more critics, curators and art buyers. With the addition of another project in the heart of France and a number of studios in Manhattan the strength of the group should make for a stimulating work environment, stronger work and a vital and fascinating gallery. The Giacobetti-Paul Gallery, named after the architects of the project, will open this summer. Please check the website for more information.
