GALLERY 3209 PROUDLY PRESENTS:
NEW ECONOMY
New work by Moshe & Eddie Brakha (BRAKHAX2)
Opening Reception: Saturday January 7th, 6-9 pm
January 7th-Febuary 11th 2012
Gallery 3209 proudly presents the first ever gallery exhibition of the compelling collaboration between legendary photographer Moshe Brakha and his son, emerging artist Eddie Brakha, with their series New Economy.
New Economy is a collision of raw emotional energy from the original punk patriarch and his academic punk son who construct a conceptual and narrative framework within his father’s visual process.
The two perspectives strike a brash balance, refining one another’s attitudes in their combination.
Following the Beuysian proposition that every human is an artist, Moshe and Eddie approached boxers, musicians, and directors as well as curators and professional artists to participate in New Economy. They interviewed each subject a week before their shoot in order to concoct a devise a concept that presents the individual’s unique connection to their art form - the filter through which they experience the world and by which the world experiences them. For 52 weeks – thus 52 subjects – Moshe and Eddie adhered to this strict regimen of interview and photograph, producing two images, one close up and one wide, for each subject. The resulting diptychs are meant to memorialize the essence of the interview.
This is the currency of the New Economy – internationally famed or entirely unknown - each subject in this series is endowed with his or her own supernatural power. However grandiose or nuanced, it is the creative spirit that gives value to humanity and all that we produce.
New Economy is on view at GALLERY 3209 from January 7th- February 11th 2012.
