The Exposure Project
I’ve been reading The Exposure Project blog for quite a while now for their great taste in photography, but I didn’t know much about the group itself until today. They are a photography collective, and they are having an exhibition and releasing a book of new work next month. The opening and release party is at Tillie’s in Forte Green on August 18.
Litchfield Villa, Prospect Park
I’ve been wanting to take a photograph of this building for quite some time now. A few interesting historical notes about the Litchfield Villa: it was the home of real estate and railroad tycoon Edwin Litchfield, condemned by the city in 1868 (an early case of eminent domain) to make way for Prospect Park. The building now houses the headquarters for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Once upon a time, Litchfield’s property ran all the way down to the Gowanus Canal, and also included the now-landmarked building at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street in Gowanus.
31 under 31: young women in art photography
The Humble Arts Foundation and Ladies Lotto present work by women under 31 at the Gallery at 3rd Ward this Saturday, March 1. The opening is at 7 and requires an RSVP. Unfortunately I can’t make it to the opening, but there will be lots of wonderful photography to see, based on the list of artists involved. The show is open through March 28.
