Nick Brandt “A Shadow Falls”

Stunning monotone photographs of wildlife in Africa by photographer Nick Brandt.

The english photographer presents ‘A Shadow Falls’ a series of incredible photos from East Africa. These are all the more valuable as nature seems to be fighting a loosing battle, and is loosing more with everyday that passes. This follows his critically acclaimed first series ‘On This Earth’.

His work is more than Animal Photography, his protagonists come across as far too human, carefully captured in cinematic settings. Those that wish to help Nick protect this unique living environment should click on TUSK.ORG

Photographer Sophie Delaporte (*1971, Paris) studied Photography and Film at the Louis Lumiere School in her hometown. After graduation she moved to London and began attracting attention through her first editorials in the early 90s for i-D . Her work can now be admired in magazines ranging from Vogue to Another Magazine.

On the 17th of September, to coincide with New York fashion week, the Michele Filomeno agency are launching an exhibit that’s a must-see if you love fashion photography and you happen to be in NYC…

It’s called Early Fashion Work, and it’s a photo exhibit of some of the most emblematic works by fashion photographer Sophie Delaporte. It’s the first exhibit dedicated exclusively to Delaporte, and it’ll be open until the 30th of October in the Sous Les Etoiles Gallery.

Tina Berning
100 Girls On Cheap Paper + The Passengers

Gallery Hanahou is celebrating the release of Tina Berning’s new edition of her sold out classic book ‘100 girls on cheap paper’. At the same time the gallery is presenting the second solo show of the renowned artist in New York: ‘The Passengers’. ‘This body of works has its origins in Tina Berning’s 2009 solo exhibition in Munich titled ‘The Listeners.’ The works from that show have grown and evolved as they travel to New York, becoming ‘The Passengers’.

With ‘The Passengers’ Tina Berning continues to explore the relationships between conditioned aesthetics and supposed subjective ambition in the canon of contemporary visuals. The drawings formulate the artist’s own images of the human body, its inadequacy and its fundamental relation to self-determination. Tina Berning releases figures out of their heteronomous, medial contexts and shifts them into an interplay between voyeurism and exhibitionism. She uses her paintings and drawings as carriers to extricate subjects from the contemporary alienated incapacitation. Codes and matrices blanket faces, streaks of colour lie like shadows over the delicate silhouettes. Interventions that follow Tina Berning’s study to open the plainness of shemes into the ambiguity of expression. She makes subtle corrections to the standard, uniform face and figure, enabling a look of physical expressiveness to return. Even when they appear fragile and vulnerable, the faces and images of the people take on a form that is more resistive.

gallery hanahou is delighted to welcome you to the exhibition opening on Thursday, September 10th, 2009 at 6 p.m.

gallery hanahou will also host a talk with the artist open to the public on Saturday, September 12th, at 2 p.m.

A magazine X Proenza Schouler

{Comments 0}

A MAGAZINE is a biannual publication, exploring the creative sphere of a selected designer in each issue. We invite a guest curator – an international fashion designer, group or house – to develop innovative, personalised content that expresses their aesthetic and cultural values.
Each issue celebrates this designer’s ethos: their people, their passion, their stories, emotions, fascinations, spontaneity and authenticity. As such A MAGAZINE exists as an entirely dynamic title – a cultural statement for individuality in an increasingly homogenous industry.

For the new issue Proenza Schouler designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough guest-edited the latest issue of A Magazine. The theme is “America” because, the design duo noticed, they are the first Americans to guest-edit an issue. The end result is a mix of American landscapes, art, and fashion. See some images from the issue in the slideshow.
