| Singular Beauty- Cara Phillips |
Being in the season of ''Giving'' I encourage you all to help Photographer and dear friend Cara Phillips make her dream book come true. I am not a big Kickstarter Campaign lover but, this is only exception that I am making because Cara's work is so worth it, had supported it, collected, shown it and can truly attest for its exceptional quality and theme. For the ones who had not ever saw her first attempt at a Singular Beauty book , Cara created a small limited hand made edition of 5 which it is right now in the possession of very 1% VIP art and book collectors. Now it is your turn to help her bring her theme and message to the other 99% of us. You will not be disappointed with the end result nor content of this book which, has a very strong and reflective social message. Remember January 20th is the deadline so, every little helps! Contribute today!
Here is more info about the project:
Dear friends and supporters,
First I want to thank everyone who has supported my work over the years and kept me going even in difficult times. Now I am embarking on the most ambitious and important project of my career--publishing my first book.
Singular Beauty (Summer 2012) is being published by Fw: a non-profit publishing platform based in Amsterdam. Co-founded by designer Hans Gremmen, Fw: is an independent organization that initiates projects, publications, exhibitions, lectures and gatherings between photographers, writers and curators.
And while independent projects give artists and designers the ability to take risks and push themselves creatively, they must find self-fund. So in order to make this project a reality, I have launched a Kickstarter campaign.
For just $45 you can pre-order the book. Singular Beauty will be 192 pages (2 x 96 pp) / 22 x 26 cm / colour / ± 50 images / stapled / Japanese binding and it is limited to 700 copies.
I know these are challenging times and there are many worthwhile projects that need funding, so whether you can pledge $5, $25, $45, $150, or $2500, every amount makes a difference.
Kickstarter is an ALL or NOTHING funding model, I must reach my full funding goal, $15,8000 by Jan 20th, 2012.
Thank you so much for your time and support.

http://www.sva.edu/sa/index.jsp?sid0=201&page_id=482&event_id=1704
November 22 - December 21, 2011
Reception: Thursday, December 1, 6-8pm
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents "Being American," an exhibition surveying responses by visual artists to some of the most pressing social issues in America today. Culled from various forms of contemporary visual culture, the works address topics ranging from recent environmental catastrophes to the pervading effects of the economic crisis; from the long shadow of 9/11 and two overseas wars to the home-front debates surrounding religious tolerance, gay marriage, capital punishment and firearms possession. Curated by Visual Arts Gallery Director Francis Di Tommaso, the exhibition will be on view at the Visual Arts Gallery, 601 West 26 Street, New York City, from November 22 - December 21.
Curator Francis Di Tommaso explains, "The twenty artists in this show have twenty stories to tell about the experience of being American today. Though many would not normally exhibit in the same venue-the work of some is almost never seen outside of the printed page-they all have immediately accessible and also exquisitely nuanced commentaries to make on American culture."
Participating artists include: Susan Anderson; Sandow Birk; Steve Brodner; Edward Burtynsky; Jessica Craig-Martin; Andrea Gennari; Reiner Gerritsen; Bob Giraldi; Dustin Grella; Alfredo Jaar and David Levi Strauss; Shai Kremer; Christoph Niemann; Robert Priseman; Aurora Robson; Martha Rosler; Alix Smith; Charles Traub; Lane Twitchell; Type A (Adam Ames & Andew Bordwin); and Kehinde Wiley.
