Foggy nights bring out my best side.
Aliki Braine, âMasterpiece in 10 Coloured Dots (after Velazquez),â mixed media, 15 x 10 cm, 2013
âPhotography is at the same point that painting was with Abstract Expressionism in the 1940s: we see a material photograph, we donât just see an image.âÂ
- Braine, in POST-PHOTOGRAPHY: THE ARTIST WITH A CAMERA (by Robert Shore), page 11
Andrea Modica, Treadwell
âANDREA MODICA: FROM TREADWELL TO FOUNTAINÂ
For fifteen years we watched her grow up: a cherub faced seven year old sitting at the foot of her mother; a pre-pubescent staring at her frolicking sister in the grass with her boyfriend; a poised odalisque, preening for the camera in her bedroom; a grimacing, teasing and playful obese young woman, who shared herself with the artist and her camera. Through Barbara, Andrea Modica found her focus and collaborator in Treadwell, an acclaimed body of work and book, published in 1996. Treadwell, a town in upstate New York, became the fictitious playground for an extended family who accepted the Brooklyn born Modica (and her 8 x 10" view camera) as a friend.
In 1998, Modica relocated to Colorado. With Barbara more than 1500 miles away, Modica needed a new subject and found herself drawn to a family run slaughterhouse and ultimately the family itself. Like Treadwell, Fountain became a backdrop for a collaboration that took Modica from the floors of the slaughterhouse to the family basement, where a group of children would act out their dreams and experiences for the photographer. Like Treadwell, Fountain granted us access into a rural American family, whose trust in the photographer resulted in images which are both intimate and unnerving, stunning yet unsettling.
Although still living in Colorado, Modica continued to make several trips back to New York to photograph Barbara, who lost her battle with juvenile diabetes in 2001 at the age of 22. Barbara, published in 2004, recorded the final years of Barbaraâs life in close-up blurred portraits of a woman passing from one world into another. These pictures, along with images from Treadwell and Fountain, will be on exhibit in âFrom Treadwell to Fountain.ââ

Elisabeth Hogeman, Geographic Tongues
âThese photographs re-imagine the Earth depicted in the exterior panels of Hieronymus Boschâs panel painting The Garden of Earthly Delights as a series of âgeographic tongues.â By replacing the globe as a representation of the world, these tongues play with the idea that the world emerges from language.Â
Boschâs depiction of the creation of the world includes an inscription taken from the PsalmsââFor He spoke and it was made; for He commanded and it was created.â* Through this inscription Bosch insinuates that the world is one big utterance. Being severed, these tongues cannot speak. But in their vegetative state, they yield their own geographies.Â
Geographic Tongues was made as part of the Munn Artist Residency in Giverny, France, funded by the Versailles Foundation.Â
*Note: translation from the Latin of the original inscription: ipse dixit, et facta sunt: ipse mandavit, et creata suntâ

Lydia Moyer, The Teardrinkers at the Crowâs Nest
âSix channel video installation in a restored hay barn at the Crow's Nest Preserve in Warwick, PA.
2011 was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. A good deal of media attention was paid to how the exclusion zone around the site has largely reverted to wilderness in the absence of humans. Animal populations have thrived and in some cases, long-gone species have returned, despite high levels of radiation.
The Tear Drinkers is based around three predator/prey pairs. The manner in which the animals are rendered is meant to suggest irradiation, a reference to how natural life continues, though altered, in the face of disaster. The projections play with how technology can be used to re-animate creatures caught in the still-death of photographs, transforming them into ghost-like, man-made approximations of the real thing.â
New work inspiration.
