It's MFA show time!

the mfa show is coming up! may 10th at the new urban arts space downtown in the former lazarus building. this is going to be a great event for those of you considering an mfa (i've heard the talk myself "hey danté, going for your masters?). it's also a chance to see some of the work of your ta's (finally the critique is the other way around!). i am hoping to make it to the opening reception so i hope to see some of you there.

may 10th 6 - 9 p.m.

Photographer of the Month


this month's photographer is Chien-Chi Chang. he is a korean photographer who is known for his documentation of the life of illegal immigrants in the section of new york known as chinatown. his work deals with alienation and connection. you can read his bio at magnum photo's web site.
his work was shown at the columbus museum of art last year from the book "the chain". the book deals with mentally ill patients (one who is stable, and the other is unstable) who are chained together as a form of therapy.
