These images are part of a larger fine art series which Maybin has made of herself and her daughter combined as one. This particular series is photographed at night while Maybin’s daughter is asleep; these photographs of her daughter’s head and her own body are combined to make a chimera of persons. This discussion surrounds the topic of identity as a woman, mother and daughter.

German artist Martin Denker creates an explosively personal, fantastical vision straddling—Surrealism, Pop, and Psychedelia. He constructs his images from a multitude of appropriated photographic and visual sources including news, advertising, pornography, and film-stills. Constantly inspired by the stimuli around him—from the internet, video games, psychotherapy, and art history—the images are orchestrated via image-processing/altering applications, into large-scale photographic works. Martin Denker’s AbsoluteZero will be on view until January 30, 2010 at Bruce Silverstein in New York City.

The highly symbolic still life paintings associated with Flanders and the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries are the inspiration behind Justine Reyes’s photography in her Vanitas project at The Center for Photography at Woodstock. Historically, “Vanitas” as an art genre utilized morbid images layered with symbolism through objects such as skulls, wilting flowers and rotting fruit—dealing with the awareness of life’s impermanence and the inevitability of death. Personal artifacts and everyday objects help to define Justine Reyes’s photographic interpretation of the genre. Justine Reyes’s Vanitas will be exhibited concurrently from January 9–February 28, 2010, with Landscape Forever curated by Dion Ogust. An artists’ reception for both exhibits will be held on Saturday, January 9th from 5–7pm at The Center for Photography at Woodstock.
