	Matthew Pillsbury Monograph to be published by Aperature The Aperature foundation will be publishing Matthew Pillsbury's first monograph. The book titled City Stages will be published soon: "Over the past decade, Pillsbury has built several extensive bodies of work—Screen Lives, Hours, and City Stages—that deal with different facets of contemporary metropolitan life and the passage of time. Working with black-and-white 8-by-10 film and long exposures, Pillsbury captures a range of psychologically charged experiences in the urban environment, from isolation—tuned into the omnipresent screens of our tablets, laptops, televisions, and phones—to crowded museums, parades, cathedrals, and even protests."

	Karine Laval featured in WAG Magazine The May issue of WAG Magazine has an article on Karine Laval and the new exhibition here at the gallery: "I see a parallel between the surface of the water and the surface of the computer screen and the way they contain light and movement. It therefore feels natural to me to use the computer screen in a similar manner I have used the surface of the water – as a distorting lens to generate images of transformed reality. Also, both water and the screen have a shimmering and seductive quality one can be drawn to. Most of these new works are abstract, but somehow they are still connected to the body and the notion of performance and materiality." See the article HERE

	Bonni Benrubi Gallery featured in Art in America The gallery is featured in Art in America this week in an article called AIPAD Photography Show: Top Ten: "Twentieth-century and contemporary photography stalwart Bonni Benrubi Gallery does not disappoint with a striking, if too small, selection of French photographer Stephane Couturier's work. Even though Brasilia, Monument no. 1 (2007-08), from his Melting Point series, is not Couturier's strongest work, it nonetheless reflects his sharp sense of design, composition and color, and his lyrical, painterly ability to represent transformation."

	Gillian Laub Featured in The Slate The Slate has a photo essay up this week by Gillian laub called On "Passover, Celebrating Life and Ritual in a Jewish Family." Read the whole article and see the photos HERE

	Laura McPhee featured in Le Journal de la Photographie Laura McPhee's current exhibition, Desert Chronicle is the subject of a feature in Le Journal de la Photographie this week: "This series of photographs reveals the sheer power of the ecosystem, with giant lines that the camera is unable to capture in their entirety. At first glance into the impressive darkness, the eye perceives a more fragile reality: the trees are stripped of their needles, knocked down and torn apart by the wind. We find this same ambiguity in a photograph of charred tree trunks, always placed firmly in a setting where the black stands out against the blurry plantlife."

	The Bonni Benrubi gallery is pleased to announce representation of Stephane Couturier The gallery is excited to be representing the work of Stephane Couturier. In 1994, Stéphane Couturier showed the first works in a series called Urban Archaeology, viewing the city as a living organism. From 1999 onwards, Stéphane Couturier began to focus on mushrooming housing developments with his Monuments series. In 2002, the uniformity and repetitiveness of these landscapes around the world drove him to begin working on the series Landscaping, with polyptychs. With a new body of work called Melting Point, Couturier changed his visual approach. The technical and visual protocols put into play as a matter of fact obey a visual and deliberate conceptual orientation—to divert the documentary aspect of photography, to shift and transcend its narrative dimension, to question its reputation as beholder of truth.

	Massimo Vitali featured in The New York Times Magazine Massimo Vitali's new work from Brazil is the subject of a photo essay in The New York Times Magazine this week titled "Brazil Through the Lens of Massimo Vitali": "Massimo Vitali first began taking pictures of crowds in 1994 and ever since has traveled the world documenting how and where people gather: picnickers in the Luxembourg Gardens, spectators at an air show in Viareggio, tourists massed on the Piazza San Marco. In the following pages, Vitali turns his camera on Brazil, moving, over the course of three weeks, from the urban density of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to the empty sands of Brazil’s northeast.: Read the whole article and see the photos HERE

	Simon Norfolk featured in The New Yorker In this week’s issue of the The New Yorker, Nick Paumgarten writes about Spain’s economic collapse and includes images by Simon Norfolk: "Simon Norfolk’s photographs present the stark reality of Spain’s economic collapse, conveying the sense of uncertainty and foreboding that sheaths not only this particular housing complex but also Spain’s economic future. “Everyone wanted this boom and prosperity to go on forever,” Norfolk said. “Everyone wanted to get rich doing nothing.” Read the whole article and see the photos HERE

