New York documentarian Richard Sandler will be screening two of his films, Brave New York and Sway, at the 6B Garden on August 22.Brave New York is a free form documentary that loosely chronicles the last 12 years of intense change in the east village “hood.” From the reopening of a newly curfewed Tompkins Square Park and Wigstock in ‘92, to the destruction of the cherished Loisaida Community Gardens, to the yuppie invasions of the dot com years, to the present era, indelibly stamped with post-9/11 grief, this durable, lusty neighborhood survives in spite of a real estate gold rush that has excluded all but the well-to-do. The movie’s main voices are those of the artists and street people whose wisdom and commentaries upon the dominant culture give us pause amidst the speedy approach of a “Brave New World.”

A short film about diCorcia’s project here. Thousand makes its exhibition debut as part of LACMA’s diCorcia retrospective, on view through Sept 14.

The book was laid out using a random numbering sequence generated by computers- the narrative then is purely in the viewers mind and it is as if you are looking through a box of old Polaroids… another amazing idea from this great photographer.

Check out this great slide show and story of Jerry Gammon’s art and thoughts. He did some amazing sx-70 manipulations with Time-Zero film. Click the image below to view video.

I am not sure what the idea is behind this one (maybe that instant film grows on trees in Berlin) but it is visually interesting and the addition of the snapshots, which are beautiful in and of themselves, and sx-70 is great!

Beautiful song, the video gets a bit distracting but amazing still. I wish they tried to push the Polaroid stop motion idea a bit furhter and used some composites with stop motion animation in them, or even pushed the picture in picture theme.
