Artist's Reception
Thursday, October 19, 2006, 6:00–8:00 pm
Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of color photographs by Tierney Gearon. Entitled The Mother Project, the exhibition will open on October 19, and close on November 25, with a reception for the artist on Thursday, October 19, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. This will be the artist's first exhibition at the gallery.
Tierney Gearon's most recent work, The Mother Project, is the culmination of a series spanning more than eight years. The artist continues to photograph her family, but now concentrates on her mother, who lives alone in a small town in upstate New York. The exhibition will include twenty-five 20” x 24” photographs set mainly in and around her mother's home. The images depict psychologically intense, often bizarre scenarios, some of which occur naturally and some of which are facilitated or encouraged by the artist. Many images include Gearon herself or one or more of the artist's children.
The subject of The Mother Project is the interaction between the artist, her mother and her own children. The photographs are personal studies of her family, yet raise larger issues of aging, mental illness, and the complicated dynamic of the mother-child relationship.
Tierney Gearon was recently the subject of a full-length documentary film entitled Tierney Gearon: The Mother Project. Produced by Jack Youngelson and Peter Sutherland, the documentary premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, will be screened at the upcoming Vancouver International Film Festival and CINEMA Rome Film Festival, and will air on Sundance Channel in 2007. In November, Steidldangin will publish a book of over 70 images from the project entitled Daddy, where are you?. Ms. Gearon's work has been exhibited at Saatchi Gallery, London, in 2001. She was born in Atlanta in 1963 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