	PAOLO PELLEGRIN receives a 2013 World Press Photo Award Paolo Pellegrin has recieved the World Press Photo Award this year in General News, 2nd prize stories, for his series The Crescent: "The area of Rochester, New York, USA, where these pictures were taken is part of the so-called 'Crescent', a moon-shaped area that runs across several city neighborhoods. Crime rates here are significantly higher than the rest of Rochester. The Crescent is home to 27 percent of the city's residents and 80 percent of the city's homicides. The causes of the burst of violence include the lagging upstate economy, a steady migration of residents to the suburbs, and a growing number of abandoned houses prone to become centers of drug sales and use. Rochester also has a school system that performs poorly. People inside the Crescent experience those problems in greater concentration." See all the winners, and more from Pelligrin's series HERE

	The Wall Street Journal review of Louis Stettner's current exhibition Louis Stettner's current exhibition, The Masterpieces is featured in an artice in The Wall Street Journal this week: "Place Saint-Augustin, l’inlassible pieton de Paris” (1993) demon- strates his ability to create signifi- cant images from casual elements; the upside-down reflection of a bare tree and the facade of a beaux-arts building in a puddle on the sidewalk is at the bottom of the picture, and the legs of a man taking a rapid stride are on top. The two parts are arranged on a diagonal and are somehow very satisfying." Read the review HERE

	Jehad Nga's Green Book series featured in le journal de la photographie Le Journal de la Photographie is featuring an article on Jehad Nga's new series The Green Book: "In this series, Jehad Nga technically applies to images the same treatment that Gaddafi inflicted on his people. The details of the process – an alteration of the binary essence of the image by integrating the text of the book in its code – are superfluous but lay the foundations for a distortion of reality via an alienation of the photographic grammar. It was legitimate to respond to Gaddafi’s Manichean vision with a binary system" Read the complete story HERE

	Matthew Pillsbury featured in The Daily Mail Matthew Pillsbury'e City Stages images are the subject of a photo essay in The Daily Mail this week called A love letter to New York. See the complete series HERE

	Josef Hoflehner featured in The Wall Street Journal Josef Hoflehner's book of Airplane photographs Jet Airliner (Most Press) is the subject of a short piece in The Wall Street Journal this month: "Father-and-son photographers Josef and Jakob Hoflehner have an eye for comedy, capturing bikini-clad bystanders who appear oblivious and others annoyed by the way the swooping planes send sand and hair flying. Yet most of these folks seem to think this the most exciting thing they have seen all week. Families grab cameras, young men climb the airport fence to get ever-more-dangerously close, and swimmers in the sea turn toward the incoming plane like worshipers welcoming a god."

	Matthew Pillsbury featured in The Slate Matthew Pillsbury is the subject of a feature in The Slate.com's photo blog:Behold: “In my own exploration of the city over the years, I’ve become both attached to some of its iconic places and structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge, but I’ve also taken a keen interest in the new additions, such as Jane’s Carousel and Brooklyn Bridge Park, that push the city to evolve while still reflecting its past. The extreme multiculturalism of New York City creates a heightened energy that few other cities possess, and its incredibly varied architecture mirrors that, creating a striking backdrop for my images.” See the story HERE

	The Bonni Benrubi gallery is pleased to announce representation of Lauren Semivan The gallery is now representing the work of Detroit based artist lauren Semivan. Semivan's photos are beautiful, evocative images created by capturing staged scenes of drawing, scupture, portraiture and still life: “Science is inherently experiential, as is art making. Knowing and feeling are not separate, and the whole of the environment can be used as a pedagogic instrument. Observatory elegantly draws upon a tension that exists between irrational and physical worlds. Within each image, ghosts of previous drawings create a sense of time suspended, evoking gesture, atmosphere and memory. Photographs allow me to access the extraordinary, to keep a record of dreams, and to employ the unknown.” Visit the gallery to see prints of this exceptional work. Her website can also be seen HERE

