I baarioti The baariota is the inhabitant of Bagheria, a city a few kilometers from Palermo, in Sicily. It gave birth to artists such as the painter Guttuso, the photographer Scianna and the Oscar-winning director Tornatore. A small diatribe from the end of the 19th century used to make a difference between "baariota" and "bagherese" ... the first concerned mainly those who did not want to have political and administrative…
Pukmina Carrier of Souls In Inuit mythology Pukimna - or Pinga ("the one from above") - is the guardian of the caribou hordes, goddess of fertility and medicine. She also plays a funerary role accompanying the soul of the deceased to Adlivun (life after death). The antler adorning the heads of caribou evoke a tree which roots would be in the skull of the animal, making the latter a "Tree…

In her solo exhibition, Between Forms, fine art photographer Barbara Cole gathers photographs from throughout her career to reveal her long fascination with water as a medium that naturally reshapes form. These photographs explore transformation across time, movement, and image. From women rising through enigmatic waters to anthropomorphized flowers in repose to dreamlike mixtures of digital and analog processes, Between Forms navigates the ethereal forces that constitute Cole’s ever-evolving body…
“You fight it out. And then, after that, you hug it out and you become friends. You know, you become closer, brothers, family. …” For five years, photographer Brian Finke documented StreetBeefs, an underground fight club in rural Virginia founded by an ex-con named Scarface. Tired of seeing his community ravaged by preventable violence and drug-use and fueled by the distrust and failure of the prison system, Scarface began hosting…
"I don’t know who made all these different sculptures, I don’t remember where exactly I found each one […] I shot two rolls […] One in colour and one in black and white. And then I went home and put the exposed rolls back in my camera and shot them again against my body in the living room. I was looking to be surprised. I wanted it to blend and…

Although he has always seen himself as a street photographer in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, he transformed the medium with his pioneering use of color. As an early advocate of color photography, Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of color photography from one of…
Grimm presents its first exhibition with Belgium-based artist Dirk Braeckman titled Luster./ at its New York gallery. This is the artist’s first solo show in New York in over a decade, which brings together photographs and video work from 2012 to 2021. The photographs by Braeckman are enigmatic in their evasion of clear, linear narratives; an approach that can be seen as contradictory to the traditional deliberations of the medium.…
Mid-March 2020: Native New Yorker Gregory J. Peterson is on an early evening walk in his neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when the unthinkable happens. The 24-hour city shuts down to protect its citizens from an invisible, lethal novel coronavirus raging through it. Manhattan’s iconic public spaces are now devoid of people. The monumental Lincoln Center Plaza is emptied of opera and ballet fans. Sounds of skaters…

Often creativity is inspired by conversations with those we are close to, intimacy allowing for revelations that may not otherwise be forthcoming. Back in 2016, Sandro Miller, an award-winning American photographer, and his wife Claude-Aline, were discussing hair, a seemingly prosaic topic. Claude-Aline, an African American woman, shared how she saw her hair as being “the manifestation of my soul past, present, and always on display.” As she spoke an…
