Well, you know you’ve been in one spot for a while when your second art show gets hung…

In our opening day blog (April 22, 2009), I wrote about some students from Brooklyn’s High School for Global Initiative that are involved with a project called PhotoVoice.  Their photography show, here at Green in BKLYN, was a first for both them & us.  Very exciting, beautiful & a wee bit sentimental (at least on my part), it being the premier both of us & all that.  So, when it was time for their photos to come down, it felt a bit sad…

The solution?  A beautiful new series of photos by Orrie King.  Another local Brooklyn gal, though this one’s graduated from college & all that.

As you can see from the photo, her work is beautiful.  I told her that some of her pieces make my heart ache a little bit.  Elisabeth Sussman of the Whitney Museum of American Art put it a little more poetically:

“King’s images are straightforward & sensual.  The intimacy of these encounters captured in King’s photographs builds on the fine examples of other photographers.  I am thinking of Nan Goldin, Sally Mann & Joanne Verburg.  King reminds us of how the experience of being in these apparently simple states is both sensual & profound.  Her photographs impart a quality of well being, as if to say, such experience is available to everyone, at any moment, anywhere.  King is their trusted cohabitnt of that moment, as she records a shared particular space & time.”

Come share with us… It’s a wonderful space & time she’s created!
