Preview: Chris Anthony – “Venice” @ Corey Helford (Special Exhibition Space)

Posted by juggernut3, March 25, 2009

Award winning photographer Chris Anthony is back with a new series of works hosted Corey Helford Gallery opening March 28th. The show entitled “Venice” is set to a theme where the world is submerged in an icy, overcast, andÂ flooded landscape. Think of intriguing subjects shot and showcasedÂ in a dreary “Waterworld” setting. Breaking into the sceneÂ and hitting his stride asÂ aÂ photographer of gaudy rock bands while just a teenager, Chris thenÂ took some time off after “retiring” at the age of 17 to direct music videos and commercials.

Luke Chueh’s “From Light Cometh Darkness” (previewed) openedÂ last nightÂ at Corey Helford Gallery.

Armory Focus: Mizuma Art @ Armory NYC

Posted by juggernut3, March 21, 2009

Japan’s Mizuma gallery made quite a splash at this year’s Armory, selling out most of the art they imported from the land of the rising sun.
