Lauren Henkin — Still Standing, Standing Still Limited Edition

Lauren Henkin's third handmade book, Still Standing, Standing Still documents Henkin's obsessive interest in a tree. "Slowly — around and around and around — I examined it in varying light and perspective. It was alone, with its scars unclothed, threatened by vines, but still standing," she says of her subject. The versatile book is a beautiful creation, and it is also available in remarkable limited edition. Exceptional care and thought went into the design of the book and limited edition, the extent of which is best shared in Henkin's own words. She was kind enough to tell us how this beautiful object came to be.

Is This Place Great or What

"Brian Ulrich's book is great, and a real downer. If you resisted President Bush's exhortations to shop America back to health after the events of 9-11-01, you may already be in line with the photographer. His Copia series, dating from 2001-2011, makes up the meat of this book. With mordant glee, the photographs insinuate that a decade of shopping has made us no better off; in fact, the rock we've been trying to shoulder up hill is flattening us. " — George Slade from the review of Is This Place Great or What

A Girl and Her Room

"I like Rania Matar's new monograph A Girl and Her Room more and more each time I move through this bright series of portraits of teenage girls, at home in their most private and personalized spaces. The initial pull of these often chaotic images of girls and their stuff yields to a nuanced look at that space between child and adult, innocence and self-awareness. This series began close to home for Matar, who has photographed her own daughters from childhood to adolescence. " — Karen Jenkins from the review of A Girl and Her Room

Muses Vol. 1

"Pau Wau Publication's anthology Muses Volume I is as unique as it is provocative. The book, if we choose to call it that, is an envelope compiling the works of five photographers, all reflecting on the idea of a 'muse.' Each photographer is given their own chapbook within the envelope; this is a great quality, the photographers seem to stand alone while being linked by common themes." — Christopher Johnson from the review of Muses Vol. 1

Exhibition Opening: Kelli Connell's Double Life

photo-eye Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of photographs by Kelli Connell from her series Double Life. The exhibition runs May 8th through June 30th with an artist reception on June 1st from 4:30-6:30pm in photo-eye Gallery, 376A Garcia Street, Santa Fe. This will be Connell's first exhibition at photo-eye Gallery.

Kelli Connell's series, Double Life, appears to document the evolving relationship between two women. By combining multiple negatives of the same model, Connell uses digital imaging techniques to create constructed realities. The model acts out various fictional scenarios, with the characters' body language and clothing changing in each image. The work represents Connell's investigation of identity, sexuality, and gender roles, as they shape and are expressed within intimate relationships. Through her photographs she addresses complex issues about visual rhetoric and the self.
