New Release Promise Land
-
In Promise Land (2018-2021), American post-photographic artist Gregory Eddi Jones uses T.S. Eliot's modernist masterpiece, The Waste Land (1922), as its point of departure. In borrowing literary strategies from the poem and translating them into visual form, Promise Land is positioned as a collection of pictures that picks up where The Waste Land left off 100 years ago.
New Release The Essence of Color
-
The Essence of Color is a collection of 35 vibrant and colorful portraits celebrating the heritage and customs of Ghana. In this collection, Sarfo Emmanuel Annor explores the contrast between the black skin and joyful colors to shed light on African fashion, beauty and culture.
NWA: The Last Frames
-
During the late 80's to early 90's Barry extensively documented the rise of the west coast hip hop scene. His studio on Pico Blvd near Fairfax was next door to Crains Records, an indy shop that specialized in Soul, R&B, Reggae and Hip Hop. All the artists came through Crains on their PR tours and he would often shoot portraits of them in his studio. Tragically, his entire archive of photographs and negatives from this era was destroyed by USPS in 2015 en route to NY. Only a few images remain. This image was shot in 1987 at Audio Achievements Studio, just outside Compton during the recording of Straight Outta Compton, the group's debut studio album, which went on to define West Coast Gangsta' Rap and sell over 1 million copies. As told by Barry, “They had just arrived from a gun shop with these firearms, still in the boxes, and asked me if they could brandish them for the shot. I complied.” Pictured L-R: Eazy-E, DOC, Dr. Dre, Arabian Prince, DJ Yella.
Mimi Haddon x Kolby Keene
-
My materials reference clothing and costume, but through play on scale, function and effect, I look to remove the human body as the ultimate participant. By creating situations that allow morphing of shapes and relationships, I want to inspire the notion of the ephemeral and the possibilities of flux that lie within a seemingly fixed situation.
The act of assembling the objects that I create is a dance of sorts. Whether the motion is with the hands or the full body depends on the nature of the project. The repetitive action becomes a rhythm that allows the space for meditation and reflection. This motion also allows for the materials being used to have their own voice or at least have an active role in the creative process and eventual outcome.
nyc365
-
More than a documentary record of New York City, nyc365 is a fantastical view of the beauty, contrast, grit, glow and rhythm of the city, full of surrealism, abstraction, impressionism, cubism and realism- all the major art movements seem to be represented by one photographer in one grand collection of photography of this magnificent city. Collection was a blind mint, sold out. Limited works available on secondary.
Tin Lizards
-
Tin Lizards is an interactive collaboration between photographer Robert LeBlanc and a select group of 10 collectors.
Beginning October 1, Robert begins this photographic journey by way of the routes of the Amtrak railways. Shot strictly in black & white with the Leica Monochrom camera, the project will be developed over five months- a black and white collection of images that can only be created by train, taking viewers on a personal journey across the farms, plains, cities and towns of the American heartland.
96° in the Shade
-
100 images celebrating light, love and the beach.In 2003, after a decade of documenting the rise of west coast rap music in my native Los Angeles, I moved to Miami Beach and began making photographs of the beautiful people I met – models, surfers, celebrities, strangers and friends. When I wasn't doing client work, I roamed the beaches from the Sagamore Hotel to south of Fifth nearly every day, getting to know the beautiful people who made the beach their temple – and who graciously allowed me to make photographs with them. From thousands of frames made between 2003-2007, I’ve curated a selection of 100 of the most beautiful images for my genesis collection. All NFTs are unique 1/1.
28 Hats for Lamu
-
The photographs in this exhibition were made on the sub-equatorial island of Lamu in Kenya, in February 2020, by South-African photographer Kristin-Lee Moolman and French-British stylist Louise Ford, who spent much of her childhood between Zimbabwe and Kenya.
The portraits document the competitors in the 2020 version of the Shela Hat Contest, a biannual event in which Lamunians foster environmental empathy. Entrants create hats from material that would otherwise be thrown away, in a celebration of recycling and repurposing.
7 Atmospheres
-
Woody Gooch’s 7 Atmospheres transports viewers through a dreamscape of raging oceans, contemplative landscapes and cosmic theatre. Often featuring friends and locals engaged in a dance with Mother Earth, the collection of 100 works reads like a poetic journey across Morocco, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, Australia and the United States. Coming from a deeply personal reverence for the beauty and diversity of the natural world, 7 Atmospheres is equal parts travel journal, daydream and meditation. This is Woody’s genesis NFT collection, co-curated by Barry Sutton for 96 Studio.
