Dog days

As we enter the dog days of summer, the galleries are (true to form) nearly shut down (aka open M-F 9-5). This provides time to research new artists that are not getting exposure or shows I've missed. Almost all new artists I've been interested in have been photographers and (true to form for me) they are all character shots that act almost as films stills. Current favorites include:

David Benjamin Sherry
Part of Greater New York at PS1

Steven Beckly

Not sure if I am dying for him - but definitely intrigued

I was recently in Atlanta with limited time to explore galleries. I did come across the Westside Provisions District - which I am in love with as an urban renewal project - could be reason enough to move to the South.... maybe.

Jackson Fine Art represents some very interesting artists. Specifically, David Hilliard (above- Sought, 2008) and Mona Kuhn, among others. http://www.jacksonfineart.com

Other Atlanta galleries we are researching Tony Hernandez at Astolfi Art (below) and almost everything at Tanner Hill