	Abelardo Morell in The New Yorker Abelardo Morell's currnt show in the gallery, Rock Paper Scissors is featured in this week's New Yorker Magazine. See the story HERE

	Abelardo Morell Featured at Bloomberg.com Abelardo Morell's current Exhibition, Rock Paper Scissors is featured this week on Bloomberg.com: "For the works on view in the show “Rock Paper Scissors,” at Bonni Benrubi Gallery, the Boston-based artist uses a lightproof tent with a periscope as a camera obscura, capturing a view from outside the tent and blending it with the ground inside. So his Golden Gate Bridge magically rests on what looks like a gray sky with green clouds but is actually arid ground with grassy patches. “Depending on the quality of the surface terrain, these views can take on a variety of painterly effects,” Read the story HERE

	Time Lightbox posts Gillian Laub's Thanksgiving Gillian Laub has documented her growing family for years, and this year Time Light Box has posted images from her recent Thanksgiving shoot. "For as long as she can remember, Thanksgiving has been photographer Gillian Laub’s favorite holiday. “So many of my memories from childhood are around Thanksgiving because I have a huge family, and that was when everyone from all sides came together.” Ten years ago, Laub began photographing her family’s annual gatherings—which take place at Laub’s childhood home or her sister’s house in upstate New York—an experience she says has allowed her to watch her family grow up and record the process for posterity. “I really started photographing Thanksgiving because there’s something incredible about the time of the year,” Laub says. “The changing and transitioning of the seasons and the aging of my family members—there was something symbolic that I wanted to mark and document.”" See the story HERE

	Louis Stettner retrospective at The Bibliothèque Nationale de France At the end of the year, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France will present a retrospective of Louis Stettner's career. The exhibition will run from December 11, 2012 to January 27, 2013. David Guiraud, the curator, decided to focus on Stettner’s masterpieces, showing vintage prints of his most well-known photographs. From the famous "Enfants d'Aubervilliers" (1947) and “Twin Towers” (1977), seen in the fog with a bird rushing toward them, to a 1954 portrait of Manhattan as seen from Brooklyn, we see his humanistic and poetic vision, shrouded in lights of which he alone knew the secret.

	Susannah Ray photos featured in The New York Times.com The New York Times Lens blog has posted a story titled "Recalling the ‘Right Coast,’ Before the Storm" today, which features images from Susannah Ray's Right Coast series: "There is something a little elegiac for me to look a those pictures,” she said last week, as plumbers fixed the heat and hot water systems in her home, which had flooded to the basement ceiling. “These photos were never intended to glorify surfing. Now they’re about saying this is another community that has been disrupted, maybe even irreparably damaged by the force of the waves. These pictures were a kind of love song to the Rockaways. Now, they’re almost like a dirge." See the whole story HERE.

	Abelardo Morell feature in New York Photo Review Abelardo Morell's current exhibition Rock Paper Scissors is featured in The New York Photo Review this week: "Using an elaborate tent set-up to project images onto the ground in order to photograph them, Morell essentially works around digital photography’s inability to do double exposure well, if at all. All the color work shown at Bonni Benrubi has something of interest to offer, with the most intriguing suggesting earth drawings on the order of the Nazca lines in Peru. All of them have a textural quality, both tactile and mysterious, which gives one the feeling of looking through a window on a particularly windy day. Along with their generally muted colors, they suggest old postcards and hand painted prints." Read the full review HERE.

	Christopher Payne interview on Urban Omnibus Urban Omnibus, a project of the Architectural League of New York, is featuring an interview with Chris Payne on their website: "Out of the Asylum project I developed an interest in manufacturing. The hospital complexes were meant to be self-sufficient, so making things was a significant component of daily life. That spoke to me, because it’s something we don’t really see nowadays. We tend not to know where the things we consume come from. But go to these state hospitals, and there’s the dairy farm, there’s the farm, there’s where they made the shoes and clothes, and that’s the power plant and that’s the sewage treatment plant. It was all right there. And thinking about how the patients made all of these things helped shed a better light on the institutions." Read the entire interview HERE.

