New York/Exhibition


The New Museum -- © Brian Rose

I've been busy putting together my show that opens in Williamsburg, Brooklyn next Friday, the 22nd. Scroll down for the announcement. The exhibit will--most likely--consist of 54 11x14 panels, each presenting an entry from my blog, running chronologically. These will be push pinned to the wall in two or three rows on the walls of the gallery. There will be text accompanying the photographs, as in the blog, but edited down to work better in an exhibit.

I am also including one image from my Lower East Side project printed 40x50 inches. This print I made at Beth Schiffer Labs, which has rental work stations and printers. It is a digital C print. The smaller prints were made using Adorama's digital printing service. Basically, you upload your files, and pick up the prints. Working this way goes quite smoothly if you have good digital files and use the color profile provided on their website.

I have been practicing the songs I plan to sing at the opening. I'm prepared to do about a dozen, some old, some quite new. I can't remember when I last did a full-fledged gig, but I am looking forward to this very much. Apparently, I can still play the guitar and sing! There will be an emphasis on songs about or taking place in New York and the urban landscape in general. A few of them relate to recent events--one about 9-11.

Tomorrow I hope to get to the New York Photo Festival, and will report back.
