Books Two Lives and a Dream by Marguerite Yourcenar "I am currently rereading An Obscure Man from this collection of stories. It's a lot about being alone. It takes place in the 17th century during a tuberculosis epidemic. Though she never really says it, the main character has contracted tuberculosis, and eventually goes to live on an island, alone. Yourcenar was a grim and minute kind of writer. I was happy to reread it, and seems perfect for now." From the Vault In this series of image shared by the artist, we take a look at some moments from Linda's fifty year career as a photographer and educator. “Having an art practice, you might occasionally glimpse something that is quite marvelous.” If you no longer wish to receive these messages, please reply with the word "unsubscribe" and you will be promptly removed from this mailing list.  ‌  ‌  ‌

Denise Bibro Fine Art exhibits Aldofo Doring's photos and film October 3 - November 9, 2019.

GALLERY II: ADOLFO DORING PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO     October 3 - November 9, 2019 Adolfo Doring (131-190) Garage, Los Angeles Sylvia Elizabeth, Brooklyn (POSTED 162 GRAMS), 2016 Unique silver gelatin print, 9 x 12.75 inches, framed Denise Bibro Fine Art is pleased to announce its first exhibition of photography and video work by the late multidisciplinary artist, Adolfo Doring. His diptych silver gelatin black and white images are from his POSTED 162 Grams series and the larger photos are from his American Burger series. Doring's solo exhibition runs October 3 - November 9, 2019. Doring's diptychs are based on images of females and environmental scenes that he posted on Instagram from August 2014 - September 2015. Each image of a female figure and the environment were assigned a layer of meta-data to differentiate the two types of images, then a second set of meta-data was assigned to indicate the number of likes for each image, which he would combine to make a diptych. When selecting which images would be placed on the right and the left, Doring left it completely up to chance; he flipped a coin. In his own words, "The random nature of the process has given me the unexpected pleasure of experiencing unexpected compositions." The American Burger series and the video shown about highways in Mexico City display the commercialism, fast pace and unpredictability in the city, although quite different they are still in tone with his humanistic and idiosyncratic style. The video shown sets a contrasting tone from the rich, vintage tones of the photograph, echoing the nuts and bolts of the infrastructure of motorways in his native city, Mexico City, full of the life, movement and pace of the city. His compositions are silver gelatin prints. His photographs reference the daguerreotypes of nineteenth-century photography. As New York writer, Miss Rosen states, "... when regular people who might not be able to afford a portrait could have likenesses preserved-much in the same way digital photography has democratized the image making. By translating digital photographs back to film, Doring illustrates that progress is not necessarily a linear affair, just as randomness is a valuable tool in the creative process." Rosen further notes ".... that somewhere where between chance and mystery lies imagination." Doring has been behind the camera since he was a teenager in Mexico City, where he shot his first documentary about the stark divide between rich and poor. Later he had an extensive and illustrious career making films, documentaries, music videos, taking photographs, and crafting art installations centered upon his videos. He studied law at Universidad Anahuac in Mexico City, Mexico, and Sociology and Film at Columbia University, New York. His video work in the music industry earned him an MTV Music Video Award. His narrative films and documentaries earned him critical praise (Metro premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2009) and his video installations have travelled the world over. Since 2010 his works have been featured in many Whitebox Center shows as well as in other exhibitions curated by Silas Von Morisse Gallery, New York, NY; Raul Zamudio-in Shanghai, China; Monterrey, Mexico; San Jose, Costa Rica; and Saint Angelo, Italy. Adolfo's untimely death in 2016 leaves behind a rich legacy for future generations to cherish.
