"St. Andrews Manor, Shanghai, China" Martin Adolfsson part of Suburbia Gone Wild A few years ago I wrote about Martin Adolfsson's project, suburbia gone wild. I don't remember where I came across the work but it immediately struck me. Not just because of the overlap in my own investigations of suburbia (concrete narratives, affordable homes and ten convenient stores) but also because I had recently traveled to Beijing to photograph the city and the olympics and Adolfson's project somehow combined these two interests of mine.

This Summer I finally met Martin when we both attended CENTER, Review Santa Fe. It was great to see the prints in person.

Martin Adolfsson is turning the project into a book and he is looking for some Kickstarter help: Suburbia gone Wild - Limited edition Book by Martin Adolfsson — Kickstarter

Help out this well deserving project!

Black Sun Project in Nov/Dec 2012 American PHOTO My Black Sun Project is included in an article by John Mahoney, In the Shadow of the Black Sun, for this month's American PHOTO. The article is also viewable online here. Contemporary artists Chris McCaw, Hans-Christian Schink, Thodoris Tzalavras, Amelia Konow are featured in the piece, along with the work of Ansel Adams and Joseph-Philibert Girault.

I showed Black Sun Project in Miami at the Bas Fisher Invitational in a 2008 solo show. It's nice to view the pieces included with other black suns to give it more context. Interesting to see how the works of these artists began around the same time.
