SlowArt Productions presents the group thematic exhibition, Digital Art Extravaganza. The exhibition will be held at the Limner Gallery from April 1 – 24, 2010 and is open to all artists working in any aspect of computer digital print media. This exhibition will include all aspects of digital art. Computer generated art, computer altered photography and collage and digital photography will all be considered. All computer printing formats are eligible.

In addition to being a part of the show, three artists from Digital Art Extravaganza will be featured in the upcoming Direct Art Volume #17, Fall 2010 issue. One artist will be selected for a two page spread in the magazine and two artists will be selected for a single page spread.

NY Studio Gallery is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and unlike the many ‘pay to play’ galleries that infect downtown, NY Studio keeps to a traditional model of exhibitions.  One a year, the current deadline is 15 January, their panel selects two solo exhibitions from their applicants and give them a 5 week show.  A third artist is also given a show, but they are chosen by visitors votes during January.

They are looking for contemporary artists working in visual and installation arts.  A great idea would be to take a look at their previous exhibits online first.  The application is free, the deadline is 15 January and the process is completed online.

Miller’s photographs were arranged from south to north and allowed spectators to walk along the river, enjoying the vivid images he managed to create. The images were so striking that if you stood long enough, looking into the landscape, you could picture yourself atop Storm King Mountain or aside the George Washington Bridge.

The first image that caught my eye was that of a rainbow over Bear Mountain. The image brilliantly showcased the light in the lower right quadrant with complete adoration. While there were many distractions, and places for my eyes to wander, I instantly narrowed in on the rainbow and the other elements became secondary.

Another photograph which caught my eye was that of Stockport farm, taken in 2007. The image was that of a sunset and what my mother always considered “sky blue pink.” I’m certain this wasn’t an original phrase but I have always attributed that time of night to her and when I first heard the term. Standing there, it harkened me back to my childhood and brought with it a sense of comfort. It was one of those moments where I was transported back in time; I was on my porch watching the sunset as opposed to standing amidst other museum onlookers.

While the majority of the prints were bright and vibrant, others had a dark appeal. It proved Millers talent, showcasing not only the majesty of the Hudson River but also the gritty underbelly it tends to possess.

As I was about to leave, I noticed Miller’s name in another museum gallery. Curiosity got the better of me and I wandered into a “then and now” panorama of the Hudson River. The project was a recreation of an 800 print strip that now included the addition of over 3,000 present day photographs. As I snaked through the room, I became the actual river. With present day photos on top, and the 1910 montage below, I was able to stand beneath the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and span the generations. Needless to say, the exhibit was a pleasant surprise.