	Jehad Nga's new series featured in Time Lightbox The Green Project, a new series by Jehad Nga, is featured in a short essay and slideshow in Time Lightbox: "Once the images were captured, I wanted to further explore the meaning of my action. I first reduced each image to its most basic structure, binary code, which singled it out from the other billion bits of data shooting through the sky. This conversion exposed each image’s digital “cell structure”—millions of algorithms mathematically, miraculously unified to produce something of beauty. Code is built in layers, each with a metaphor constructed by its programmer to enact and describe its behavior. Reducing an image to pure binary data strips it of any individual identity, any protection, and any premise." Read the whole story HERE.

	Chris Payne in the Wall Street Journal Christopher Payne's current show One Steinway Place is the subject of a short review by William Meyers in the latest Wall Street Journal: "Mr. Payne is fascinated by the shapes of the various parts of the pianos. "Piano Rims in Conditioning Room" (2012) looks down an immense corridor made of the rims placed side by side with their rounded end up; the curves on the right side line up rhythmically down the aisle."

	Susannah Ray featured in Lenscratch photo blog Lenscratch photo blog has a feature on Susannah Ray this week: "Surf culture is usually associated with the West Coast. Our visions of the Beach Boys and Gidget inform our imaginations, as do sunny skies and palm trees, but photographer Susannah Ray sees surfing a little differently. Shot on the "right coast", there is a intensity and unique perspective about surfing in the proximity of New York City, especially in the winter." Read the whole article HERE.

	Chris Payne featured in The Huffington Post Chris Payne's current exhibition One Steinway Place is the subject of a feature in the Huffington Post called 'One Steinway Place': The Year-Long Process Of Crafting A Steinway Piano: "By looking intently at the step-by-step process of constructing a piano, Payne offers a portrait of the craftsmanship that animates wood into sinuous curves, steel into pulsating string, felt into hammer, and ivory that responds to minute gradations of human touch."

	Vanessa Atlan's Wonderland Stereo featured on Le Journal de la Photographie Vanessa Atlan's Wonderland Stereo series is featured in this week's Le Journal de la Photographie: "A mise-en-abîme of pop culture, this fake label plays with the rules of the genre, working both as an homage and a parody. The artist offers reflections on the star system, this machine that transforms miserable lives into fabulous epics overnight, and the almost narcotic power of the codified representations that make for the beauty and mythology of rock. A total work of art, Wonderland Stereo reminds us of the fundamental role played by the imagination in all creative processes. It can create entire fictional lives from scratch. This is a plausible world, where the border between fiction and reality is constantly pushed." Read the entire story HERE.

	Chris Payne featured in Elle Magazine Raquel Laneri has written a full length feature in Elle Magazine this month about Chris Payne's current exhibition at the gallery: "Payne is obsessed with craftsmanship. A trained architect, his interest in how buildings, objects, and, on a grander scale, societies are put together and function drives his photographic work: series on mental asylums, deserted communities, and textile factories. "One Steinway Place" pulls apart the engineering and artistry that go into making a piano: the bandaged hands that pull the piano strings through its body; the elderly man applying varnish with his paintbrush; the hammers and jagged pieces of metal and accordion-like machinery that do who knows what. But unlike his previous photo series, which eulogized the abandoned or forgotten, "One Steinway Place" is pulsing with life. "I’d like to think I’m moving in a direction where I’m celebrating what’s happening now as opposed to just looking in the past," says Payne." Read the entire story HERE.

