Hello everyone, Out of the city for summer? Well, if you're in London or even just slightly up the Hudson River from New York City for any reason, here are two shows to check out. No matter where you are, get yourself outside and enjoy the weather! Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services P.S. and don't forget to apply for the 2010 WIP - LTI / Individual Project Grant ... (if you're a women, of course).

Bill Armstrong: Renaissance Hackelbury Fine Art, Ltd., June 10 - July 31 From the Infinity series: Renaissance #1005 40 x 48 optically enlarged c-print Bill Armstrong's Renaissance images are part of an extensive body of work called the Infinity Series and are aptly named after a crucial aspect of the creative process where he rephotographs found images with his focusing ring set at infinity. Armstrong's appropriated material is subjected to a variety of physical manipulations - photocopying, cutting, painting, rephotographing and the extreme de-focusing that enables him to blend and distill hues - all of which contribute to transform the originals and give them new meaning in a new context. LTI / Lightside produced six conventionally enlarged 40" x 48" c-prints for this exhibition. Joni Sternbach: Surfland Kenise Barnes Fine Art, June 5 - July 34 From Surfland: 08.08.13 #8 Surfer Gals 20 x 24 archival pigment print, scanned from unique collodion tintype Joni Sternbach has covered a lot of ground with her project Surfland ... from shooting up and down both coasts in the United States to exhibiting the photographs seemingly everywhere in between and as far away as Lishui, China. Along the way, the work has received widespread critical attention both online and in print. Surfland, the book, also won in the 2008 Photolucida Critical Mass Awards hard cover Monograph category. LTI / Lightside produced thirteen 20 x 24 and 8 x 10 archival pigment prints and one 30 x 40 digital c-print for this exhibition Reminder: The 2010 Women in Photography - LTI / Lightside Individual Project Grant is open for submissions.

Philip Andelman: Three Days in Paris

Milk Studios, New York, NY: May 20 - May 30
Opening Party Friday May 21, 7:00 - 10:00pm


Shot over the course of three days last June, the 78 - 16 x 20 black + white photographs in this exhibition chronicle the exploits of two iconic bands meeting for the first time in Paris - The Beastie Boys promoting a new album and The Dead Weather preparing for a series of shows throughout Europe - and offer a cozy portrait of that chance encounter intimately recorded by Philip Andelman.

Andelman recounts: There was something magical to those three days, a sense of carefree adventure, of being away from home and the constraints imposed by day-to-day life ... It was June and the summer had only just begun - The three days felt more like an adolescent summer vacation abroad, from the late night bike rides along the Seine to giddily spinning around in circles inside the ladies room at he Ritz Hotel at three in the morning.

31 Women in Art Photography

Quick Link Humble Arts Foundation Affirmation Arts LTI more about Lightside Hello everyone, There are still 10 days left to see Humble Art Foundation's well received second annual survey: 31 Women in Art Photography. LTI / Lightside is pleased to have been a sponsor of this project and to have worked with a number of the exhibiting artists. There will be a panel discussion with the curators this Saturday, April 3rd, titled Past, Perspective and Projections featuring Charlotte Cotton of the National Media Museum; Vanessa Kramer, Director of Photographs at Phillips de Pury; Humble co-founder, Jon Feinstein, and exhibiting artists Justine Reyes and Sasha Rudensky ... this provides an excellent opportunity to see the show and gain perspective on Humble Arts' purpose in presenting these terrific artists. I hope you can make it. Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services 31 Women in Art Photography Humble Arts Foundation at Affirmation Arts, March 6 - April 10 Installation views courtesy of Nat Ward and Humble Arts Foundation There are two things that struck me about Humble's second edition of 31 Women in Art Photography. The first came in the form of plain statistics that I received from Humble co-founder, Amani Olu: "This year in New York City hundreds of galleries and museums will mount group and solo exhibitions. On average, less than 25% of the artists presented in these exhibitions will be women. Less than 20% of those artists will be women photographers, and even less will be emerging." This is the key to understanding why HAF has championed this project for the second time and provides a clear reflection of its principles as a foundation. Not coincidentally, this is also a core reason why LTI / Lightside signed on to be the exhibition sponsor as well as co-founding the Women in Photography LTI / Lightside Individual Project Grant last year. The second is easily recognizable to anyone who visits the show ... it's the extraordinary level of professionalism on display, which is not just evident in the work, but also in the presentation of the exhibition itself. 31 Women in Art Photography is simply a beautiful show to behold. The Affirmation Arts space, with its 20' sky-lit ceiling and diffuse natural light enhances what many have remarked upon as one of the strongest curated shows to open during this year's New York Art Fair week. Humble does a great job of spreading the word ... and in this day and age it's always tempting to skim the reviews and click through the jpegs online. In this case, however, those of you in New York might consider this ... don't miss it!

