Tonight!-Will Steacy 48 HOURS @ Michael Mazzeo Gallery
WILL STEACY, 48 HOURS | |
Opening Reception, Thursday, April 28, 6-8PM Artist Talk, Saturday, April 30, 3PM | |
Will Steacy
Left -''Allen''Madison Firefighter IAFF Local, Madison 2011 Right- Mina's Furniture , Gary 2011
See you tonight! Don't miss it!
Deeply moved by headlines decrying the perils facing the nation, Steacy, a former union laborer, packed his view camera and drove to Madison, Wisconsin to witness the heated confrontation between union workers and Governor Scott Walker. He spent 24 hours that night and the following day photographing events as they unfolded inside and around the capitol building, as the Governor prepared to sign the notorious bill restricting collective bargaining rights for union workers.
Shortly afterward, Steacy drove to Gary, Indiana, home to the first US Steel plant, and a city whose rise and fall has become a symbol of the plight of the American workforce. He photographed up and down Broadway, Gary's main artery, documenting city institutions and local businesses, revealing the grim challenges that now face this once-vibrant city.
Photographed in 48 hours, Steacy's understated, quietly seductive images reveal an undercurrent of catastrophic anxiety enveloping the American psyche while pointedly exposing the harsh realities of a nation torn apart by misguided government policies and corporate greed. An outspoken critic of inequality and injustice, Will Steacy's images, insightful, confrontational, and elegant, offer hope and renewal to a nation divided.

Artist Statement:
Gastro Glam is like that of a graphic illustration of modern aphrodisiactic pleasure. Anatomical diagrams of form and color made with the idea of pursuing pleasure through food. Inspired by the consumption of foods for more than just calories "Gastro-Glam" is a study of food as an object within the ideas of modern beauty, refinement, sexual stimulation, health, and in-turn happiness and life.

| Felandus Thames |
I had been meaning to tell you all about this show, The Black Portrait currently on display @ Rush Arts Gallery in Chelsea, NYC till 5/21/11, that you must go and see. Natasha Logan and photographer and friend Hank Willis Thomas did an splendid job co-curating this show. it is very strong in content , theme and great imagery. You can easily move this show to the Studio Museum of Harlem or any museum for that matter. The work of Felandus Thames (shown above) was one of my very favorite gems to be discovered as part of this interesting take of black portraiture. I highly recommended.

Artist Statement:
The image Rise is from the series Tempest, created in late 2010. The photograph is taken on location on a coastal rock shelf in Southern NSW, Australia and was captured in one shot. The live model (or figure) in the photographs are shot on location and not digitally placed into the situation. She used her body to create shapes in sync with the waves as they broke on the rock shelf, creating an organic quality to the imagery.

Daughter: As a photographer, I explore a variety of subjects, styles and processes, but the one consistent element in my photographic journey has been my daughter, Charlotte.
As I continue to grow and explore as an artist, she continues to grow and explore as a person. Her willingness to participate in my work has been immeasurable. I look back at the past ten years, grateful to her for helping me realize my vision, but I am also grateful to have a photographic record of my very special daughter and the time we have spent together.

British-born Tim Hetherington, 40, co-director of the documentary Restrepo about U.S. soldiers on an outpost in Afghanistan, was killed inside the only rebel-held city in western Libya, said his U.S.-based publicist, Johanna Ramos Boyer.
Hetherington, who was best known for co-directing the Oscar-nominated documentary about the war in Afghanistan, Restrepo, was killed Wednesday in Misurata, Libya when a rocket-propelled grenade struck his camp.
Rest in Peace my friend.

The ladies of Finch & Ada , Elizabeth Barragan and Kathleen Mahoney- Cobb are at it again after their gallery debut and very sucessfull show run ''The Pleasure is All Mine''.
This is a very limited edition of seven with seven artists called of course ''SEVEN''
One of the SEVEN limited editions images is mine and it is new work, which I am very proud to debut here. Lady Money Sings the Blues to me exemplifies the real essence of my ongoing on its 7 year project NY, NY : Concrete Jungle photography series which shows how Old NY and New NY are fused together in a era of fast gentrification in Harlem, NYC. All the editions are at a very affordable price and are highly collectable. There is a great image range and they are all reproduced with the finest
reproduction quality.
Happy Shopping!

Samrat Cinema II took this image in Jaipur, India. After photographing in this space, I later found out it was a porn cinema. In the Spring of 2010, I began a new project photographing cinemas in India. Although, I had not intended to pursue this project, upon arrival, I realized how quickly India is being altered by the intense economic growth and the loss of these small, single screen cinemas represents...
