Check out this nice write-up of our friend Joshua Citarella’s photography, which is currently on view at Higher Pictures in NYC.

2012 Recipient for Art: Stan Douglas

Photo by Walead Beshty

Stan Douglas was born in 1960 in Vancouver, where he continues to live and work. Since the late 1980s, he has created films, photographs, and installations that reexamine particular locations or past events. His works often take their points of departure in local settings, from which broader issues can be identified. Making frequent use of new as well as outdated technologies, he appropriates existing Hollywood genres (including murder mysteries and the Western) and borrows from classic literary works (notably Samuel Beckett, Herman Melville, and Franz Kafka) to create ready-made contextual frameworks for his complex, thoroughly researched projects. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at prominent institutions worldwide and many major museum collections hold his work. His awards include the inaugural Hnatyshyn Foundation Visual Arts Award (2007) and the Bell Award in Video Art (2008).

Check out this nice piece on Lucas in Beautiful/Decay.
New York-based artist Lucas Blalock constructs images that are photographed in film and then uses digital overlapping and editing to distort. The work’s overlapping elements, merging and mutilation of pattern and playfulness of colour show Blalock’s clear experimentation with humour and absurdity.

	martha rosler: cuba, january 1981 April 20 – May 26
	Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce cuba, january 1981, an exhibition of photographs by Martha Rosleropening Friday, April 20 at 534 West 26th Street. This series of color and black-and-white images, including several diptychs, will be on view for the first time. In early 1981, Rosler joined a group of artists and intellectuals on a cultural tour around the island from Havana to Camagüey, Santiago, and Trinidad, and points in between. She photographed shops, buildings, and people, as well as the posters and billboards that punctuated the roads and urban spaces. Bracketed chronologically by Rosler’s well-known photo-text work The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems(1974/75) and her influential essay In, around and afterthoughts (on documentary photography) (1981), this series takes its place alongside Rosler’s photographs of airports, roads, shop windows, and public transportation as part of a career-long photographic practice. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, April 20, 6-8 pm.