Thomas Dozol at Envoy

Quick Link Thomas Dozol Envoy Enterprises Envoy Blog LTI more about Lightside Hello and Happy New Year! Time flies and we're already deep into January ... hopefully you've washed away last year's dust and grime by now and are back to work and all that, right? See below a project from Thomas Dozol currently on view at Envoy Gallery that coincidentally, ties directly into the "washing away" and "starting anew" metaphor. Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services Thomas Dozol: Entre Temps Envoy, January 7 - February 14 Jamie: 16 x 16 archival pigment print Thomas Dozol tackles a number of issues in these seemingly simple photographs of people fresh out the shower. He's chosen a situation that nearly everyone can relate to (entre temps or "the times in between") and uses it to challenge the conventions of traditional portraiture and the truly modern phenomena of hyper-controlled celebrity image making while at the same time turning notions of voyeurism and privacy upside down. Here you are invited into the bathrooms of strangers (and some not-so strangers) as they go about their normally private business with an otherwise very nice fellow snapping away on a Hasselbald camera. OK, for a second that may bring to mind the nearly endless run of reality TV programs which have made "celebrities" out of anyone willing to be video taped but Dozol's intent is quite different - his intimate portraits are focused on calmness and introspection through the depiction of a mundane ritual that we all know so well. The result evokes an inviting familiarity, almost like, well ... taking a warm shower. LTI has worked with Dozol since 2005. For this exhibition, LTI processed all the film, scanned the original negatives and imaged over thirty 16 x 16 archival pigment prints in close consultation with the artist.

Justine Kurland and Barbara Crane

Quick Link Mitchell-Innes & Nash Aperture Foundation LTI more about Lightside Hey everyone, Here's your heads-up that Justine Kurland's show This Train Is Bound For Glory at Mitchell, Innes & Nash is closing Saturday, November 14. It's certainly worth the trip if you haven't been. Also of note: Opening Thursday, November 12, at the Aperture Gallery is a specially produced installation of Barbara Crane's Private Views - Public Places project from the 1980s. See more info below. Enjoy, Jeffrey Kane LTI / lightside photographic services Justine Kurland: This Train is Bound for Glory Mitchell, Innes and Nash closing Saturday November 14. Keddie Wye: 2007, 24 x 31.5 Optical C-Print Justine Kurland's This Train is Bound for Glory has been well reviewed in The New Yorker, New York, Time Out: New York, and beyond ... much of the writing touches on just how much of Kurland there is in these photographs. Many of the descriptions of nomads adrift in the American West - and of the landscape itself as a metaphor for the wanderlust of the American spirit - reflect Kurland's personal energy, which is smartly on display for just another week. The exhibition consists of various sized conventionally enlarged c-prints. Kurland printed the 11 x 14, 16 x 20 and 20 x 24 pieces herself and LTI produced the 24 x 31.5, 30 x 40 and 40 x 50s as well as provided the mounting. Barbara Crane: Private Views Aperture Gallery, November 7 -January 21, 2010 Private Views: 8 x 10 Fujiflex digital c-print Barbara Crane is enjoying a great deal of attention this year. The Chicago Cultural Center has launched a six decade retrospect of her work, Barbara Crane: Challenging Vision and Aperture has published a beautiful volume of Private Views. LTI / lightside worked with Aperture to produce a limited edition of twenty 8 x 10 Fujiflex digital-c prints from a special edit of Private Views curated specifically for the Aperture Gallery.
