LAUREN HENKIN: The Park at Foley Gallery

 
The Park 31 © Lauren Henkin

"One photograph stuck with me the most (This Park #31). There was something about the way the branches coexists with the building’s reflection.  There was a harmony between the built and the natural that I hadn’t expected to see in New York. I became very aware, and very sensitized to the architecture that lives on the periphery of the park.  And scale—the extreme differences between the buildings and us...." read more here

"For me, it’s as much about seeing the light on the softball field as it is about the softball. It’s as much about the deep grooves in the rocks as it is about the rock-climbing.  It’s as much about the sun on your back as it is about sunbathing. My work is not so much about subject.  It’s about developing an intimate relationship with a viewer so that there can be some kind of emotional response to the photographs...." read more here

New York City Panoramas | Photographs by Sylvia Plachy

Sylvia Plachy's New York City Panoramas can be seen at the recently reopened South Street Seaport Museum. After being closed for nearly a year, two of their sixteen new galleries are dedicated to photography exhibitions curated by Elisabeth Biondi.

"Sylvia Plachy seeks and finds her images wherever she goes. She captures fleeting moments in time with her roaming eye. She says the panoramic frame intensifies her perceptions. It allows her to get close to her subjects, to be inside their space, and to be surrounded by it — unorthodox, whimsical, and close. One senses that she does not simply compose her photographs so much as she inhabits them. They read like private pictographs — lyrical memories of what, and how, she saw." Read all of Elisabeth Biondi's piece about the exhibition on La Lettre de la Photographie, including work by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao.
