I don't think I will be able to make it to the uptown opening tonight but let me know if anyone makes it and report back.

UPDATE: Gregory Crewdson's opening was on Friday night not Saturday I guess artcards is not always 100% - I thought it was an odd opening day for Chelsea.

Hot off the mass email today Humble Arts Foundation has announced the 31 selections out of over 1000 submissions for the upcoming show “31 Under 31: Young Women in Art Photography.” The exhibition opening reception on Saturday, March 1st at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn and the show will stay up for the month.

I went through the Exhibiting photographers and found as many websites as I could. They may be showing newer work then what they have on their websites but it was still nice to take a look at some new voices as well as the friends and fellow SVA Students and Alumni that made it in. If any of these websites are wrong please let me know and I will correct it.

Congratulations to all.

Tonight: Screening and Talk with Filmmaker Jem Cohen

I first came upon filmmaker Jem Cohen (wiki) (Video Data Bank) in a 2002 show at EYEBEAM. He was showing Chain, a new three channel piece shot in 16mm film, with a fantastic soundtrack by Godspeed You Black Emperor. The film washes the viewer with images in a Koyaanisqatsi (wiki) style and I remember his film being the highlight of that show so It will be interesting to see him talk tonight.