	Abelardo Morell featured in The San Francisco Chronicle The San Francisco Chronicle has featured a story on Abelardo Morell and his new images of The Golden gate Bridge: "It's really an old-fashioned idea of using light projected in a camera obscura way," says Morell, who came out from his suburban Boston studio on a blustery weekend in April. His mission was to make three oversize prints to enhance his installation "Vertigo," which involves a working camera obscura set up inside Fort Point. The location he has chosen for his shoot is above the fort at East Battery. He arrives directly from the airport as the western winds are still clearing the skies of a thunderstorm. The tent is a white geodesic dome with black lining that keeps it dark inside. To give the image depth and mystery Morell scatters rocks and debris on the tent floor. "The effect is kind of a naturally made surrealism," he says. Read the whole article HERE.

The results of his globe-trotting projects have been exhibited worldwide and showcased in the books Landscape and Figures and Natural Habitats, both published by Steidl, as well as in V.F.’s May issue.

	Christopher Payne photographs in the New York Times Magazine Chris Payne's photographs of the Steinway factory in Astoria, Queens are featured in The New York Times magazine for a story called The Steinway Way: "Nothing enters the Steinway factory in Astoria, Queens, looking anything like a piano. The wood, for example, is just lumber, before it is shaped into the rim of the instrument. Assembling the pianos takes months, with a lot of waiting between steps so that the wood can be conditioned properly. Near the end of the process, each piano is wheeled into the ‘‘pounding room,’’ where 88 rubber fingers play the instrument for hours, breaking in the piano and exposing any problems or weaknesses..."

	Paolo Pellegrin Exhibition at The Maison Europeene de la Photo in Paris The Maison Europeene de la Photo in Paris is hosting an exhibition of Paolo Pellegrin prints until June 17th: This exhibition, the first major retrospective on the work of Paolo Pellegrin, was presented at the Fondazione Forma, Milan, in 2011. It features some 200 prints from photographic series and reportage work including: Cambodia (1998), Kosovo (1999-2001), Iraq (2003), Darfur (2004), Palestine/West Bank (2002-2004), Hurricane Katrina (2005), the Tsunami (2005), Gaza (2005), Haiti (1995-2010), Afghanistan and Lebanon (2006), and Iran (2009). All represent essential phases in Pellegrin's journalistic career, and reflect a worldview founded on both passion and talent. The exhibition title, Dies iræ ( 'day of wrath' in Latin), is that of a partially apocalyptic poem that used to be sung in requiem masses. Written in Latin on the subject of God's wrath on Judgment Day, the poem talks of the return of Christ and the summoning of God's creatures before His throne so that their actions may be judged.

	Matthew Pillsbury's current exhibition featured in The New York Times Matthew Pillsbury's current exhibition City Stages is the subject of a New York Times article by Clinton Cargill titled "Matthew Pillsbury’s New York Stages": "Pillsbury’s photographs, taken with a large-format camera using long exposures, track the way we occupy these spaces over time, so that rather than being pictures of landmarks, they reflect the blurred residue of lived experience. In a photograph from the Big Apple Circus, we see the traces of a contortionist’s performance, but also the subtle movements of the audience members as they watch. In a photograph taken from the press riser at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the swarming crowds lining the street are as important as the floats gliding through the frame."

	Abelardo Morell featured in Focus Magazine The latest issue of Focus Magazine features a lengthly interview with Abelardo Morell: "It dawned on me that it might be interesting to try to make a picture inside that huge camera. I had no idea how to do it technically. I converted our living room into a camera obscura—with a hole [cut into one of the window coverings]—and we could see inside the room what the upside-down image [from the outside] was. The trick was to figure out how to make an exposure inside such a room. My first experiences were failures, because I thought, I’ll do a fiveminute exposure, then run down to the darkroom to develop it—and it was blank. OK, then half an hour—blank. Two hours, and there were just the beginning of highlights. Anyway, it took me half a summer to figure out that for the pictures I was making at that time, an exposure of about eight hours was required..."

