IN YOUR PLACE

Posted on 2009-03-23

The Selby is in your Place by Todd Selby started in June 2008 with this simple premise: exploring the ways one’s personal space reflects one’s personality, documenting creative people in their creative environment.

Todd set out to photograph and document his friends in their respective environment and began posting daily the recording of these sessions on a website, aptly named The Selby . Friends were soon followed by friends of friends —authors, actors, curators, directors, painters, performers and designers, filmed and photographed in their odd, fun, quirky, bohemian, clean, colorful, messy, irreverent, intimate, and always surprising spaces. By mid-summer, the site was garnering up to 30,000 hits a day, its subjects spanning New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Mexico, London and Paris. Now showing at Colette until May 2nd, 2009

DIY CAMERA

Posted on 2009-03-23

We love this DIY build your own working 35mm camera from Plamodel. Its a flash-less camera but you do get to have fun with an art project and a camera all rolled into one! Camera parts come separated, and it’s your job to snap them all together to create a sleek, functional 35mm camera.
Assembly takes a couple of hours and simple instructions are included. Modifications are easy (to create a completely unique camera!); wide angle 28 mm lens takes rich, perfectly imperfect photos. Takes 35mm film that can be developed just about anywhere!

The Michael Hoppen Gallery is honoured to host the first European retrospective of work by Miyako Ishiuchi, Japan’s foremost female photographer. Taking over both floors of the gallery, it will be the first time images from the series ‘Mother’s’ (2000-2005), ‘1906 To the Skin’ (1991-1993) and ‘Yokosuka Story’ (1976-1977) have been shown in Britain.

The exhibition was organized and produced by Langhans Galerie Praha, a non-profit organization for the promotion of photography, and will be accompanied by the limited edition book MIYAKO ISHIUCHI, edited by Machiel Botman and published by Manfred Heiting.
Printed in the form of a leporello within a slipcase, the book will be available exclusively from Michael Hoppen Gallery

INTO THE SUNSET

Posted on 2009-03-16

A new photography exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art explores the lure of the West for photographers, which began around 1840 when the first American camera patent was issued. Comprised of over 150 images, it presents an up-to-date view, as seen by 75 photographers whose images have made and continue to define the region a place for “discoverers, dreamers, and drifters” featuring the work of approximately seventy photographers, including Robert Adams, John Baldessari, Dorothea Lange, Timothy O’Sullivan, Cindy Sherman, Joel Sternfeld, Edward Weston, and Carleton E. Watkins.

Opposite – South of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Stephen Shore and Nicole, Crissy Field Parking Lot, Katy Grannan.

This exhibition runs until the 8th of June, 2009
