Watch our NBC interview with Lynda Baquero and Touring Gallery artist Adriana Groisman


Greetings!

Hopefully you're also asking yourself, what happened to May? We've been busy with exhibits, openings, talks, workshops and other projects, and have lots to share.

If you love great black and white photographs, then you better get to the Bronx. Adriana Groisman's exhibit at Pregones Theatre might make you want to move to Argentina and start dancing. Once you're back, be sure to come to the opening of Kenneth Nelson's exhibit at the Bronx Center Library, opening on June 3. If you haven't had a chance to check out Groana Melendez, her show is up through September. And while we're at it, a shameless plug for one of our own: Marisol D�az's reception for her new work at Bronx Art Space on June 2.

We're also proud to announce a video series of interviews with En Foco artists. Our first interview features Orville Roberson and his street photography (today is the last day to catch his exhibit at Domeischel Gallery). More coming soon.

Last but not least, photographers seeking accolades, a great experience and a nice honoraria might want to consider applying for New Works #14. The call for entries is open, and details are below.

Orville Robertson Podcast


Thanks to Todd Wemmer (photosdie.com) running around for us at SPE's 2010 national conference, we now have a treasure chest of interviews with En Foco artists to share with you. Get the inside scoop on their latest work, their lives and the story behind the story.

We've spiced things up with images by the artists, and we'll be releasing the videos over the next few months. The first interview one we'd like to share is with Orville Robertson.

Check our blog or YouTube for the next interview coming up with Nueva Luz photographer Pato Hebert.
