Klea McKenna

Klea McKenna was recently selected by Aperture's Lesley A. Martin, for the 3rd Curator's Choice Award of Jen Bekman's Hey, Hot Shot! competition. McKenna describes her recent project Slow Burn as "an ongoing series of experiments" which in my opinion results in some really beautiful work (that I had not seen before today). Instead of writing about it myself, take a look at what Ms. Martin writes here and take a look at more of Klea's work here (and be sure to read her excellent statement).

InOrbit NY

Some of my Queens images are featured on InOrbit New York today. It is a great new site edited by James Turnley and Bryan Formhals featuring photography and other things about NYC. Be sure to check it out.

This Thursday

Will Steacy's show, Down These Mean Streets opens this Thursday at Michael Mazzeo Gallery. I have been a fan of his work, especially this project for a while now. This should be a great show - not to be missed.

Also, be sure to check out Summer Staged over at Foley Gallery (at their brand new location at 548 W. 28th, 2nd floor), which is also opening. Artists in the show include Tribble & Mancenido, Steven B. Smith, Amy Stein, and several others.
