Ashes and Snow
Tuesday, March 1st, 2005
Ashes and Snow is an exhibition of the large scale photography of Gregory Colbert. I’ve only heard about Colbert’s art from my good friend David Darling, a world-renouned cellist (and my wife’s ex-husband) who has done and continues to do music for numerous Colbert photo installations in the US and abroad.
Ashes and Snow opens this month in New York at the Nomadic Museum in Hudson River Park and will run from March 5th to June 6th at that location. There is a private opening this Thursday which David has invited Anne and me to. Man, I am psyched as this work looks like something that will not only blow my mind but alter the way I look at photography. I have no idea what the photo rules of a photo opening like this will be but I plan to carry camera with. Stay tuned.
some picture realy amazing, it is a little like cooking when you use good ingrediente the final product usualy tast better, he has good modles (people and animal)
let us know how the exibit is.
He has great models, true enough but he has an eye for both form and composition that is amazing, not to mention the tint and scale, the pictures are enormous and take up whole walls, maybe lifesize elephants. I will have a full report, for sure.
They are just Beautiful! I plan on taking my Mother & daughter. I cant wait to hear what you have to say.
