Elliott Kaufman describes New York City as “a laboratory in constant movement. In his series “Street Dance,” Kaufman photographs repetitive actions of passersby – such as riding a bicycle or entering a subway station – from a single vantage point and arranges the images in a grid. Key to his series, Kaufman explains, was caluculating how changing light would affect the environment. “The bicycles had to be backlit at the very end of the day,” he says. “The subway sterps were calculated so that the light would cast perfect north/south shadwos.” He also shot a varying number of exposures at each scene to relay the “staccato rhythm” he sought – as many as 225. “The camera catches the commonality of movement,” he says, “until what endures is a patter of dance and motion.” A number of artists have led him in this direction, including the Bauhaus and the collaborative media which they pioneered, the 1977 film Powers Of Ten, which depicts the relative scale of the universe in factors of ten, Mike Figgis...

Limited Edition Archival pigment print 25.5 x 31.5 inches Unframed This elegant archival pigment print was created by Shelly Lependorf and Stan Shire as part of their Glyph series. The somewhat abstract nature of the photograph's subject makes it difficult to identify at first, but upon closer inspection, it depicts a highly reflective pond surface with thin, curved branches sticking out of it, is implicit of symbols or handwriting, thus the title. Artists' statement: The foundation for our work is the photographic image with the optimal quality of light. Selecting the interplay of composition, form, rhythm, and line is the focus for our imagery. Integrating these elements in the computer is the next stage in the process of merging our visual and intuitive sensibilities toward a completed vision. Different perceptual effects arise from recording the world in photographs as opposed to interpreting it in paint: Our goal is not to emulate painting. Conceptual work in all mediums has blurred the line between photographers who make art and artists who use photography. The digital medium has established itself in the natural continuum of art history and the ongoing relationship of art with technology. This work forces us to consider a more serene world while reminding us that no contemporary experience is unmediated; technology touches everything. The use of the computer as a tool does not create; it assists creativity resulting in a synthesis of disciplines to be realized as a limited edition. The combination of archival pigment inks on Crane Fine Art paper framed with archival mattes and backboards insures permanence in excess of 175 years. The creative process will always remain in the mind and the soul of the artist. About the artists: Stan Shire is Professor Emeritus and former chair...

This framed infrared silver gelatin print of a treeline is the work of photographer Susan Myers, who experiments with the concept of pattern and frequency in her decision to focus not on the trees themselves, but on the parallel shadows they cast. The small 7.5 x 11.5 photograph is ready to hang in a white mat and black frame, equipped with a sturdy wire. About the artist: Susan Myers has loved photography since watching her first print develop in the darkrooms of SUNY Albany. Myers received her bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Fine Art from SUNY Albany in the early 80’s, and her Master of Fine Arts in Photography in the late 80’s from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Over the years, Myers has devoted herself to a wide range of subject matters and processes, from her graduate thesis - traditional black and white documentary work on schizophrenia - to nudes, landscape, and portrait work done as pinhole photography, Polaroid transfers, infrared, large format and color stills. Myers’s photography has appeared in numerous juried shows including the area’s Photo-Regionals and the Mohawk Hudson Regionals as well as the Mohawk Hudson Invitational. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Myers has worked as a commercial photographer, studio portrait photographer and as a photo educator. She has taught basic black and white darkroom techniques, color, non-silver processes and History of Photography at local colleges and high schools. Myers has juried numerous statewide and regional shows, and has acted as curator and/or coordinator for such notable shows as: Interpreting Landscape, (with the editor of Art in America); the 911 Show (with works from all over the country in many different artistic mediums); and Exposed, (with Anthony Montoya from Aperture). Myers was instrumental in reinvigorating the Photo-Regional, and help establish its current format which has thrived for the past dozen years. Myers is also an avid art collector, with works from the pages of photo history aw well...

Tree and Pond, Ghent NY, 2018 pigment print on watercolor paper, signed dated and numbered on face 20 X 24, edition of 25 $2,500.00 also available in 13 x 16 inches, edition of 25 $1,500 This Black and White Sepia-toned print of a pond in upstate New York was taken by photographer, James Bleecker. The rural scene depicts a leafy tree streaming with sunlight. The pond in the background is surrounded by trees and reflects some of the golden light. Artist Statement: These photographs span the last decade of nearly four that I have worked in the Hudson River valley. While I have photographed landscapes, towns and cities, I have chosen a selection of rural scenes for this show. All are in Columbia County except “Allee,” (Tuxedo Park) and Quimby Farm (Marlborough). My photography spans four decades of living in the Hudson River Valley. While my Dutch ancestors settled here early - Bleecker and Verplanck are common place names - I don't know what, if any, pull that fact exerts. Certainly I'm attracted to the layers of time exposed here; in ancient stone walls, leaning barns, faded mansions and mill towns. The valley exudes boom and bust, love and leavings. About the Artist: James Bleecker photographs the landscapes and architecture of his native New York State. Since 1983 his work has spanned independent fine art photography and commercial architectural photography. Much of his work has been commissioned by museums and historic preservation groups in the Hudson River valley. About James’s work, Edgar Munhall, Curator Emeritus of The Frick Collection, has written, "James's work is powerful and mature. Rigorously composed and technically perfect, his photographs can reduce you to tears by their beauty." Collections: Berkshire Museum Barry Diller...
