Last time around our friend Tony Cederteg was good enough to hook us up with some excellent images by artists he’s worked with. In our latest LOOK installment, PhotoShelter‘s Director of Photography Meagan Ziegler-Haynes (as an aside, PhotoShelter’s got a pretty great blog too).

Ghosts are the most
August 19, 2008 – 4:55 pm
The last time you developed a roll of film only to discover that fuzzy blobs and streaks of light had ruined your photos, was your first impulse to believe that this was the spirit of your dead dog, returned to communicate messages from the afterlife? It’s unlikely that many people reading this (i.e. anyone with [...]
New York Tyrant
August 18, 2008 – 11:01 am
Sure, Granta’s been around a while, and The Paris Review is fine and well. But what about when you want to read something new? I mean, really new. So new that you’ve never heard of its contributors, and aren’t sure how to pronounce their names? There are a lot of small literary journals out there, [...]
The Artist’s Studio: Luis Berrios Negron
August 16, 2008 – 1:47 pm
Artist and designer Caris Reid is loose in Berlin, making paintings, exploring the city and breaking hearts. We’ve asked her to sniff out some of Berlin’s most talented characters: artists, fashion designers, and anyone else who strikes her fancy. For this week’s installment, Caris pays visit to the studio of artist Luis Berrios Negron, a [...]
Dirty Projectors at South Street Seaport
August 14, 2008 – 7:11 pm
The Seaport Music Festival‘s bevy of shows this summer has showcased the likes of Wire, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, No Age and Atlas Sound. As great as those bands are — and they are all fantastic — none of this summer’s shows is as exciting as tomorrow’s Dirty Projectors show.
Peter Sutherland at Family
August 13, 2008 – 1:53 pm
New York native Peter Sutherland’s photography should be well-known to a lot of you out there, so if you happen to be in L.A in the next 24 hours, check out his book launch at Family (probably the best bookstore ever), tomorrow at 7:30. Sutherland will be showing slides and video footage of the making [...]
An Upside-down Idea
August 13, 2008 – 1:25 pm
I expected Michael Pollan’s lecture “Taking the Plant’s Point of View” at PS1 last week to be well-attended, but I’m not sure anyone was prepared for it to draw a Warm Up-sized crowd — the line was wrapped around the building for hours. Unfortunately, rain put a damper on the plan for Pollan to talk [...]
No Found
August 12, 2008 – 11:50 am
One of the best things about the internet — in fact one of the few saving graces of the internet — is the abundance of great little projects: online galleries and portfolios one stumbles across while playing link tag from one website to the next. Often I find myself spending an afternoon indulging in the [...]
All Points West Music & Arts Festival
August 11, 2008 – 12:59 am
Photo by Bao Nguyen I’ve always approached music festivals with mixed emotions. Almost invariably, sacrifices must be made – set times are usually short, sound quality can be sketchy and timetable clashes often mean that you will miss portions of your favorite acts. With these considerations in mind, I attended the first day of the [...]
Totes
August 10, 2008 – 10:28 pm
We had this idea to ask some of our friends to create a collaborative series of one-of-a-kind tote bags. The end project is a limited edition of 150, with each natural canvas tote bag designed and signed by each artist. All of the totes have been customized using a different artistic process, ranging from hand-done [...]
