Vivian Maier – Her Discovered Work. The Kickstater project is raising funds for a film.
I purchased a giant lot of negatives from a small auction house here in Chicago. It is the work of Vivian Maier, a French born photographer who recently past away in April of 2009 in Chicago, where she resided. I opened a blogspot blog with her work here; www.vivianmaier.com.
I have a ton of her work (about 30-40,000 negatives) which ranges in dates from the 1950’s-1970’s.

It boiled down Gavin Perry and Cooper at Snitzer; brilliant shows! And Raul Mendez at TwentyTwenty. I didn’t take pictures at the other places that I visited.
I’ll try to go see Pepe Mar at Castillo and Cristina Lei Rodriguez’s show at Perrotin, in the few days.
I didn’t see much the first night.
The exhibition continued at the Park avenue Armory, a spectacular place.
I really enjoy the show; works by Leslie Hewitt, Rashawn Griffin, Amanda Ross-Ho, John Baldessari, Walead Beshty, Ellen Harvey, William Cordova, Heather Rowe, Rachel Harrison, Rita Ackerman, DJ Olive, Gardar Einarsson, Louise Lawler, Olaf Breuning, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Neighborhood Public Radio and Michael Queenland were especially memorable.
There is plenty of blog (flickr), magazine and newpaper coverage.
We had a great time in New York City. It was great to see and be with family, friends (old and new) and all the nice folks moving about the city. The whitney events were fun and meeting some of the artists in the show was a bonus.
We stayed in Greenpoint, a polish neighborhood.
