THE PLEASURE IS ALL MINE Curated by Kathleen Mahoney-Cobb and Elizabeth Barragan March 24, 2011 – April 09, 2011 547 W. 27th & 548 W. 28th streets, New York, NY Opening Reception, Thursday, March 24, 2011, 6-9 pm Emerging Collector’s Symposium, Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 7-9 pm While attending various art openings over the course of the 2010 art season we were struck by the dearth of current work expressing pleasure and happiness. We thought perhaps we had not been to enough shows, to make such generalization, so we surveyed the various exhibitions, art fairs, studio visits and portfolio reviews we had spent time with throughout the year and still we could not find the joy. It was at this point we felt the moment had come to curate a show that revolved on high spirits. Love, pleasure, satisfaction, fortune, family, decadence, humor spirituality, memory and at times even subversion can be root causes for the feelings associated with pleasure and happiness. And the feeling of pleasure can manifest itself in varying degrees: bliss, joy, contentment, cheer, exultant, glee… The artists we have chosen to exhibit focus on capturing a form of pleasure by using the visual medium and communicating that pleasure to the viewer through the use of photography, painting, written words, color, design and other artistic devices. Jill Waterman has spent nealry thirty years documenting, in beautiful black and white, the diverse ecstacies of New Year’s celebrations around the world. While Rachael Styer has turned the camera upon herself and her husband to create poigniant tableaus of initmate marital love. Painter, C. Finley creates sensual abstract pieces full of rhythm and color. These are but a few of the talented artists we have uncovered who seek to capture and express happiness in many forms through their work. Check out www.finchandada.com for the full artist list.

Christopher Hitchens Portrait Photography

Dec 16
vanityfair: Without a doubt, this is our favorite freewheeling photograph of the late, great Christopher Hitchens, whose passing we can barely comprehend. So we turn to the words of Graydon Carter, who writes of this image in his touching memoriam: “I once sent him out on a mission to break the most niggling laws still on the books in New York City. One such decree forbade riding a bicycle with your feet off the pedals. The photograph that ran with the column, of Christopher sailing a small bike through Central Park with his legs in the air, looked like something out of the Moscow Circus.” Photograph by Christian Witkin.

Hump Day Q&A with Steve Daly

«»«»

1. Who are you? 

Artist. 

2. What do you do? 

Generally speaking, I wander around with a very large, outmoded camera looking for things in the external world that spark some kind of dialogue with what’s going on in my interior world. Sometimes it’s the other way around.

 3. When/Where/How did you get your start?

I am a recovering journalist and television producer. I realized my life was an ever- expanding black hole of despair, drift and boredom. It seemed to make some sense to harness that. 

 4. How long have you been at it?

In a live-eat-breathe-it way, about five years.

 5. What is the most important thing we should know about you?

Cautiously optimistic.

 6. Is there anyone else in your field who you particularly admire?

Thomas Struth makes my heart sing.

7. What types of art are you into? 

The good kind. I like it all: painting and film, especially, and printmaking.

 8. You got any crazy hobbies or unique talents?

Being in the right place at the right time. It’s seriously fucking weird how many times that’s happened.

 9. What’s your favourite vice?

Kodak Portra 160.

 10. What is your most prized possession? 

An anxious mind. A Linhof Technika III, manufactured sometime between 1956 and 1972 in West Germany. The support of others.

 11. You eat food? What kind? Like to cook?

YES! As a recent transplant to Amsterdam, I’ve developed an unhealthy obsession with mussels, and buying whatever weird Dutch cheese is on sale at the supermarket (note: Dutch cheese with cumin = yuck), along with bizarre cured meats, like ossenwurst. My other favorite things to cook these days are various ethnic soups and stews because they are cheap, healthy and last a few days (and always taste better the second day). But I’ll pretty much eat anything you put in front of me. Except tripe: We don’t have to use the whole animal. Though I do like tripe as an adjective. 

 12. Truth or Dare? Elaborate. 

What’s truth? Dare to wear women’s deodorant. Dare to experiment, and to make process integral to practice. Dare to embrace the work of others in pursuit of yours rather than just react against it. 

13. How do you make it over the hump on Wednesday?

Did you get this question from the side of a cereal box?


(Steve Daly is a photographer and all-around-good-guy living in Amsterdam. He is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago MFA program and a 2011 recipient of the Leonore Annenberg Fellowship for the Arts. His work is on view through 2/18 in “Second City Psychasthenia” at the Andrea Meislin Gallery, 526 W. 26th Street, #214, NY, NY)
