Some upcoming things…first up, Norman Jean Roy takes a departure from the pages of Vanity Fair…

TRAFFIK by Norman Jean Roy
 
A MILK GALLERY PROJECT is pleased to present Traffik, a solo exhibition by photographer, Norman Jean Roy.  The show is open to the public at MILK Gallery, 450 W. 15th Street, New York, NY 10011.

Traffik presents images of an industry that doesn’t just sell sex; young women and children are routinely bartered, exchanged, and sold across international borders, resulting in a soulless flow of human traffic.  Part exposé and part call to action, Roy’s intimate and affecting photographs are aimed toward giving these victims a voice that will resonate across Cambodia’s borders.

Opening Reception with the Artist:  Thursday, November 20, 2008, 7-10PM
Exhibition Dates:  November 21 – December 8, 2008, 10AM-6PM

Please RSVP to rsvp@milkstudios.com

Traffik, published by powerHouse and Roy’s first book, is available for purchase on Amazon.com and other book sellers.  Proceeds from

the book and print sales at the will go directly to Somaly Mam’s Foundation (www.somaly.org)

Eugene Richards has produced some of the most influential photographic books of the last twenty-five years including Dorchester Days, Exploding into Life and Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue. The Blue Room, his first publication in color, is a personal journey, a moving and eloquent study of the abandoned and forgotten houses of rural America. Over the course of more than three years, traveling thousands of miles, he created a body of work that speaks of the beauty of these old houses and brings to mind the people who once lived in them.

Eerily timely given the recent financial crisis, Richards’ photographs are a statement on our vulnerability in the face of shifting economic opportunities and a commentary on the inevitability of change. They’re a thought-provoking meditation on memory.
