Dolls: Color Photography by Howard Christopherson
Saturday, February 06, 2010
Icebox Gallery presents: “Dolls” new photographic work by Howard M. Christopherson. Dolls is a body of work of a collection of twenty close-up portraits of porcelain headed dolls photographed in natural light in the same way a real person would be. The effect is intriguing, enchanted, lifelike, adorable and sometimes eerie.
“I have always been interested in photographing mannequins, dolls and masks but this work is unique because it is derived from one woman’s collection of porcelain dolls all shot in the same light giving them a cohesiveness and sisterhood. There is magic in these green, brown and blue eyes that I hope to capture, they transport me to a place somewhere between reality and fabrication. “ –Christopherson
Opening Reception: February 6, 2010 from 8:00 p.m. – midnight
Route Eight-O-Nine by Italian Photographer Umberto Stefanelli
Saturday, February 06, 2010 - Saturday, May 01, 2010
This is the U.S. debut exhibit of Umberto Stefanelli’s new work. Route Eight-O-Nine are made from a collage of Chinese bank notes and Polaroid emulsion transfers that are photographed as a whole, and then digitally printed in limited edition. This work blurs the lines between collage and photography and original and copy. Route Eight-O-Nine is not an actual place found on a Google map; this is a personal place within the artist’s imagination, a place for creative departure on pathways crisscrossed and full of the personal histories and encounters acquired along the journey of his life. The name Eight-O-Nine is derived from Umberto Stefanelli’s long time use of the now extinct Polaroid 809 film.
