Night Moves – Angles of View
Photographs by Steve Duncan • Helen K Garber • Robert Vizzini • Jill Waterman • Marc Yankus
Co-curators: Jill Waterman and Daryl-Ann Saunders
March 5 – April 10, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 5, 6-8 PM
The photographic works of thirteen artists who toil under cloak of darkness are
featured in two neighboring galleries at 111 Front Street in DUMBO. Night Moves –
Angles of View is exhibited at the Farmani Gallery and Night Moves – Exploring the
Horizon is exhibited next door at Safe‐T-Gallery beginning Thursday, March 5.
Both shows feature works selected by co-curators Jill Waterman and Daryl-Ann
Saunders. Night Moves is a convergence of photographers who have a deep
understanding of the techniques employed in night photography and who use the
night and its illuminated landscape, be it man made or natural, to capture the
distinctive, yet elusive, atmosphere of the world after dark through the camera lens.
In the Farmani Gallery exhibit, Steve Duncan's panoramic cityscapes from atop New
York's magnificent bridges induce vertigo with their dizzying heights, while black
and white diptychs from Helen K. Garber's LA Noir series entice viewers with the
implied motion of shadowy figures suspended within architectural fragments.
Robert Vizzini's jewel‐like renderings of Manhattan's
buildings and parks balance deep shadows against rich colors and shimmering lights,
and Jill Waterman's graphic, urban views emanate the cool blue tones of midnight.
Finally, Marc Yankus' impressionistic depictions of New York transform the city
at twilight into a wash of foggy shapes and soft colored lights. Several special events
run concurrently with the exhibits. The first two are events for those interested to
learn about night photography processes and hands‐on techniques. On Monday,
March 9, a night photography symposium will be held from 10:30 ‐ 4:30PM in
conjunction with B&H Photo. On Sunday, March 15 and 22, the co‐curators will
offer a night photography workshop in collaboration with Workshops@Adorama.
The final event addresses the collector, and features a gallery talk with local artists
in the Farmani Gallery and Safe‐T‐Gallery spaces. Scheduled to coincide with
the last day of the AIPAD photography show, this event will be held from
2‐4:30PM on Sunday March 29. Co‐curators Daryl‐Ann Saunders
and Jill Waterman are both night photography specialists, whose photographs
have been widely exhibited. Ms. Waterman has recently published, Night and Low
Light Photography (Amphoto, August 2008).
The Farmani Gallery is located at 111 Front St., Ste. 212, Brooklyn, NY in the
DUMBO neighborhood between Washington and Adams St. By subway take A or C
to High St., F to York St. or 2 and 3 to Clark St. Station.
