MARC MCVEY – PARIS IN B&W AND COLOR

Posted on 2025-07-28

“Paris is a city that has ignited the passions of artists for centuries. From painters and sculpturers, to writers, dancers, and musicians, Paris rewards all forms of efforts to memorialize her. From the early 1900s, the camera has allowed a new breed of artists to add their voice to describe this world city.

I have been lucky to “see” Paris over three decades and twenty plus visits. With my camera and a good pair of walking shoes, I am attempting to add my efforts to take you to this city and show you a few frames of what I have seen. My photographs reflect my personal vision and perhaps will inspire a smile or a pause in your day and a conversation later. Take a small journey with me, find a story or two with my images.”

THOMAS HOLTON – THE LAMS OF LUDLOW STREET

Posted on 2025-07-28

Since 2003, Holton has immersed himself in the life of the Lam family, capturing both the private and public dimensions of their world with an unfiltered, empathetic lens. What began as an artistic inquiry into his own Chinese heritage has evolved into a lifelong commitment to storytelling—one that reflects the complexities of family, migration, and cultural hybridity in contemporary America.

A lifelong New Yorker of mixed Chinese and American descent, Holton has long grappled with a sense of detachment from his Chinese roots. His photographic journey with the Lams became both a creative and personal act of connection, a way to bridge the gaps in his own identity through the lens of another family’s experiences. The resulting images document adolescence, marriage, resilience, and the quiet, unscripted moments that define family life.

LENI RIEFENSTAHL – OLYMPIA 1936

Posted on 2025-07-21

Olympia Through the Lens, is an exhibition featuring 25 original vintage exhibition quality prints by Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) from the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Known for her groundbreaking documentary two-part Olympia (released in 1938), Riefenstahl also produced a striking body of still photography during the Games. Her images captured athletes in motion and repose, employing innovative techniques that helped define modern sports photography.

This exhibition explores Riefenstahl’s visual legacy within the full historical and ethical context of the era. While her mastery of light, form, and composition is undisputed, her work remains controversial due to her ties to the Nazi regime and the propagandistic role her imagery played.

MERYL MEISLER – ON THE MONEY

Posted on 2025-07-21

Money talks, and in Meryl Meisler’s case, it wisecracks, reflects and reveals. In “On the Money”. Meisler’s work, dating from 1976 to 2025, many of which have never been seen before, takes us on a fast-paced ride through idioms, attitudes, and absurdities surrounding money. From “dirty money” to “funny money,” her images and wordplay dig beneath the clichés to ask: What are our relationships with money? And why is it still taboo to talk about it? This tongue-in-cheek mini-solo explores what we value, how we spend, and the price we pay – served with wit, wisdom, and a wink. Talking about money might be impolite, but Meisler is doing it anyway, and she’s making it funny, fabulous, and impossible to ignore.
