ABOUT STEVE McCURRY

Steve McCurry was born in 1950 in a suburb of Philadelphia. He studied film at Pennsylvania State University and after graduating cum laude he worked as a photojournalist for a local newspaper. After visiting India in 1978, the first of countless visits, McCurry embarked on what were to become the formative years of his astonishing career. As the Soviet-Afghan war commenced and Western journalists were prohibited from entering Afghanistan, McCurry crossed the border from Pakistan. He became the first photographer to bring the world images of that conflict.

McCurry’s work has been the subject of solo shows at museums and galleries worldwide, including the Rubin Museum of Art, New York; the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg; Arsenale di Venezia, Italy; Seoul Arts Center, South Korea; Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, Germany; and the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore. His work is in numerous collections, including The Elton John Collection, Atlanta; Musée National d’art Moderne, Paris; The International Center of Photography and The George Eastman Museum, New York; the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; and The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.

SouthamptonArtsCenter We are thrilled to launch our first Storefront Art Project with ALICE HOPE.

SAC Storefront Art Project
ALICE HOPE: Priceless

ON VIEW NOW in the windows of 8 Jobs Lane!

We are thrilled to launch our first Storefront Art Project with ALICE HOPE: Priceless, located in the former Chico’s at 8 Jobs Lane. Priceless is a multimedia installation made with accordioned chromed coat hangers, strung can tabs, and shopping tags. Come take a stroll in the village and check out the first window in this new initiative to keep the village vibrant year round!

Of the project, Artist Alice Hope says “While assembling this installation, my query has been: What’s priceless? I hope for this unanswered question to be the subject of this installation, my first in a store front. In our commodified world and in this commodified discipline, where value equates success, I’m aspiring to transform tens of thousands of blank price tags, a vast population of ephemera, into evanescence.”

SAC Storefront Art Project is made possible, in part, thanks to the Long Island Community Foundation.

Thank you to Mayor Jesse Warren and the Trustees of the Village of Southampton, the landlord of 8 Jobs Lane and Morley Property Management for their support of this project.

If you own a building on Main Street or Jobs Lane that is or will be vacant and you would like to work with SAC on this project or if you are an artist who would like to submit an installation proposal, email Amy Kirwin at akirwin@southamptoncenter.org.

Volta Newsletter: Artists and Their Work looks good!

In this newsletter we re-connect with artists, designers, and galleries, highlighting the spirit of collaboration.

This week we re-connect with artist Shantell Martin on her most recent projects. We take you behind the scenes with Hannah Strickland, designer and creative mind behind VOLTA's redesign and new brand identity.

Ahead of the official opening next week, we preview Galerie Heike Strelow's upcoming exhibition Essential Reduction in Frankfurt, a group show featuring new works by several VOLTA artists.

And as always, we keep you up-to-date with more local exhibitions at VOLTA galleries internationally. Enjoy!

"Collaboration is a very important part of my practice. I think there is so much to explore in so many different areas, and when you collaborate you get the opportunity to learn from your collaborators, in mediums that might not generally be within your comfort zone."
— Shantell Martin

We are thrilled to re-connect with artist Shantell Martin, who has been featured multiple times over the past decade at our sister fair PULSE.

Read the interview between Shantell and Kamiar to catch up with her most recent projects.

"Essential Reduction" focuses on the power and poetry that lies in concentrating on its essence."

Whether intended or desired or not, we are in a time where reduction plays a central role. But reduction does not only mean renunciation, rather it has its own power and poetry. Since the beginning of the 20th century, this insight has encouraged many artists to concentrate on essential questions in their work, and in both modern and contemporary art movements, the concept of reduction has had a key role.

The exhibition Essential Reduction will be on view November 13, 2020 – January 30, 2021.

For interest in acquiring an artwork, please visit the VOLTA website and inquire via the online for. VOLTA will connect you directly with the presenting gallery.

"Redesigning the VOLTA brand was an absolute dream come true, but at the same time I was filled with fear knowing the incredible calibre of artists that are represented at the fairs — how on earth was I ever going to do justice to such a brilliant brand? The good news was that the VOLTA team were so invested in making the new brand a success."
— Hannah Strickland

Earlier this year, the VOLTA team worked on a new design for the fairs in New York, Basel and Miami. Read Kamiar's interview with Hannah Strickland, the creative mind behind the fair's new brand identity.
