Caroll Taveras:

Photo Studio at Underline

A influential photographer whose work has appeared in The Guardian, Wallpaper, and the New York Times Magazine, UNDERLINE artist Caroll Taveras brings her traveling ‘Photo Studio’ to the Gallery. From New York to London; California to Brazil; and back to New York, this project and installation will unfold over a series of weeks (and include limited slots for public portraits).

Taveras seeks to re-establish the small-town tradition of snapping locals on film in a studio environment, a practice popular in the first half of the 20th century and now almost non-existent.

KEVIN FEY: Color Unbound

‘Color Unbound’ brings together the newest series of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Kevin Fey. Fey’s paintings draw attention to the subjectivity of color, the action-based quality of painting, and the relationship between site and vision. The colors that one encounters in each painting are, in a sense, manufactured – their gradations forged through by the artist’s concentrated handling and knowledge of the material. Through pouring, heating, setting, and reheating, the weight of an applied color is captured by its darkened hue on the canvas, while lightness is recorded through negative space.
