The much talked about exhibit, iSee – The Eyes of VII in the Hands of Hipstamatic” will be traveling to New York and will be on exhibit at the VII Photo gallery in DUMBO.  This exhibit originally opened in Boston, featuring 19 photographers from the renowned photo agency, all using their iPhones and the Hipstamatic app to create their photos. The fine art prints are also for sale on the “Everday Africa“, by photographers Peter DiCampo and Austin Merrill, will be included in this exhibition that will run from Sept 20th – Oct 18th. There will be an closing reception on Thursday October 18th 7-9PM.

The title of our current exhibition at the Digital Silver Imaging Gallery says it all. This exhibition covers more than 50 years of Rock and Roll photography from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones first US tours to Lady Gaga and Phish.

Given the confines of our gallery it was difficult not to have floor to ceiling images but gallery director and curator J. Sybylla Smith has produced a stunning show. Just a few of the highlights of the exhibition include:

• Early Beatles photographs from Astrid Kirchherr, including John, Paul, George, Pete and Stuart!

• Mike Mitchell’s recently discovered images of the Beatles first US tour.

• Intimate Rolling Stone images by the late Bob Bonis

• Never before shown studio portrait of Led Zeppelin by Herb Greene

• Ron Pownall’s sensual onstage portrait of Blondie’s Debbie Harry

• BC Kagan’s photos of vintage Cars and a boyish Billy Idol

* Pearl Jam’s sound check at the Boston Garden made iconic by Brian Babineau

• Steven Tyler of Aerosmith being Steven Tyler in beautiful B&W as captured by Melissa Mahoney

• Ethereal play of concert lights at Phish and Radiohead and My Morning Jacket concerts by Ryan Mastro

• Kerry Brett’s elegant panoramic studio image of the Dropkick Murphys

• Face-to-face portrait of Lady Gaga by Mitch Weiss 

This exhibition opens Thursday December 8, 2011 and runs through January 28, 2012. A gallery talk will be held on January 26 at 7:00 pm. Speaker(s) TBA (we are working on something really cool so keep an eye out for this event).

Torrential rains did little to dampen the energy or crowd gathered to celebrate our new South End location and Boston Fashion Week. Over two hundred visitors made Splashion their destination.

The crowd spilled into our courtyard out back and the front side walk. A Street Frames loaned space for a portrait gallery where Nathan Fried Lipski playfully captured guests sporting neon green pool tubes or their own array of umbrellas. Check our website for a gallery of opening shots.

This effervescent group show spans 70 years of editorials featuring water and fashion by 8 international artists. The first nude to be published in Harper’s Bazaar in 1935 was shot by

Hungarian photographer Martin Mankasci. Known for taking women out of the studio he heralded modernism and the notion of beauty in motion.

“Today the world of what is called fashion is peopled with Mankacsi’s babies, his heirs.” according to Richard Avedon.

German post-war photographer F.C. Gunlach and Martine Franck, one of the first women to join Magnum, are included with vintage silver gelatin prints on loan from the Howard Greenberg Gallery.
