Congratulations to me!
Introduction by Mike Hoeh
NY, NY : CONCRETE JUNGLE - Photographs by Ruben Natal-San Miguel, Curated by Matthew Pillsbury
Kris Graves Gallery is pleased to present the first exhibition, by photographer Ruben Natal-San Miguel, curated by world renowned photographer Matthew Pillsbury. The show, NY, NY: Concrete Jungle is a culmination of a 5-year long survey project.
Like an explorer trekking into unknown regions of the Jungle streets of New York City, photographer Ruben Natal-San Miguel travels in the footsteps of visionary photographers such as the likes of Helen Levitt, Bruce Davidson, Louis Faurer, and Robert Frank.
While NY City has a rich tradition of street photography, Ruben Natal-San Miguel brings this historic street photographic style forward into the new millennium with vivid living color. But Ruben is more than just an observer, for the past five years during the summer months; Ruben has traveled by bicycle throughout Upper Manhattan, searching for what it is like to live in the Big Apple. For this is his chosen home, like many New Yorkers, Ruben is a transplant, eagerly coming to NY City to make his way in this School of Hard Knocks. As a trained architect he clearly sees both the concrete form and its human function, in particular, Ruben focused the viewer's eye on the unseen. In this exhibition, the overlooked citizens, and environments are his subject, these are things most people cannot or choose not to see. For, this is not your posh ''Sex and The City'' Manhattan which people clamor for, but here, Ruben has been able to find, a vibrant and colorful vision of that other Manhattan.
Like Ruben's Philadelphia friend and influence, photographer Zoe Strauss, he elevates these ''unseen'' people and places with poetic vision, working to create an endearing meaningful life lesson of what it's like when the human spirit makes the best of what others may consider to be so little. This photographic project captures the beauty and struggle of everyday life which resonates as a social document of our time, and as a sheer and powerful visual art.

I would like to thank:
Kris Graves and Gravelle Pierre- For the opportunity
Leslie Farrell- For your friendship and support
Mike Hoeh- For supporting my work since day one and for keep motivating me all along.
Matthew Pillsbury- For curating the show
Gia the Cat-For loving me and keeping me from jumping off a bridge.
Also, many thanks to the people that had taken the time to remember that, I have a show opening this week (You know who you are). It might not mean a lot to some but, for me I think it does. To the ones that had not and will not even taken the time to even acknowledge it, thank you also. From this point on, I will make a point of only collaborating with a very specific and limited group of people, individuals and selected organizations. Let's Call it Fine Tuning if you, catch my drift!
So the show opens this Thursday and some selected works are @ SCOPE NY.

Bailey House Benefit 2.25.10 @ ROSELAND= Sustained Fabulousness!
Photographers Eric McNatt , Eric Odgen and friend rocking the evening away!
Very, very fierce benefit party last night!
Great crowd ,Tasty cocktails (I heard not me drinking, gave it up since Ash Wednesday) tasty food and a pretty fierce Manhattan crowd...seriously!
I had not seen some of these people since my heavy duty party day and shares in Fire Island and the Hamptons ...wow!
A great way to rinse myself from some grime that some people had been trying to pull on me lately. No worries, they will all be handled and out of business very soon.
Speaking of real business, congratulations to Bailey House for such a glamorous evening. Tim Gunn and Simon Noonan was just hilarious as a host! Also, by the time the evening was almost over they raised an estimated $250,000.00 dollars. Yes!!!!
This is all to benefit making a difference in the lives of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS.
Oh... I just loved the Tim Gunn talking bobble head that, came as part of the goodie bag...now Am really going to ...MAKE IT WORK!

Station Independent Projects Presents “Sway “at The Scope Art Fair, New York City, 2010
“Sway” explores how individuals influence each other with their behavior, dress, culture and in doing so how people shape their environment. Recent research has shown that even those peripherally around an individual shape and change that person’s behavior and habits. Taken on a larger scale, these gestures and beliefs go to construct the society we live in and shape all that is around us. The artists in “Sway” take their focus from a multiplicity of vantage points, and they show the various nuances and expressions that people put in motion in their creation of a society, of themselves and the settings that they live in.
Artists: Juliana Beasley, Brian Getnick, Miles Ladin, Deana Lawson, Leah Oates, Ruben Natal San-Miguel, Kari Soinio, Pierre St-Jacques

