A NEW AMERICAN PORTRAIT

ON VIEW: JUNE 22- AUGUST 3, 2007

OPENING: JUNE 22, 6-9pm

Press: NEW YORK, NY - Jen Bekman is pleased to present A New American Portrait, a group exhibition of photographs featuring artists at the vanguard of contemporary portraiture in America. Co-curated by Ms. Bekman and J��Colberg, editor of the influential fine art photography blog Conscientious, the exhibition will be on view from June 22 August 3, 2007 at jen bekman, located at 6 Spring Street between Elizabeth and Bowery, New York.

Jen Bekman will host an opening reception for the artist on Friday, June 22, from 6:00 8:00pm at the gallery.

A New American Portrait features photographs by Christine Collins, Jen Davis, Benjamin Donaldson, Amy Elkins, Peter Haakon Thompson, Todd Hido, Alec Soth, Brian Ulrich, and Shen Wei. Their portraits, environmental, posed, and self-portraits among them, express the wide range of practice in modern American portraiture. Mr. Colberg observes: A portrait lives in the interaction between the photographer and the sitter, a relationship which banishes any notion of objectivity. The work included in this exhibition explores, and at times exposes, this fragile intriguing dynamic.
