Parr says of his work, “With photography, I like to create fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society’s natural prejudice and giving this a twist.”

In recent years, Parr has developed an interest in filmmaking, and has started to use his photography within different conventions, such as fashion and advertising.  In 2002 the Barbican Art Gallery and the National Media Museum in England initiated a retrospective of Martin Parr’s work, which toured Europe for five years.  He is a visiting professor at the University of Wales, Newport campus, and he is a full member of Magnum Photographic Corporation.

An international exhibit of varying media from Japan, Germany, Korea, Australia, the United States, Czech Republic, Cayman Islands, Estonia, Japan, and Italy, Still Spot is a group show of twelve artists, who offer works that are quiet at first look, but upon closer inspection will reveal intensity of either technique, material, or affect.
  These diverse practices include labor-intensive precise cuts in paper, hundreds of magazine eyes behind a translucent vellum veil, rock-hard slate that has been filed down meticulously against its nature, and tiny five-inch square drawings that are so intricate that they are at the very limits of our ability to see.  At the other extreme is a room-size installation where we stand in the midst of hundreds of nine-foot high skinny strips of paper, so we become lost in the white quietude.  This totality of works is assembled to bring the gallery visitor into a "still spot" in the midst of dynamic Manhattan, a momentary oasis in the center of our busy lives.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery Presents - Neal Preston

The Morrison Hotel Gallery
Presents
NEAL PRESTON

October 27, 2011, New York, NY - The Morrison Hotel Gallery in Soho is excited to present an exhibition of photography from the prolific Neal Preston. The exhibit will be open to the public beginning Friday, November 11th and Neal will be appearing at the gallery on Saturday, November 12th from 1 to 5 PM, which will be open to the public.  
 

This notable exhibition will feature classic photographs and also never-before-seen images from 40-year-old negatives that may not have otherwise been useable, but were salvaged using modern-day technology. Some of the photos even Neal himself had not yet seen - including The Doors, Janis Joplin and the MC5.

With a career that began in high school and continues to this day, Neal Preston's photographs have appeared in every conceivable media outlet - on the covers and pages of world-class magazines (People - as a major contributing photographer from 1979-2007, Time, Rolling Stone), in newspapers, books on TV, and  in countless record, CD and DVD covers. Through his longtime friendship with acclaimed director Cameron Crowe, Neal has provided photography and inspiration for such films as "Almost Famous", "Vanilla Sky" and the soon-to-be-released "We Bought A Zoo." His archive, a body of work spanning almost 4 decades, is regarded as one of the music industry's most extensive and significant photo collections.   

Preston has toured the world with the who's-who of rock royalty - Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Heart, Billy Joel and more.  

Also a gifted sports photographer, Neal has covered six Olympic Games, from the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia to the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy.  He has photographed major sporting events as varied as the World Series, NBA and NFL playoff games, World Cup soccer matches, and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Preston has been honored with a permanent exhibit at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and his images have also been on display at the Smithsonian, Yankee Stadium, Wembley Stadium, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.   
Of his second-ever New York showing at The Morrison Hotel Gallery, Preston says, "For this show, I'm busting out some of the 'greatest hits' along with some previously unseen gems that I've mined from my archives - most of them shot when I was still in high school. I want people to feel like they've uncovered a kind of cool rock-and-roll time capsule, which is exactly how I felt when I was bringing some of these photos back to life."

Having just celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, The Morrison Hotel Gallery was founded in 2001 by Peter Blachley, a former record company executive, producer Rich Horowitz, a former independent record store owner, and Henry Diltz, a legendary music photographer. The gallery has since grown to become a major brand in fine art music photography and is respected amongst peers and artists alike.

Wait Watchers: A Series of Photographs by Haley Morris Cafiero

FOAHEADER
Haley Cafiero 


Wait Watchers: a series of photographs by Haley Morris Cafiero

Opening Reception: Friday, October 7, 6 P.M. - 9 P.M, screenings 6:30, 7:30, 8:30.

FilmsOnArtists is proud to present a short documentary (runtime: 6 mins) on performance photographer Haley Morris-Cafiero, winner of FOA's International Juried Competition 2010.  

Morris-Cafiero was selected out of field of several hundred global artists and out of a curated show of 40 artists to win a solo show and a documentary created by FilmOnArtists. 

Wait Watchers is a series of photographs where Morris-Cafiero reverses the gaze of strangers reacting to her performing mundane tasks in public by documenting their reactions to her with her camera.  By placing her camera out in public and aiming the camera at her, Morris-Cafiero does things that everyone does in public: talk on the phone, eat a cup of gelato, wait for a cab. But while doing these acts, Morris-Cafiero records the unsolicited reaction of people who walk by and react by sneering, laughing and gawking.

Haley Morris-Cafiero is a photographer based in Memphis. She uses film and digital rangefinders to capture her images. The unaltered images are printed using digital processes. Haley received her MFA in Art from the University of Arizona and her BFA in Ceramics and BA in Photography from University of North Florida. She is currently an Associate Professor and Head of the Photography Department at Memphis College of Art.  

Her work can be seen on her website atwww.haleymorriscafiero.com.
