EARTH ABIDES
Photographer Eli Maier | Rainwood Productions
Dedicated to George R. Stewart
author of post-apocalyptic science fiction novel Earth Abides
“The idea is to illustrate the fall of civilization. Сity lights will continue to shine for a while, but civilization has already gone. It is a mix of photographs I made on the Green-Wood Cemetery and the most famous spots of New York City: Wall Street, Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Midtown and Central Park.”

CITYSCAPE DRAWINGS NEW YORK
Patrick Vale studied at Central St Martins and has been illustrating for the past six years. During this time he has also worked for the BBC’s 21CC studio, art-directing projects and teaching members of the BBC audience to make multi-media content for output across the BBC’s platforms.
A boyhood fascination with drawing architecture and cityscapes has led Patrick to become known for his vast cityscape pieces and now sees him working regularly for leading Architectural Visualisation Studios - alongside tackling illustration briefs. He draws in ink from life wherever possible and loves to document people interacting with the world.
Humans of New York
Photographer BRANDON STANTON
About - I get really passionate about things. At some time in my life, I’ve been obsessed or borderline-obsessed with saltwater aquariums, the baritone euphonium, Barack Obama, reading, piano, filming, financial markets, New York City, and photography. I was once arrested for taking photographs inside Gianni Versace’s South Beach mansion. It was 3 AM. I was super drunk. I studied History at the University of Georgia. During my senior year of college, I took out $3,000 in student loans and bet it on Barack Obama to win the presidency. A friend heard about this bet and got me a job trading bonds on the Chicago Board of Trade. I traded for three years. It went really well for awhile. But then it went really bad. Whoops. After I lost my trading job, I decided to move to New York City and take portraits of strangers on the street. Mom wasn’t too happy about that decision, but so far it’s gone pretty well. I’ve taken nearly 5,000 portraits and written 50 stories. And I’ve met some amazing people along the way.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude “Wrapped Buildings, New York City”
- Packed Building (Project for 1 Times Square, Allied Chemical Tower N.Y.) Collaged photographs 1968 (Detail)
- Lower Manhattan Packed Buildings (Project) 2 Broadway and 20 Exchange Place | Photomontage 1964-66 (Detail)
In February 1964, Christo and Jeanne-Claude arrived in New York on board of the SS France. Shortly after seeing the tall buildings of downtown Manhattan from the bow of the ship, Christo did the first collages of Two Lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, No. 2 Broadway and No. 20 Exchange Place. Later, when Christo and Jeanne-Claude met with the owners to request permission to realize the project, the answers were negative.

Artist HANS BREDER
Algus Greenspon presents an exhibition of new paintings, conceptual sculpture and video by Hans Breder running from Friday March 16 through SaturdayApril 14, 2012.
The current exhibition draws on three aspects of Breder’s work: new paintings grounded in an exploration of the neuro-opthalmology of image perception, conceptual sculptures made by telephone in 1969, and a recent video installation, continuing Breder’s 40 year interest in the medium.

Blurry Nightlife Oil Paintings by Alexandra Pacula
Brookyln-based painter Alexandra Pacula is fascinated by nightlife, and in her words, “a world of visual intoxication.” She paints very large canvases that look like blurry long-exposure photographs of hectic urban scenes, the photos you might capture accidentally on your digital camera while using the wrong setting (or probably that’s just me). See much more of her work here.
