Dog Park, 2006
Limited-Edition Photograph by Miklos Gaál
“My vocabulary is characterized by subtlety. The motifs are often from casual daily subjects but they seem to possess something exceptional in them. I am making use of photography’s illusory capacity. The perspective from a distance and the confounding focus produce ambivalence disorientating the viewer, keeping us curious and speculating about generally accepted views and received ideas. Dog Park is a depiction of a small recreational site, with an odd pentagon-shape designed on terms set by the condensed urban surroundings. The title’s withdrawal of closer information about the place and the moment heightens the sense of an absentminded in-between moment.”— Miklos Gaál

you may say I'm a dreamer

but I'm not the only one

Eve

"If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument."

Marilyn Monroe with Arthur Miller in 1960 captured by Eve Arnold.

Eve Arnold wanted to be a writer or a dancer and came to photography by chance, so she toked a 6 week class with Alexei Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research, New York. The year 1948 (the year of graduation), was an important one in her life: while managing a photo-finishing plant she started experimenting with a camera. Using a Rolleicord, Eve completed her first assignment shooting a fashion show in Harlem in a square, black and white format. “It was daunting,” she recalls, “to bring my pale face into that all-black audience and get up enough courage to put my camera into their faces.”

In 1951, Arnold was one of the very few women to join Magnum as an associate. This happened as a result of the fact that Brodovitch found her work fresh and encouraged her to keep on photographing in Harlem. Arnold became a member of Magnum later on in 1955. From then on she worked on numerous reportages for Life, Vogue, Paris Match, Stern and the Sunday Times, traveling in Europe, the US, South America, India and Afghanistan on assignment and working in-depth in the USSR on three successive trips. She became famous for her portraits of celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, John Huston, Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, the Queen of England, Richard Nixon, Senator Joseph McCarthy and Malcolm X. Her book of memoirs on the 1950′s, published with her own text, explores the growing prominence of media on society.

In 1961 she moved to London. At the beginning of the 1970′s Eve photographed the life of veiled women in Egypt, Afghanistan and Abu Dhabi, and then the South African apartheid. In 1979 Eve Arnold traveled to China for another photographic documentary, where she received a National Book Award an year later. After shooting in Britain and the USA Eve has traveled back to Cuba, documenting the descendants of families she had photographed there three decades ago.

it would mean the world to me

if you could stop by tonight...


as you may or may not know, I'm contemplating a move to Chicago at the end of the summer (fingers crossed, if my job prospects come through) and so this may be my last Dallas show for awhile.
Plus, I promise it will be really fun!
Here's how it works, when you arrive and if you'd like to purchase art, you can draw a number for $20, then you match up that number with the corresponding print on exhibit.
get there early because we may sell out of numbers before the night is over.

this exhibit and project is close to my heart because it benefits the kids I've been working with this summer as part of the Food on the Move program with Americorps & Central Dallas Ministries. (watch the video below and turn up your volume)
