Miami Trip: Photo Miami & more

Allison and I just returned from Miami: the art was incredible. We visited PhotoMiami, SCOPE, Aqua & Art Basel. I took photos at the first two, cameras weren't allowed inside of Art Basel. I'll be posting some various photos & writeups from the two lectures, (Chuck Close & Vick Muniz). Meanwhile, here are links to photogographers I discovered on the trip (mostly at Photo Miami). Their work is new to me, very inspirational, and worth checking out.

http://www.adadhannah.com/ does mainly movie stills: her museum stills are escpecially interesting pieces.

http://www.alanburjohnson.com/ breathtaking, delicate instiallations created with transperancies. see below, and be sure to look at his project, "Swarm"

http://www.abdelnnortt.com/ This artist does sculpture, videos and photorealistic paintings (below, "I never worry" oil on canvas) but his work was at Photo Miami via the Stephen Cohen Gallery. Read his artist statement, which is under "a freindly reminder". Its toungue in cheek and very quirky.

http://www.alexprager.com/ She's a young photographer from california. Vibrant colors, and something unsettling about her compositions, as seen below. She's one of my new favorites!

http://www.elzajo.com/ Her work seems to be a playfully morbid take on female sexuality. The pieces at Photo Miami were 3-dimmensional, including the one below which I can't locate a title for.