Road Trip by Leah Oates
Curatorial Statement
Ruben Natal-San Miguel
During her extensive travels throughout different parts of the globe, artist Leah Oates has managed to capture the essence, similarities, differences, integration, complexity and interaction between the natural and the urban landscape. In Oates's images each fuse together in such harmony that they coexist with the other. From Finland to Beijing to Newfoundland to the roads of America, Road Trip is a survey of Oates's photographic vision over the past 10 years. One must always be aware of nature in our every day surroundings as it might not be there for long due to the changing world that we live in today. It is also relevant for all of us to realize how the environment around us affects humans, our behavior and the future. Through this portfolio of fifteen carefully selected and beautiful photographs we are able to see through Oates's eyes and travel on a poetic photographic journey to urban and natural landscapes in many locations.
Enjoy!
Here is the artists statement:

Artist Statement for the "Transitory Space" series
Of human life time is a point, and the substance is in flux...and what belongs to the soul is dream and vapor....
Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations
The work I create first originates as a response to overlooked space that is in a continual state of change. I believe that in everyone there is a sense of flux and a familiarity with this type of space physically and emotionally.
These images are not manipulated on the computer but are multiple exposures onto one negative at a specific location. In this way each image captures a state of flux within a moment and location which has actually transpired.
Transitory spaces have a messy human energy which is always in the present yet constantly changing. I find them endlessly interesting, alive places where there is a great deal of beauty and fragility. They are temporary monuments to the ephemeral nature of human existence in a constant state of change.

Come and see us!
Become an Ultraviolet Beauty
Having our first showing of the work of Cara Phillips this past December in Miami, we were not altogether surprised by the amount of interest generated in her photographs by the many visitors to our gallery booth. In particular her special series of “Ultraviolet portraits” created quite the buzz from both professional curators, other gallerists, and collectors near and wide. Subsequently, we are more than excited to announce the Cara’s special project for SCOPE NY.
In conjunction with the exhibition of Ultraviolet Beauties at our booth, Cara Philips will set up her UV studio and offer collectors the unique chance to get a commissioned Ultraviolet portrait of themselves or a loved one on SCOPE Opening Day. Portrait shots can be arranged directly on location at the photo studio in the SCOPE Lounge or at the Aureus Contemporary Booth (D14). This is an opportunity that will not be repeated again after the SCOPE fair. So please contact us to make arrangements for your portrait commission!
We are looking forward to seeing you in New York!

Elene Usdin @ Farmani Gallery
Photo-Elene Usdin-Garance
Photo- Elene Usdin-Josiane
This an interesting photography approach and show. The kind of that you have to see in person to understand the real craft behind it. Head to Farmani Gallery @DUMBO and check it out!
Elene Usdin makes her New York debut exhibiting her current series Femmes D’Interieur, this month at the Farmani Gallery. Usdin, a Paris based artist, combines both her talents of photography and illustration in these imaginative artworks. Usdin’s stunning imagery also provides social commentary regarding the place of women as the decorations within their own domesticated situations. Usdin will be in attendance for the opening reception.
Usdin, a member of the creative collective Hartland Villa, which includes art directors Lionel Avignon and Stefan Vivies, was recently awarded with the London Photographic Associations Gold in Fashion for the “fair-etale” series. She has also been awarded the 2008 Px3 Prix De La Photographie Paris and the International Photography Awards honorable mention for her earlier series “Self Portrait with Mattress.” Her editorial and fashion work can also be seen in Eyemazing, Twill, and The World Magazine.
This latest series “Femmes D’Interieur,” which has already exhibited at the Gallery of Graphic Arts in Paris, Usdin reflects upon the representation of women as a decorative element, morphing objects like common household items, furniture, and even the countryside with that of women painted in the style of portraits from the Classical Era. This offbeat reinterpretation of “woman-as-object” is at one time unsettling and yet Usdin has the ability to convey this strong subject matter with wit and charm in her stunning artworks. It is has been said of Usdin’s work, “it is always about women – the women of fairytales, of mythology, and of fantasy,” and she provides that same ideology in this series.
Each artwork is a unique original, hand painted C-print mounted on aluminum. For the exhibition the gallery will show a mix of originals and reproductions available in two sizes.
