My images selected for a new show in Brooklyn

© Marina Misiti

I’m thrilled to announce that:

* one image from my  87.70 ROME-BY-BUS iphone photo-project about how the commuters everyday look at Rome from the window of a bus,

* and another one, NEW YORK FLEA MARKET, from the Urban Colors Collection just published in my NEW YORK CITYBOOK, have been selected for inclusion in the

“Perspectives on Time” Exhibition, the upcoming PWP exhibition – 3/2-31 – at the Callahan Gallery of St. Francis College, 180 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights, New York. It is one stop out of Manhattan, not far from Dumbo artistic area!

My New Photo Books: Tokyo, New York, London

I’m very proud to announce the publishing of the first three Photo Books of my Urban Colors Collection project, focused on Tokyo, New York and London. So, thank you in advance for your support….

For those who buy this first edition of the books, I have a special treat: as it suddenly will become a limited first edition, I’ll personally sign and number and send you your copy back, if you send it to me first (contact me and I will send you detailed instructions). “Send it, make it limited” could be the catch phrase here.

Alongside the above, I’m also producing many more photo books with MUP Press - the web indie press founded together with my MUP photo-format-Project -, that I hope will be successful in spreading the word. Announcements will follow very soon…..

In this PWP group exhibition I present work from my ongoing series ‘Fashion Districts’, a long-term book project about New York City, Tokyo, London, etc.

My picture (taken in New York last September just in front of a work of Barry McGee at the Bowery, not far from Nolita shopping area, part of my FASHION DISTRICTS PROJECT and also the cover of my photo book on “New York Citybook”),  will be exhibited at The Durst Organization’s Show Walls Gallery, right next to ICP, in a great space with exposure to a wide audience.

A December-January exhibit here will provide great exposure to the show from the many tourists and business people in town for the holidays, and provoke discussion and invite questions and speculation about how one created this new work.

Runs December 6, 2010 – January 15, 2011
Reception: December 9th, 6-8 pm
Open Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm

Art of Commerce, my photo show in New York City

Photographs © Marina Misiti

Commerce is an essential element of our lives. From hot dogs to real estate, the world continuously bustles with transactions big and small. Advertisers blanket the streets and airwaves with images selling goods, ideas, personalities, and ways of living. Whether paying a subway fare or working 9 to 5 at an office, most people contribute to this financial traffic on a daily basis.

This exhibition by PWP, featuring images of commerce that are evocative, unusual, humorous, and beyond. I show works from my project FASHION DISTRICTS/Tokyo Girls.

Visual Arts and Photography Training

ROME: September 24 – 26 (9.30  a.m.- 6.30 p.m.)

My “Visual Arts and Photography Training”

Si tratta di un seminario specialistico, ma aperto a tutti (anche ai non addetti ai lavori), per affinare il proprio talento visivo  che viene ospitato dalla Scuola di cinema e televisione di Roma “Accademia Rosebud

Arte visiva in una prospettiva antropologica, ricerca sulle immagini, fotografia narrativa e messa a fuoco delle proprie possibilità espressive, sono alcuni degli argomenti di questo workshop innovativo e originale che partendo dall’idea che la percezione possa essere solo polisensoriale e culturale, fonde l’approccio olistico e multidisciplinare sui materiali visivi al training sul campo.

Le neuroscienze, e in particolare l’antropologia che si occupa della visione, sono in grado di offrire contributi innovativi. Privilegiando la ricerca delle nostre specifiche metafore visive, attraverso esercitazioni in aula e sperimentazioni in esterni, il corso si pone come obiettivo principale la definizione di connessioni originali tra luce, inquadratura, spazi e tempi fotografici ed esplorazione di se stessi e del proprio personale modo di “guardare” al mondo.

L’accesso al nostro universo interiore, ai nostri paesaggi dell’anima, alle risorse creative ed espressive profonde attraverso la messa a fuoco di codici estetici, simboli e rappresentazioni collettive, consentirà di affinare la percezione soggettiva e il rapporto con la realtà che ci circonda, superando approcci convenzionali della comunicazione visiva e narrativa.

Un seminario focalizzato non tanto sulle nozioni tecniche, quanto sul miglioramento della propria, personale visione (in questo caso fotografica, ma estendibile ad altri media) e sul relativo passaggio dall’idea al progetto di comunicazione visuale.

“Sentire” l’impatto emotivo delle proprie immagini, incrementarne la personalità, la qualità e la forza imparando di nuovo a “vedere” forme, dettagli, simboli e colori, è il percorso che faremo in questo originale laboratorio di visual arts.
