"The best of contemporary photography amazes us by asking questions, by challenging us, to transform us into different persons," writes Joerg Colberg about the exhibition. "For me, that is the essence of contemporary photography. I am very excited to see the 16th juried exhibition reflect this." Please click here for the press release.

Show Opening this week at Gallery 339, Philadelphia

I'm very excited about taking part in an upcoming group show at Gallery 339 in Philadelphia. I'll be showing 8 images from my "Tel Aviv at 100" series, in conjunction with 9 other emerging photographers, including Philip Toledano, Kyohei Abe, Isa Leshko, and Joel Lederer. The show opens Friday, June 18, and will run through September 4. Please be sure to stop by if you're in the area.

From the Press Release:

"Over the past six months, Gallery 339 has had the opportunity to participate in a series of portfolio review sessions, which introduced us to the work of many artists from around the world...The work that we saw suggested a dynamic and inventive landscape, where artists are making creative use of new and old technologies and are exploring ideas and subject matter that are both current and substantive. We, of course, are now applying our own filter to present an exhibition, yet our intent is to preserve a sense of the depth and variety that we saw, ranging from Phillip Toledano’s compelling and unsettling explorations of beauty to Isa Leshko’s affecting portraits of older animals to Gabriel Benaim’s layered views of Tel Aviv. Collectively, the works of the ten artists in In Review suggest a medium that is engaged in a lively, complex, and intelligent dialogue about meaningful issues."

Photographs in Onward '09 and Fraction Magazine

One of my photographs, "Alexander River", was recently chosen to take part in a group show, Onward '09. This show was juried by Peter Barberie, photography curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and will be up til March 22 in Project Basho's Gallery, in Philadelphia. Please stop by their web gallery and take a look, there's some very good work up. You can read a review of the show here.

Also, a new online magazine, Fraction, has just put up their Apug group show and my photograph "Old Bus Station, Tel Aviv" was included. Thanks to David Bram for putting the show together, and here's hoping it'll become an annual event.
