The Built Environment

2 Comments / DOCUMENTARY, EXHIBITIONS, FINE ART, PRESERVATION /

Opening Dec 27th 2011 – January 21 2011 Reception –  Jan 8th 2012 Dark Room Gallery 12 Main Street, Essex Junction, VT 05452 Included in the ‘The Built Environment’ Exhibition is my print from the Essex County Penitentiary series: Title: Essex County Penitentiary, New Wing Corridor. North Caldwell, New Jersey. Medium: Fine Art Digital Inkjet Paper with Archival Pigmented Inks Size:  10 inches x 15 inches Framed: $700.00 – 16 inches x 20 inches As both a historic preservation and fine-art photographer, I am drawn to the timeless nature of a historic site; it is a repository of collective memories like those etched and concealed within the interior walls of this rusting prison ruin. It was a cold December day in 2007 when I first walked through the Essex County Penitentiary. My assignment was to photograph the 32-acre jail complex as part of a required HABS (Historic American Buildings Survey) documentation before the institutional structures and outbuildings, built between 1872 and 1929, could be demolished to make way for luxury condominiums. Photographing the “New Wing Corridor” was not part of the job, but the gritty prison hallway pulled me into an evocative still life of decaying iron bars and unhinged doors that allowed the silent voices of those once incarcerated to escape.

‘BECOMING WHO WE ARE’ TRIX ROSEN, Project Director and INSIGHT OUT! PRIDE Workshop Participants ARTIST TALK, Friday December 2, 2011 6 pm – 9 PM, Gallery 32 With a Special Performance by LADY JOI-ELLE Hudson Pride Connections Center 32 Jones St., Jersey City, NJ 07306 Please join me and the participants in the INSIGHT OUT! PRIDE Digital Storytelling Workshop for an Artist Talk and Panel Discussion about our photographs currently on view in “BECOMING WHO WE ARE,” a photo/video group exhibition curated by Ricardo Francis at Gallery 32 in Jersey City, NJ. The show features the work of Jasmin Brown, V. Michael Lazar, Natasha Phoenix Russell, Joi-Elle White, and Esteets Wright, students of the INSIGHT OUT! PRIDE Workshop along with guest international artists, Nadine Hutton (South Africa) and Fréd Koenig (France). I will also present a short, historic retrospective of images that represent my GLBTQ social advocacy photography work from the ’70s and images depicting gender ambiguity and transformation. This visual memoir includes studio portraits of my female friends exploring erotic pleasure, role-playing and butch/femme identity. Included will be pictures from recent photography exhibitions documenting my artistic collaboration with gender performance artist and videographer, Frederic Koenig. The INSIGHT OUT! PRIDE Digital Storytelling Workshop recently completed an eight-week pilot program at the Hudson Pride Connections Center. The workshop is tailored to LGBTQ participants, gives a visual voice to participants affected by growing up in environments of uncertainty, discrimination, fear, and violence, and guides them to explore their creative vision. Each artist poignantly depicts images that mirror their personal views about masculinity, femininity, and their LGBTQ identity. As they learn to document their own lives through photography, they grow in confidence and leadership skills, empower themselves, and heal. The workshops at the Hudson Pride Connections Center were developed and adapted from my experiences as a senior trainer, editor, and advisor to the international InSIGHT Out! Photography and Creative Exchange Project, based in Bangkok, Thailand.

Exhibit dates: September 14 – November 23, 2011 Hours: Best viewed in daylight. Location: Ernest Rubenstein Gallery Windows Jefferson Street near East Broadway, New York, NY 10002. F-train to East Broadway; MTA buses: M9, M15, M22 Jewish Art Salon members have created “memory blocks” with drawings, paintings, or inscriptions that evoke their memory of the day. On September 13th, 6pm these blocks will be brought to the gallery, where Tobi Kahn is exhibiting “Embodied Light: 9-11 in 2011”. Artists and writers will share their block and/or their memories of 9-11 and Kahn will discuss his exhibit. After the session, at 8pm, the blocks will be gathered and the next day they will be installed as “towers” in the windows. Kahn’s exhibit will feature 220 memory blocks, handed out by him to various New Yorkers and returned to him with markings that commemorate the day. These blocks will be continually rearranged over the length of the exhibition. The Jewish Art Salon’s blocks will be displayed as a separate exhibit.
