“What is street photography? A reflection of every day life – real, unaltered impressions of public places, places that everybody visits every day, the street where you live, the parking lot of your favorite grocery store, the subway. Street photographers document the truth – take candid pictures of things that you don’t notice in your daily grind. This involves attention to detail… attention to scenes, moments that you only recognize subconsciously. The camera is an unobtrusive extension of the eye in any given situation. Oftentimes, street photographers take pictures they feel; and capture the mood in a fraction of a second. He freezes a moment that you will forget in the same amount of time…” M Hartel

Precious ambience and stately neo-classical constructions from Christina Vantzou, previously best known as one half of Kranky duo The Dead Texan. Following her recent debut solo appearance on Ghostly’s SMM compilation (alongside the likes of Svarte Greiner, Peter Broderick), Vantzou has cultivated an incredibly mature and resonant sound, all stirring strings, gravity-defying drones and distant, elegiac horns reverbed to perfection – a triumph of production and arrangement, it’s also an estimable and characterful work of composition, swelling to some truly heart-stopping melodic climaxes.

Beech is interested in “the object quality of things.” He is interested in letting the form and materials demonstrate themselves. Another important element in Beech’s work is his choice of materials. “I’m interested in fusing the visual vocabulary of utility and abstract art,” he says. Ordinary objects such as dumpsters and patched subway platforms catch his eye and provide the basis for nuanced works of art. He acknowledges the influence of contemporary masters such as Donald Judd, but sees his own aesthetic as “street level” and engaged, as opposed to the polish and detachment of many reductionists. His aim is to take the ordinary and create an extraordinary experience for the viewer.
Spontaneity is essential for Beech. A piece may change radically during the process of fabrication; accidents and obstacles are viewed as opportunities rather than sources of irritation. In his view, letting go of expectations can often lead to something much more interesting than the original conception. This easy attitude meshes well with Beech’s attraction to things that are odd, edgy, even a bit awkward. The combination imparts a subtle humor to many of his works, an attitude that nudges us to realize that art can be made (sometimes even unconsciously) of the most ordinary of materials, materials that we see around us all the time but usually fail to recognize as art. – [Extract : CCNOA]

“The road is my stage, I watch the show trying to transform the ordinary
into the extraordinary in my way of seeing. The light, shadows, geometry,
the moment are the tools I use. I don’t know anything else.” – U Verdoliva
