T-Minus 3 and Counting

So in just three days, 8 months of hard work comes to a head. My show Click Chic: The Fine Art of Fashion Photography opens. The pre-press for the show has been stellar, the work looks inspiring and beautiful and I'm extremely happy and proud as any parent can be. So if your in New York city on Monday evening, come have a glass of prosecco with me and bask in the excitement. Regular blogging should commence shortly.

Spotting the Finish Line

Again, I have to apologize for my sporadic postings, however I am in the final stretches of Click Chic - meeting with each photographer for them to sign off on the final printer proofs, sending catalogs and invites, and making sure everything at the gallery is ready for installation - that it doesn't leave me a lot of time to do much else... I promise to be back to a regular schedule shortly. Stay tuned.

More from the Curator

So with my show almost less then a month away and all the last minute details, I have not had a lot of time to blog about the important things (Lindsay's arrest, TomKat's party for Posh & Becks, or whether or not Lisa Rinna injects silicone into her lips.) But I promise you this, I have some strong opinions on all of those topics.

This show has been a real creative challenge and I love it. Selecting work by six really talented photographers was the easy part. Now comes the fun challenge of making sure the work fits properly on the wall, preparing a kick-ass guest list and looking over the printer proofs of the catalog. So again dear readers (and not to beat this to death) but if you are in New York City on September 10, please come join me and have a glass of prosecco - would love to see you there.

Fall Must-See

I just wanted to share some pretty exciting news with you all (and this is just the begining). Thanks to the kick-ass PR department at SVA, the fashion photograph show I'm curating "Click Chic: The Fine Art of Fashion Photography" was just named "fall's must-see show" by Elle Magazine. Elle friggin' magazine. I honestly think I'm glowing.

So mark your calendars, the opening reception is September 10th (6-8pm) and don't forget to pick up the August issue of Elle.

In the Name of Fashion

So I promised that I would finally announce some major news in my life. This September, I will be curating a show entitled Click Chic: The Fine Art of Fashion Photography at the Visual Arts Museum at the School of Visual Arts. Six great photographers (all SVA alumni) will be highlighted - Roderick Angle, Guy Aroch, Maki Kawakita, Ryan Michael Kelly, Chiun-Kai Shih and Sarah Silver.

The exhibition opens on Monday, September 10th at 6pm and runs through October 6, 2007. A catalog with my curatorial statement and a new essay by Brain Paul Clamp, director of ClampArt will be available. So I would love it if you all could attend, dear readers - mark your calendars now... a fall must.
