Opening Night: Jim Fiscus at M Project Gallery

Last Thursday, an exhibition of Jim Fiscus’ photographic short story, “The Unfortunate Moment of Misunderstanding,” opened at M Project Gallery in Tribeca. The weather was gloomy, all gray skies and intermittently misty, which suited the dark, enigmatic mood of Fiscus’ photographs.

Walter Iooss has been with Stockland Martel since 1984. And as one of the most respected and prolific sports photographers in the world, he’s got a treasure trove of images from over the years.

Stockland Martel photographers screen video work at unique McCann Erickson event

It’s worked this way for years: When a photo agency wants to show their talent’s work to an ad-agency art buyer, they send over their portfolio.

That’s how it seems, anyway, if you’ve been following the story of Adam Lambert, the spiky-haired singer from Season 8 of American Idol. Lambert chose to keep his sexuality [...]

Make Me a Supermodel’s Tyson and Nicole go topless for Timothy Greenfield-Sanders

As the hosts of Make Me a Supermodel, Tyson Beckford and Nicole Trunfio are usually sitting back and coolly assessing others, critiquing everything from the way a contestant walks to the look on his or her face. The pair are invulnerable, which is part of their appeal—they represent the perfection that everyone else on the [...]

Opening Night: Hans Gissinger’s Exploding Cakes

Hans Gissinger’s “Tartas” series opened at The Gallery @ Stockland Martel last Thursday, and we’re pretty sure it was the only show in town that centered on the concept of exploding cakes. No pastries were harmed in the making of the exhibition, although we did think about it for a while (but frosting is just [...]
