- Amy Stein - Stranded
- Davin — March 22nd, 2008

Recently presented as part of SMoCA’s Car Culture exhibition, Amy Stein’s on-going Stranded series visualizes American social and political isolation. Stein’s extensive travels across the US to purposefully witness motorists stranded in America’s in-between spaces form a unique look at another middle America. I talked with Amy about Stranded and her motivations.

Toronto photographer Robyn Cumming was interviewed about her latest work, Little Legs by Heather Morton. I interviewed Cumming a couple of years ago about her series In Place and as Morton notes, it’s exciting to see where she has taken things in her current work.There is also a follow-up post discussing Cumming’s editorial/commercial work which is very timely given the amount of blog talk around the “fine art” photographers doing commercial work.
Morton is an independent art buyer, a misunderstood and to most people invisible profession and her new site already gives a different and interesting perspective — plus she’s also based in Toronto so there’s a further personal interest on the art buying decisions made by Canadian agencies and publications.

The Present Group is an art subscription service which offers a limited edition project from a new artist each quarter.Their latest release is You were there, too., an edition of 45 three booklet sets by photographer Davin Youngs.
Davin says about the work, “My photographs are an investigation of how the nature of my relationships with those I photograph is visually represented. Gesture, location, and position of subject raise questions about the ways in which my interactions with the subjects exist and the space we occupy, even as it relates to self-portraiture. Some relational elements are clear, while others are questionable. This is meant to be the case, with the only consistent elements being the presence of me and the subject, as well as an awareness of my medium.” — Davin Youngs
