Phillip Toledano Takes Klompching with “A New Kind of Beauty”.
It’s the start of the gallery school year, and the coolest place to be tonight is surely DUMBO’s Klompching Gallery, where Phillip Toledano is having the first solo exhibition of his project A New Kind of Beauty. The austere portraits are part Vermeer, part futuristic.
May I Live Vicariously, Gabriela Herman?
You had me at the baby horse.
Chris Lamarca Turns to Motion with BOONE.
Lamarca is embedded on a Portland goat farm, capturing the daily struggle of the farmers. It’s called BOONE, which I think is a first rate name. Sounds sort of like “Brigadoon”. Sounds like something is gonna happen there.
Jan Schreiber: Somewhere Between the Shores.
Excellent mailbag submission today. This is from Jan Schreiber, who is hopping cargo ships and making beautiful, hazy, watery work.
Tulips on a Scanner and Sand in the Living Room.
I hate it when I go to the beach and then for weeks afterward there’s sand in the bed. You just can’t get rid of it. So it must be REALLY galling to have sand in your house like this. Dyson hasn’t a prayer.
Christine Caldwell Gets Crafty.
You know who makes magic images from nature without a camera? Christine Caldwell. She uses some good old plants and animal bits and a good old enlarger and then *POOF*! SUPER MAGIC.
Sneaky Scott Linstead Gets the Shot.
Telegraph has alerted me to the watchful eye and clever photography of Scott Linstead, and I’m impressed.
Nicolai Howalt’s Car Crash Studies
I’ve also been thinking about car crashes a lot recently for some reason, I don’t know why. And this work brings to mind for me A Clockwork Orange. I also don’t know why.
Jane Alden Stevens’ Apples.
It’s a little bit steamy out today. Let’s have a piece of fruit with Jane Alden Stevens.
Abandoned Places, Military Ruins, and Ghosts.
Things I’m a sucker for: grape leaves, cherry garcia, red accessories, sally mann, apple products, subarus, mamiya 7s, and nighttime photography of strange abandoned places.
