Haley Jane Samuelson

I was reading the New Yorker calendar section on the subway ride home tonight and was really happy to see a name I recognized! An exhibit by photographer Haley Jane Samuelson was profiled. I had the pleasure of posting some of her work on ArtinBrooklyn in April. She describes her images as “an embodiment of my own subconscious forces at work, mixed with real events.” The show is up until the end of the week at Hous Projects, 31 Howard Street.

Meet James Ensor, Belgium’s Famous Painter

MOMA has an exhibit of James Ensor’s work, closing on Sept 21. As Ensor himself would readily testify, time is running out. Obsessed with issues of identity and mortality his favorite subjects were skeletons and masks. He’s got a slightly wicked sense of humor, frequently self-deprecating. One of my favorites is entitled “My Portrait in 1960” – imagining the state of his material being at the age of 100.

Also check out the song by They Might Be Giants and appreciate the man.
