Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Posted on 07:34 by election
Last night was surreal. 400 people packed into a little piece of elegance in a warehouse in DUMBO. A cellist plucking maudlin stings as a series of presenters, photographs and winners flashed before the crowd. And then Martin Parr announcing the nominees for the Photography Book award. "And the winner is...Amy Stein." Strange and wonderful things happening at the New York Photo Festival.

Don't Call It a Comeback
Posted on 13:21 by election
Love Kills, 1979 © Jill FreedmanThe New York Times has a great profile on Jill Freedman. Jill made a name for herself in the 70s and 80s with her gritty black and white images of a city in serious decline. She is now enjoying a bit of a renaissance with a show at Higher Pictures. It's great to see an artist get her due after so many years, but it's disheartening to know you can have the goods

Best Schwag Ever
Posted on 20:28 by election
A couple of days ago I received an email from a public relations firm inviting me to a product preview party for Nikon at Buddha Bar in the Meatpacking District. Clearly, these folks recognized me as the influential connector and cultural king-maker that I am and wanted some of that magic to grace their flashy, super cool PR spectacular. As I've stated before, I am the opposite of cool. And, I

About Last Night
Posted on 18:56 by election
© Simon NorfolkLast night was Rachael Dunville's big opening at Peer Gallery and the joint was packed with her friends and family from Missouri, supportive SVA alums, admirers, and the endless throngs of art school hipsters, matrons and patrons, and Blackberry cowboys that come out on a typical Chelsea Thursday. Rachael's work looked great and she was deservedly beaming in the moment.After an

Party Like a Rockstar
Posted on 09:44 by election
© Melissa Auf Der MaurIf there is one thing I don't do, it's party like a rockstar. On certain nights I let go and may approach something akin to the party habits of a folkstar or a polkastar, but usually my only incursion into rock bacchanalia involves sitting on my couch watching Rock of Love on VH1. This weekend, however, is all about the rock and or roll music. Tonight I am going to see

Making the Scene
Posted on 22:16 by election
© Kohei YoshiyukiSummer doesn't officially end until September 21, but all the popular markers that spell the true end of the season are upon us. The kids are back in school, something resembling a breeze has returned to the New York City night, and Chelsea gallerists have come home from the Hamptons and opened their shops for business. Like any good fan of art, gratuitous schmoozing, and free

I Love This City, I Hate This City
Posted on 06:45 by election
If you live or work in New York City, then you know how much fun this morning has been. Severe rains have flooded the subway system and crippled the city. I am currently assisting a class at the ICP, but it looks like I won't be able to make it in. I also have about 5000 other things I need to do in the city before I leave for my Stranded trip this Friday and now I am pretty much stuck at home

The Art of the Nonresponse Response
Posted on 14:35 by election
© William KleinToday the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) issued a statement in an attempt to clarify their proposed new rules governing street photography and filming in New York City. The MOFTBs nonresponse response was no doubt prompted by the flurry of negative blog activity after a New York Times story brought to light the new requirements under consideration. The

City May Seek Permit and Insurance for Public Photography
Posted on 13:28 by election
© Helen LevittWhat in the hell are they thinking? From the New York Times:Some tourists, amateur photographers, even would-be filmmakers hoping to make it big on YouTube could soon be forced to obtain a city permit and $1 million in liability insurance before taking pictures or filming on city property, including sidewalks.New rules being considered by the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and
