 photo-eye Gallery Opening

Please join us for The Photographer's Showcase Exhibition Series Kickoff event, this Friday from 5-7pm featuring work by seven Photographer's Showcase Artists.
photo-eye Gallery, 376 Garcia Street, Santa Fe, New Mexico, is pleased to announce
THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S SHOWCASE SERIES KICKOFF, an exhibition of work by photographer's represented by The Photographer's Showcase at photoeye.com.
Nearly ten years ago, photo-eye conceived of an online gallery to show the work of talented emerging photographers. Over that time, photo-eye's juried online exhibition space has inspired imitators, but none can boast such a well-rounded and ever-expanding collection of fine art photography. Growing to include outstanding work from photographers across the globe, the Photographer's Showcase has established itself as a resource for curators and galleries, collectors, critics and photography enthusiasts, allowing our audience to discover and purchase exceptional photography.
While photo-eye Gallery has at times included work from Showcase artists in exhibitions, the Photographer's Showcase Series marks a new and exciting collaboration between the Photographer's Showcase and photo-eye Gallery. Over the coming year, photo-eye Gallery and the Photographer's Showcase are pleased to announce an on-going series of exhibitions featuring work from the Photographer's Showcase.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S SHOWCASE SERIES KICK OFF will feature work by seven Photographer's Showcase Artists,

Carlos Tarrats's Portfolio
"I have always been interested in the subjectivity of seeing. Like looking at inkblots or watching clouds. Visually I try to construct my images in a metaphorical and abstract way so that the viewer's imagination is free to explore and derive their own thoughts and conclusions independent of my own. Which is why, up until this point, the protagonists of my images have been plant life. I like to use flora because for the most part, it has no singular inherent meaning. And what meaning a particular species may have is typically not universal to all cultures or regions."—Carlos Tarrats

Susana Raab's The Chicken's Dilemma, London, Kentucky, 2006 was chosen as this week's staff pick by photo-eye Director, Rixon Reed.
"The physical remains of our mass-consumption litter the streets while the cheap foodstuffs pollute our bodies. All the while, the signs of fast food encroach upon us: advertisements and myths promote a brighter scenario allowing us to happily refuel at the drive-through window oblivious to the cycle that we perpetuate. Americans are slaves to an industry whose influence over our society we do not fully comprehend."— Susana Raab

Did You Save Those 3D Glasses for Creature from the Black Lagoon?
posted by Melanie McWhorter
Have lots of slightly macabre fun with the new website for the Iceman mummy. The website offers 12 different angle-shots, zoom function to view the body and the numerous tattoos up close. And possibly the best function of the website — provided you can acquire a pair of anaglyph glasses (cyan and red) — is the mummified remains in 3D...

Martin Parr: Witness No. 3—Signed
Limited quantities arriving in 2-4 weeks. Orders will be filled on a first come first served basis due to the very limited number of quantities available.
"Martin Parr is the subject and guest—editor of Witness Number 3. For his contribution to the series Parr unleashes his scorching humor in the series. 'Art World,' photographs made at art gallery and museum openings which reveal more about the art world than some may be comfortable with. This highly entertaining body of work is tempered by the somewhat gentler look at Sri Lanka, made in collaboration with Susie Parr, called 'Little England.' Parr rounds out this volume with a section called 'Three Ways to Make a Book,' which documents how photographers Rob Hornstra, Mark Neville, and Bart Sorgedrager were able to self-publish their own books; a presentation of portfolios by Japanese photographers Keizo Kitajama, Kohei Yoshiyuki, and Osamu Kanemura; and an interview with Parr conducted by Gerry Badger."—the publisher READ MORE

Roger Ballen: Boarding House—Signed
Signed copies arriving in late April.
"The altered sense of place of this temporary abode for by-passers who play out their sense of alienation on the stage gives the work depth of significance as both a psychological and aesthetic statement. Having evolved from and developed out of Roger Ballen's previous work, Boarding House differs significantly in that the work has become even more formally sophisticated and more focused on the drawing and sculptural elements of the photographs, and the sense of collaboration between the artist and his subjects increasingly evident."—the publisher READ MORE

Steve McCurry: The Unguarded Moment—Signed
Signed copies arriving in late April.
"The title of this book is a phrase that Steve McCurry uses a lot when talking about his work — he is always trying to capture those 'unguarded moments' when people are at their most unselfconscious and natural. McCurry takes photographs all over the world, for National Geographic magazine and his own projects, so this book includes the places, colours and forms of Yemen, Mali, Niger, Chad, India, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), France and the former Yugoslavia, among others."—the publisher READ MORE

Stefania Gurdowa: Negatives Are to Be Stored
Copies arriving in 2-4 weeks.
"Eleven years ago, at the attic of a tenement—house in the town of De;bica, there were discovered over a thousand of damaged glass negative plates. Most of them depicted expressive portraits of anonymous individuals living in the neighborhood in the 20's and 30's.
One could tell hardly anything about an author of the plates at the first look, although there was her name on them..."—the publisher READ MORE

Edward Hopper & Company
Not-yet-published, arriving in April.
"British author Geoff Dyer once surmised that Edward Hopper 'could claim to be the most influential American photographer of the twentieth century— even though he didn't take any photographs.' What we see in Hopper's paintings when we look at them through the lens of photography, and how, in turn, the language of photography was influenced by Hopper's work, are the twin subjects of Edward Hopper & Company."—the publisher READ MORE

Paul Martineau: Paul Outerbridge
Not-yet-published, arriving soon.
"Paul Outerbridge Jr. burst onto the photographic art scene in the early 1920's with images that were visually fresh, technically adept, and decidedly Modernist. He also applied his talent for composition to the commercial world, introducing an artist's sensibility to advertisements for men's haberdashery, glassware, and JELL—O for magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair . An early master of the technically complex carbro color process, he used it to photograph nudes, often shown with a variety of props—images that skirted the limits of propriety in their day.
This catalogue is produced for the first exhibition of Outerbridge's work since 1981, to be held March 31 through August 9, 2009, at the J. Paul Getty Museum."—the publisher READ MORE

Dave Hickey: The Invisible Dragon
More copies arriving in 1-2 weeks.
"The Invisible Dragon made a lot of noise for a little book When it was originally published in 1993 it was championed by artists for its forceful call for a reconsideration of beauty—and savaged by more theoretically oriented critics who dismissed the very concept of beauty as naive, igniting a debate that has shown no sign of flagging.
With this revised and expanded edition, Hickey is back to fan the flames. More manifesto than polite discussion, more call to action than criticism, The Invisible Dragon aims squarely at the hyper—institutionalism that, in Hickey's view, denies the real pleasures that draw us to art in the first place."—the publisher READ MORE
