Allison Leach’s “Misfit Explorers” on Cover of Chronogram Magazine

Allison Leach on cover of Chronogram Magazine and in exhibition at Davis Orton GalleryAllison Leach’s “Bi-Polar Explorer” from her series “Misfit Explorers” is on the July 2011 cover of Chronogram Magazine. (flipbook version) Allison’s portfolio is on view this month in Theaters and the Theatrical at the Davis Orton Gallery.

According to editor Brian K. Mahoney, “…. we were smitten with Allison Leach’s staged photographs of imagined imperialist nincompoops of yesteryear from the get-go…. The more we lived with Leach’s goofy adventurers—revealing the basic absurdity of colonialism through their collective fiction—the more we couldn’t live without them. … What says America better than a man waving a flag? Never you mind it’s the Union Jack.”

Theaters and the Theatrical with photographs by Stefanie Klavens, Nandita Raman, Michael Hunold and Allison Leach continues through July 31.

Meet Allison and the other artists at a Closing Reception and belo3rd Gallery Stroll on Saturday, July 30 from 5-8pm.

Ernie Button’s “Back and Forth” in F-Stop Magazine

diptych from series back and forth by ernie buttonErnie Button’s portfolio, “Back and Forth” has been published in the online magazine, F-Stop Magazine.

According to Button, “Changes in society aren’t always obvious.  Sometimes they can be very subtle.  The grocery store rides that many of us enjoyed as children are slowly disappearing from the urban landscape.  That mechanical horse or the spaceship ride made a trip to the grocery store bearable as a child but now seems hard to find.” Five years ago, Button began his project of photographing these rides in black and white.  He has returned to the same locations and shot roughly the same frame in color – perhaps at a different time of day or slightly different perspective – all to suggest change and the passing of time.

F-STOP MAGAZINE is an online photography magazine featuring contemporary photography from established and emerging photographers from around the world. Each issue has a theme or an idea that the unites the photographs to create a dynamic dialogue among the artists. 
Published online, bi-monthly since 2002.

Button’s series, “Cerealism” is currently on view at the Davis Orton Gallery, Hudson NY
