In his third solo show with the gallery, native New Yorker Marc Yankus presents new work from Call It Sleep, as well as a series of recent photomontage still lifes. The project derives it’s name from Henry Roth’s 1934 critically acclaimed novel, about a young Jewish boy’s coming of age in the slum of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Through Yankus’s photographs, he nostalgically portrays the city’s architecture, moody streets and pulse with his unique personal vision. The opening reception for Marc Yankus’s Call It Sleep will be Thursday, November 3, 6–8pm at ClampArt in New York City, the exhibit will be on view until December 17th.

Origin (Arizona Impact 5), 2007, photographed by Stan Gaz from his Impact Series.

During his youth, photographer Stan Gaz was facinated by the notion of meteorites. Thus, he recently began to photograph meteorite impact structures and their surrounding landscapes. Many of these locations are sacred to various tribal communities and have a variety of stories and beliefs attributed to them. Although many versions exist, most relate to the notion of the craters possessing secrets of mankind’s origin.

An opening reception for Stan Gaz: Impact will be held on Thursday, April 30, from 6–8pm, at ClampArt in New York City, the exhibit runs through June 6.
