I
recently created an image
for this upcoming group
exhibition
conceived of
and curated by Ethan Ham:
“Camera/Chimera”
Curated by Ethan Ham
at Gallery Aferro, Newark, New Jersey
September 12 - October 3, 2009.
Synopsis of the exhibition and bio of Ethan Ham from the Aferro website:
"Camera/Chimera
is a series of photographs,
each by a different artist.
The
artists are asked to replicate
the previous artist's photograph.
The
result is a visual game
of "Telephone" in
which the image slowly
(and
sometimes abruptly) mutates
through the process of recreation.
Ethan
Ham is a sculptor and installation
artist who often uses kinetics,
electronics,
and computers in his artwork.
His projects include Tumbarumba
and
Self-Portrait
(both commissioned by Turbulence.org),
Anthroptic (commissioned
by
The
Present Group), and Email
Erosion (commissioned by
Rhizome.org).
Ethan
is an Assistant Professor
of New Media at The City
College of New York."

A review by Alan Artner was published in the Chicago Tribune on Friday, March 6, 2009.
To read it please download the review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in the February 26th Issue:
"In
her extra-wry postmodern
photographic send-up of
the classical Dutch still-life
painting–redolent
with detailed depictions
of comestibles sufficient
to satiate any gourmand–Stephanie
Dean displays for our
delectation contemporary
treats,
such as tomatoes
bearing their identification
stickers, cheese bars
coated with wax
sporting
their nutritional information
labels, and plastic tubs
stuffed with hydroponic
lettuce.
At a distance,
the images do not betray
their ubiquitous signs
of commerce and are simply
intriguing and extravagant
arrangements of food,
but get a little closer
and the vestiges
of the
supermarket aisle are
all that you will be
able to see, and you are
guaranteed
to crack a
smile, if not break into
a chuckle. Dean’s
images are neither ads
nor beauty studies; they
are pure play spiced
with generous sprinkles
of biting irony."

On a sadder note, an aquiantance of mine, Joel Starr, whom I have known since the 5th grade, has recently passed away. He died in Brazil.
Joel was in the coffee business, but had many many other talents...Dj...videographer, great friend...... He was an amazing guy. He was creative, smart, compassionate, and had the warmest, most real smile.
Rest In Peace, Joel.