	*Massimo Vitali, Arcadian Remains,* a Critic's Pick in this month's Artforum.** Chloe Rossetti has a review of Massimo Vitali's current exhibition in the latest issue of Artforum: "...The scale of the coastlines in Vitali’s enormous, saturated C-prints dwarf their fleshy inhabitants, creating a Where’s Waldo–type effect; a patient viewer is handsomely rewarded with a smorgasbord of candid moments between unknowing participants. The prints line the walls of the gallery on all sides, encircling a seating area that invites a leisurely look. It takes time to pick out what one might consider to be the “stars” of these scenes. In Les Catedrales, Low Tide, 2011, for example, a row of four intertwined visitors walk away from the knotted crowd, turning their backs on a pristine sea—three are dressed in identical white, flanked by an individual in a blood-red shirt. In Porto Miggiano, 2011, a white-haired man in neon-blue swimming trunks squats awkwardly on a rock. An inflatable blue mattress leans precariously on a nearby outcropping, out of place in the flesh-and-limestone landscape." Read the entire review HERE.

	Jeffrey Milstein's “AirCraft: The Jet as Art” Opens at the National Air and Space Museum "AirCraft: The Jet as Art" opens at the National Air and Space Museum Nov. 25 and will be on display for one year. The exhibition will feature 33 super-sized photographic archival-pigment prints that transform aviation technology into fine art. A photographer and pilot, Jeffrey Milstein captures speeding aircraft as they are about to land and creates crisp images that highlight the design, color and symmetry of his subjects. Milstein uses photographic post-processing techniques and neutral backgrounds to focus attention on the elegance, colors and form of each aircraft. The aircraft with their spread wings evoke the human form or that of birds or insects. "Milstein’s photographs of frozen moments evoke speed, technology and the excitement of flight," said Carolyn Russo, curator of the exhibition. "The enormity of the images seems to pull you into the air, as though you are going along for the ride. Collectively, Milstein’s jets are a photographic typology and part of an important trend in contemporary photography." Jeffrey Milstein will be in the gallery from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, signing the AirCraft: the Jet as Art book published by Harry N. Abrams. The National Air and Space Museum building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. The museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located in Chantilly, Va., near Washington Dulles International Airport. Both facilities are open daily from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free, but there is a $15 fee for parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

John Burke (1843-1900) was an Irishman who photographed the Second Anglo-Afghan War, 1878-1880.

He was indicating a precise point near the front of the stage, a few feet right of centre, where Maria Callas invariably took up position during performances there.

	Gillian Laub feature in Time \| Light Box Gillian Laub's images of the Tel Aviv Beach have been featured in Time Magazine's Light Box "Every Jew has two requests of God: a place in paradise in the next world, and a place on the Tel Aviv beach in this world,” wrote Sholem Asch, the Polish-born novelist, in 1937. Stretching five kilometers from its southern tip at the old port city of Jaffa to the new cluster of high rise hotels and condos at its northern end, Tel Aviv’s beach (or Tayelet as it’s called in Hebrew) probably looked a little different in Asch’s day. But I think of him as part of a long legacy of both travelers and natives who have sought refuge in those sands from Israel’s political dramas, which can gush like a Texas oil well. At the beach, I discovered Israel in all its vitality, without the conflict."

The artist has concocted a visual ambrosia of wild hues, fervid blossoms, and pouty lips.

	SIMON NORFOLK reviewed in the London Evening Standard "Separated by almost a century and a half, John Burke and Simon Norfolk have become umbilically linked through photographs taken during two of Britain's wars in Afghanistan. Norfolk's impeccable research into Burke's documentary of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880) led to his own 2010 photographic project and he echoes the scenes preserved from the 19th-century pioneer's beautifully ornate photo-album."

	Abelardo Morell featured in National Geographic "Something strange and wonderful happens when light enters a dark space through a tiny opening. Aristotle described the phenomenon back in the fourth century B.C. Leonardo in Renaissance Italy sketched the process. In Coney Island and other 19th-century seaside resorts, tourists lined up to see the magical results. Shift to a Boston classroom, the year 1988. Cuban-born Abelardo Morell, teaching an introductory photography course at an art college, was curious to step back in time. On a sunny day, he covered the classroom windows with black plastic, making the space as dark as a cave, cut a dime-size hole in the material, and told his students to watch. Almost instantly the back wall came alive like a movie screen, its surface covered with a fuzzy image of people and cars moving along Huntington Avenue outside. Then the double take: The image was upside down, sky on floor, ground on ceiling, the laws of gravity seemingly gone haywire."

