Lecture Today: Amelia's World: Animal Affinity Presented by Robin Schwartz

Photo superstore, B&H is presenting an artist talk today with the talented Robin Schwartz, known for her series," Amelia's World."

From the website
During her lecture at B&H, Robin will discuss her project “Amelia’s World: Animal Affinity,” which displays Amelia’s remarkable relationship with animals. This body of work conveys Amelia’s extraordinary comfort level with animals, which they in turn share with her. Robin’s passion for animals and the spiritual connection she gains from photographing them inspired her to explore on a deeper level the real and fictional interspecies relationships, portrayed through portraits of Amelia.

Hijacked- opening tonight!

Big City Press just anounced the release of their new book and exhibition, Hijacked. It features 24 Australian and 20 American photographers. Among the American artists showing are Amy Stein, Lisa Kereszi, Angela Boatwright, Alana Celii, Suzy Poling, Robin Schwartz, Sarah Small, and Jennifer Juniper Stratford.

"ChiefMag.com in collaboration with Big City Press and The Arm, enthusiastically present HIJACKED: VOLUME ONE, AUSTRALIA AND AMERICA book launch photo exhibition. Presenting the public with the most provocative and diverse new photography from Australia and America, HIJACKED breaks down barriers between artists, genres, and hemispheres to further the aim of contemporary photography.

While the work of each of the 44 photographers is wholly individual, the photographs collected in this book and exhibition speak of the time and place in which we live. HIJACKED embraces our prevailing wanderlust; these creative minds exhibit a fascination with international subcultures, fragmented trends, alternate lifestyles and urban landscapes. Explorations of suburban pleasures are placed on par with ‘high’ artistic experimentation. HIJACKED, a book of photography, is a survey of contemporary photography in both The United States and Australia."

Opening reception:

Friday, June 6th 7pm-11pm
The Arm, 281 N. 7th St., Brooklyn, NY
Music by DJ Rev McFly and DJ Teenwolf
