Раскрыть сознание и взглянуть по-другому… Замечательно также не забывать детство…

Вообще, конечно, жутко завидую и рад одновременно за такую возможность:
Foley Gallery specializes in the representation of contemporary artists who work with photography, painting, sculpture and works on paper. We are particularly focused on building the careers of lesser-known artists and promoting the work of ones who have been under recognized.
Michael Foley opened Foley Gallery in the fall of 2004 after 15 years of working with notable photography galleries including Fraenkel Gallery, Howard Greenberg Gallery and Yancey Richardson Gallery. He is on the faculty of Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts where he teaches and lectures on issues in contemporary photography.

Joseph Bellows Gallery — Thomas Allen — Images
http://www.josephbellows.com/exhibition ... en/images/
Allen's photographs are inspired by his childhood experiences with pop-up books and View-Masters. He begins his process by cutting figures and images out of illustrated pages of old books and vintage fiction novels. Allen then cleverly rearranges and juxtaposes the forms to create three-dimensional scenes. Next, he carefully lights his subjects and photographs the scenes.
When separated from their original stories, the figures take on fresh roles in entirely new situations. Yet they retain their intended purpose of storytelling. Characters and objects originally created as two-dimensional illustrations are raised from their pages and given new life in three-dimensional space. The figures return back to two-dimensional objects, this time in the form of a photograph.
As a director would stage actors, Allen stages his cut-outs in ways that create humor, tension, mystery, and drama. A boxer fights his own shadow in Spar, and in Bookend a gunfighter stands over his recently fallen opponent. Although the characters are freed from the closed pages of books, the books themselves still remain present in each photograph. A ship sails across the curved pages of a dictionary-sized book in Swell. In Cover, a gunman finds safety behind the spine of a book. And in Recover, a worn paperback acts as a life raft to three weathered shipwreck survivors.
…Allen received his BFA at Wayne State University in 1991and his MFA at the University of Minnesota in 1996. In 1997 he was awarded the McKnight Artist Fellowship for Photographers, and in 2000 he received a fellowship from the Minnesota State Arts Board. His work has been exhibited throughout the Midwest including the Tweed Museum of Art in Duluth, Minnesota, and the Rochester Art Center in Rochester, Minnesota.