	Simon Norfolk Reviewed in Financial Times "On the south bank of the Thames, Tate Modern is having an overtly political moment. Its customary letters facing St Paul’s Cathedral spell out the message RELEASE AI WEIWEI, referring to the Chinese artist who was a beneficiary of a Unilever commission at Tate and is now under arrest in China. In the week that Osama bin Laden was executed in Pakistan, a powerful exhibition opens that focuses on the war in Afghanistan just over the border. Simon Norfolk is a British photographer who has worked in Afghanistan before with considerable distinction. His book Afghanistan Chronotopia contrasted the appalling hardware used in the war with the beautiful mountain and desert landscapes in which it was waged. Norfolk is not a classic war photographer by any means – he is as interested in landscape as in conflict, and more interested in memory and the reshaping of truth than in anything practical. He is a radical intellectual with a camera." For the full review, please visit the Financial Times website: Burke + Norfolk, Tate Modern, London

	SIMON NORFOLK exhibition in the L2 gallery at the Tate Modern In October 2010, Simon Norfolk began a series of new photographs in Afghanistan, which takes its cue from the work of nineteenth-century British photographer John Burke. Norfolk’s photographs reimagine or respond to Burke’s Afghan war scenes in the context of the contemporary conflict.

	GEORGES DAMBIER featured in Cathy Horyn's On the Runway in The New York Times Fashion section “Georges Dambier, whose work is the subject of a delightful exhibition at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery on East 57th Street (through May 27), liked to use Paris as the backdrop for his fashion photographs. Or Cannes or Marrakesh. This was the postwar world of jazz clubs, existentialists, cheap travel, uncrowded streets, beautiful cars, artists and, of course, Paris couture. With his Rolleiflex, Mr. Dambier, who will be 86 on Tuesday, captured all of this with honest joie de vivre, publishing his fashion images in French Elle. And he worked with some of the era’s great beauties: Suzy Parker, Dorian Leigh, Bettina, Marie-Hélène Arnaud, Capucine, Ivy Nicholson and a young Brigitte Bardot.” For the full On the Runway article, Curious About Georges The Exhibition is on view from March 24 - May 27, 2011

	KARINE LAVAL reviewed in The New Yorker Bonni Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce that the current exhibition of work by Karine Laval, entitled MISE EN ABYME, has been reviewed in the Goings on About Town:Art section of the The New Yorker website. MISE EN ABYME is on view from January 13th through March 19th, 2011 "Laval returns to a favorite subject—swimming pools—in summery photographs that both suggest and invite total immersion. Several of the largest pictures depict clothed figures that appear as liquid as the agitated water around them. Even more pleasurably disorienting is a smaller series that plays with reflections, often flipping the scene so that sky and water are reversed and the world turns an aqua blue. Because Laval’s colors have always skewed toward the sun-bleached and the watery, these images aren’t unexpected, but they push her farther toward abstraction, which seems like a fine place for her to be."

Our negligent habits as stewards of the earth, and of our own prospects, are put on display, as if by institutional emphasis. The effect degrades what was once obviously functional and leaves everything, even of recent vintage, in a state of didactic remoteness." -Max Kozloff, Art in America An online version of the article and slideshow of related images is available on the Art in America website.

"Yemen is the Arab world's poorest country, with a fast-growing and deeply conservative Muslim population of 23 million. It is running out of oil and may soon be the first country in the world to run out of water. The central government is weak and corrupt, hemmed in by rebellions and powerful tribes. Many fear that Al Qaeda is gaining a sanctuary in the remote provinces east of Sana... similar to the one it already has in Afghanistan and Pakistan." - The New York Times Magazine, July 11th, 2010

Handsome figures in colorful robes and bright beaded necklaces, they recall Leni Riefenstahl’s Nuba tribesmen and Irving Penn’s Dahomey villagers, and the decision to isolate them from their environment makes them appear more iconic." -The New Yorker
