Exposition : Gail Albert Halaban à La Belle Juliette
Communiqué de presse de La Belle Juliette & Galerie Esther Woerdehoff
De New York à Paris, la nouvelle exposition de La Belle Juliette présente les œuvres de la photographe américaine Gail Albert Halaban.
Dans ses séries Out My Window, à New York, puis Vis à Vis, à Paris, Gail Albert Halaban photographie la ville et ses immeubles, et leurs habitants mis en scène dans la banalité de leur vie quotidienne. Paysages urbains spectaculaires où les appartements semblent s’éclairer comme des petits théâtres lumineux, ses œuvres dévoilent les particularités architecturales et culturelles des quartiers et des citadins. La photographe porte un regard original sur les villes et nous offre une visio... - Exposition
Gail Albert Halaban presents « Hopper Redux » at the Edwynn Houk Gallery
Edwynn Houk Gallery will be exhibiting new photographs by the New York based photographer, Gail Albert Halaban (b 1970, Washington D.C.). Hopper Redux is Halaban’s most recent series, reimagining the famous watercolors by Edward Hopper in and around Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Edward Hopper has served as an important historical precedent for Halaban’s work, and his influence is made explicit in this new series. She photographs the exact locations in Gloucester where Hopper painted in the 1920s, and her photographs of these same homes elicit an uncanny familiarity. While the images echo his watercolors, they are decidedly photographic and of the present day; the houses oscillate between the historical past and the contemporary present. Through dramatic lighting and meticulous placements of props and peo... - Exposition
Food for thought - Robert Mann Gallery
Including works by a wide range of twentieth and twenty-first century artists, Food for Thought: A Group Exhibition surveys a range of photographs that are testament to our insatiable appetite for feasting and photography. The exhibition will include images with food as a common thread ranging from classical still lives to commercial commissions advertising their wares to surreal assemblages. What unites these very disparate registers of photographic production is the camera's seductive power to enliven the objects before it's lens, or conversely, for the objects to appeal themselves to the camera's powers. Amidst well-known masters of the genre such as Irving Penn and Paul Outerbridge, photographers such as Ansel Adams best known for their achievements in other areas line up alongside contemporary artists ... - Exposition
New York Photographs - Sexy and the City
Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce Sexy and the City, a summer group show on view from Thursday, July 9, through Friday, August 28, 2009.
Sexy and the City shows the alluring, romantic and sometimes scandalous side of New York's people and places. Capturing private, intimate moments and blatant displays of sexuality, these photographs span the decades from the 1940s to the present day, taken in landmark locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and in the quiet, out-of-the-way corners of the city.
From Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic image of a kissing couple in Times Square on V-J Day, 1945, to Nan Goldin's drag queen on an anonymous New York street in the 1990s, from Garry Winogrand's topless woman surrounded by a crowd in Central Park to the homosexual couples photographed by Alvin Baltr... - Exposition
Right Through the Very Heart of It
Right Through the Very Heart of It contrasts the icons and idiosyncrasies of New York, from the "vagabond shoes" to the "top of the heap," captured by some of the greatest photographers to roam these concrete streets.
Many of the medium's greatest innovators have made their name photographing the denizens and architecture that define our dear city. But such a diverse environment necessitates representing the grit as much as the glamour. In particular the exhibition will highlight sweeping vistas, architectural studies, street photography and street portraiture.... - Exposition
Gail Albert Halaban - Out my window
In her latest series, Out My Window, Gail Albert Halaban has ventured into the private spaces of New York City, photographing its inhabitants and the views that define their lives. In a world framed by windows, there is both an intimacy and remoteness in the proximity of so many strangers. Though the archetype of the photographer training her lens on her neighbor is easily associated with the voyeurism of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, the experience Albert Halaban records is far less menacing. In as much as we are aware of our display, the city is also on display to us. Window and camera are inextricably bound in the framing of a world.
New York is iconically identified with the view, and particularly the skyline—those swathes of horizon and bands of light pierced by familiar skyscrapers. But as often as not, th...
