Francesca Woodman’s untimely suicide at age 22 underscores her extensive body of work currently showing at the Guggenheim; the ghostly effects, the shabby interiors, the black and white nudity, both, raw and innocent, and most of all, an intimacy that manages to remain ambiguous. Great. Go see..

According to ARTnews writer Phoebe Hoban, a ‘Seventies Sensibility‘ is lurking in the art world. Especially in New York, where recently, numerous exhibitions have alluded to the decade. It should come as no surprise then that the MoMA is currently showcasing the works of Sanja Ivekovic, past to present. If there is a good reason to reference the 70’s, and Mrs. Hoban does a wonderful job of listing a few, Sanja Ivekovic is it; her work carries an awareness that is relevant to current events and a message that is worth the nostalgia. See for yourself. *(at the MoMA until March 2012)

“The people in the subway, their flesh juxtaposed against the graffiti, the penetrating effect of the strobe light itself, and even the hollow darkness of the tunnels, inspired an aesthetic that goes unnoticed by passengers who are trapped underground, hiding behind masks, and closed off from each other.”
Bruce Davidson’s Subway exhibition is showing at Aperture Gallery starting today!
This man lives, breathes, and eats photography. I’m a big fan of his documentary series. This one in particular captures the unequivocal subway culture of NYC in the early 80’s. Definitely worth checking out!

"And to feel that the light is a rabbit-light,
In which everything is meant for you
And nothing need be explained;
Then there is nothing to think of. It comes of itself;
And east rushes west and west rushes down,
No matter. The grass is full"
