Posted on 2022-03-04

Internationally renowned, Sougwen Chung’s artistic practise uses software, sound, light and space to address the closeness between person-to-person and person-to-machine communication. Hand-drawn and computer-generated marks allow Chung to investigate the relationship between the physical and digital world.

A former research fellow at MIT’s Media Lab and a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration, Chung was selected in 2019 as the Woman of the Year in Monaco for achievement in the Arts & Sciences.

JERRY SCHATZBERG – 25TH & PARK

Posted on 2022-02-14

In 1957, only a few short steps from Fotografiska, Jerry Schatzberg set up his legendary studio at 333 Park Avenue South. These few blocks of Park Avenue South would loom large in the histories of US photography, pop music, fashion, cinema, theater, literature, and 1960s New York. The Schatzberg Studio became a veritable salon for dozens of luminaries who passed through its walls—and who were catapulted, by way of Schatzberg’s lens, into icons of the era. Among them were Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Sharon Tate, Catherine Deneuve, and Carmen De Lavallade.

Schatzberg’s mid-century work in fashion and portraiture is no mere reportage. It reveals a playful sensibility, a singular elegance, a streak of unpretentious humor culled from Schatzberg’s childhood years in the Bronx. They betray Schatzberg’s unquenchable, almost maniacal search for glamour, for glimmers that elevate the geniuses of his time out of their accomplishments and into a pictorially extraordinary ordinary.

Opposite – Rolling Stones in Drag, 1966

Exhibition runs through to March 5th, 2022
