Saatchi Gallery Review
snippet:
"...the show offers a variety of issues to think about, but point of
view might be one of the most fascinating here. All of the works share
an ambiguous, theatrical sense of detachment, a way in which the
exhibition suggestively opens up a conversation on the inherently
contradictory elements in contemporary portraiture."

"... A New American Portrait, at Jen Bekman Gallery, presents work by nine photographers who blend fiction, truth and metaphor to create highly structured realities...
Seen together, the eighteen images on view explore complex themes of identity, sexuality, gender, consumerism, and class that shape American society."

it´s such a pity that i´m living way too far...i´d liked to see the show and i´m still a bit angry every day that i can´t make it...
