Waiting for Work

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 17:28:36 -0600

Waiting for Work ABOUT THE EXHIBIT Every day, clusters of Latino men and women line the streets of New York City's boroughs and affluent suburbs, looking for work. They clean houses and gutters; they mop the floors and landscape the grounds. And on any given day, there are 117,600 to 260,000 of them waiting on street corners across the United States, waiting for someone to offer them work. They are day laborers. They are jornaleros. "Waiting for Work" is a collection of portraits of jornaleros. It creates a space where this often-nondescript group and singular mass becomes visible. Photographed in a portable studio in several soup kitchens and worker centers in and around New York City, "Waiting for Work" uses a simple visual approach that gives viewers the opportunity to look eye-to-eye with dozens of day laborers and learn their stories. Through viewing these personalized narratives, the exhibit provokes and supports viewers to consider their own reality, and the realities of those whom are ignored. By focusing on the act of documentation, itself, "Waiting For Work" challenges complacent assumptions about cultural difference and fosters cross-cultural engagement. This exhibit is supported, in part, by a Dean's Grant from New York University. Half of all the proceeds from the "Waiting For Work" exhibit will go directly to the Don Bosco Community Center's Day Laborer's Center of Port Chester, New York a non-profit registered 501[c][3] program of the Westchester Hispanic Coalition in New York State (www.donboscocenter.com). Tax deductible donations are also gratefully accepted and can be made payable to the Don Bosco Center.

Intersection of Greatness - The Legends Meet in Miami

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:17:54 -0600

Intersection of Greatness - The Legends Meet in Miami ABOUT THE EXHIBIT Intersection of Greatness features rare historical images of The Beatles, Elvis and Mohammad Ali captured against a Miami backdrop. This exhibit honors monumental anniversaries in pop history as 2011 marks 50 years since the Beatles had their first ever gig at The Cavern in Liverpool and 55 years since a trio of firsts for Elvis: RCA single release: Heartbreak Hotel, movie appearance: Love Me Tender and television appearances. ABOUT THE ARTIST Charles Trainor (1927-1987) was a photographer in Miami from the 1950's to the 1970's. During the middle years of the last century Trainor crossed paths with subjects that would become icons in the present day. The photos of Elvis, The Beatles, and Ali not only defined his photography but also a city that was becoming a player on the world's stage. Miami was the point in all three of their history where the world took noticed, two with concerts and one with a fight. Trainor's dramatic photograph of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy caught the attention of the late President who requested a copy of the photograph and returned one to Trainor with his signature. Over the years Trainor's work was published in national and international publications: LIFE and LOOK Magazine, PARIS MATCH, GEO, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, ROLLING STONE Magazine and various books and documentaries.

T.V.LIFE

Wed, 25 May 2011 13:06:58 -0600

T.V. LIFE by John Van Hamersveld ABOUT THE EXHIBIT Renowned multidisciplinary artist - graphic designer and fine art photographer - John Van Hamersveld will exhibit a special collection of his photography which brings together 34 digitally retouched prints of John's street photography, covering a 22 year period of his life from 1965 to 1987. Tracing John's experiences and development as a prolific artist, the inspirational exhibit includes photographs from his early years as an art student at Chouinard/Cal Art, which occurred just after he had designed the successful iconic film poster for The Endless Summer. The exhibit also consists of photographs taken by John during his experiences working as a graphic designer at Capitol Records, traveling between Los Angeles and New York in the Art & Entertainment business, and creating art in his popular Los Angeles studio. ABOUT THE ARTIST John Van Hamersveld began studying Street Photography in the early '70s. He met with Ralph Gibson, who introduced him to the work of Robert Frank. Frank worked with John on the Exile project in 1972 and by 1974, there were a series of shows of John's photography, the second of which, entitled "the Interval," occurred in Venice, California. At the Fisher Gallery in 1975, John exhibited "T.V.LIFE." Then John exhibited another set of photos at the Long Beach Museum's Bicentennial show entitled "So Cal 76." In 1974, John became represented artist by the Push Pin Studio in New York. The following year, he became an instructor at Cal Arts in the Art and Design Department, a position he held for seven years. John's other notable accomplishments include designing the Endless Summer film poster as well as the album covers for the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, the Stones' Exile on Main Street, the Jefferson Airplane and Dylan and the Dead. He created the architectural look and trademark for the Fatburger franchise restaurants and the 360 foot 1984 Olympic Mural, which wrapped half way around the LA Coliseum. He has designed identities for Jimmy'Z apparel, Gotcha Sportswear, Contempo Casuals Stores, and L.A.Style Magazine. Most recently, John created a new poster for the Bloomingdale's Santa Monica and New York stores and was honored by the Pacific Design Center as 2011 "Graphic Designer of the Year."]]>
