| | | Erin Shirreff : Landscapes, Heads, Drapery and Devils
Lisa Cooley Gallery, New York, NY USA United States of America Lisa Cooley is pleased to present new work by Erin Shirreff in her first solo exhibition with the gallery, Landscapes, Heads, Drapery, and Devils. The exhibition opens on Sunday, October 25th and runs until December 20th, 2009. The exhibition title derives from a list of things that are commonly �seen� when we are confronted with perceptual ambiguity. In the moments before our mind can reconcile an unfamiliar shape or mass, it overlays fragments of a known quantity in an effort to recognize and order our experience. This process of projection and the fragments of our selves that we embed into our understanding of the world - the making of recognition - has been the basis of Shirreff's photography, video, and sculpture for the past several years. The nonspecific descriptors in the show�s title sets the stage for a body of work that is temporally placeless, in�Landscapes, Heads, Drapery, and Devils�Shirreff conjures forms that evoke ancient geologic history and otherworldly, ephemeral phenomena.� - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | The Self and the Other . Portraiture in Contemporary Indian Photography
ARTIUM, Basque Centre-Museum of Contemporary Art, Vitoria-Gasteiz, ES Spain The Self and the Other is an exploration of the photographic gaze that engages with personal and cultural identity. While personal identity can be viewed through different constructs of the Self, one cannot overlook the representation of the Other to understand the cultural identity of a people. Being the most enduring subject of a photographer�s gaze, the Other has played a significant role in the crystallisation of human memory and opinion. The subtitle of the exhibition, Portraiture in Contemporary Indian Photography refers to the prism through which we will view the shifts, dichotomies and disturbances across the complex social fabric of life in India. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
