Executive director of Rhizome Lauren Cornell and Christopher Pappas responding surprisingly well to having had their picture taken four times.
I missed the VIP portion of Rhizome’s benefit last night, which means I have nothing but second hand reports on the honoring of artist Lynn Hershman Leeson and the founder of del.icio.us, Joshua Schachter. It’s too bad because I hear Lynn Hershman Leeson delivered an incredibly moving speech, though I do have this great photo essay in it’s place. I’m not much of a photographer, so my pictures weren’t taken with any objective in mind, though I hope by some fluke they capture the high spirits of the evening, and general convivial vibe. Photographs after the jump.
Former Rhizome technical director Francis Hwang [left] and artist Michael Bell Smith [right] faired reasonably well against my army of flash. Good work guys!
M. River of MTAA thinks he looks like a German Drill Sergeant in this picture, though I tend to think he looks more like someone who is responding to a Drill Sergeant. Naturally, I told everyone last night, “Pose or else!” .
Artist and Vertexlist gallery owner Marcin Ramocki sporting a very appropriate t-shirt for the evening. Don’t miss Blankly, Perfect, Summer at Vertexlist. In related news, Ramocki tells me he’s growing his hair out.
Even I have limits to the amount of bad photography I’m willing to publish on my site, and the flash photograph I took of artist Marisa Olson and gallerist Jen Bekman met them. As a result, you’re looking at one of two orange photographs taken out of necessity.
Eyebeam Executive Director Amanda McDonald Crowley and software programmer and artist Scott Draves. Crowley explained to me last night that AFC’s criticism kept everyone on their toes, which frankly was welcome relief to the less than positive responses I normally receive for critical feedback.
Eyebeam’s hunky research fellow Michael Mandiberg arrived even later than I did last night. Nobody held it against him.
Artist and writer Mary Flanagan describes a fish she found to Rhizome founder Mark Tribe.
