The Bartender Never Gets Killed

I’m really busy at the moment and have little time for the blog - hopefully things will quieten down soon. However, here is a ‘look at this’ post. Living in Spain, but not being Spanish, I sometimes come across wonderful work by people I’ve never heard of, one such is Alfonso Brezmes. On his site, you’ll find photographs, collages, animations

I see links to some of John Matturi’s work, but I really like the viewpoint he presents

The site is well worth spending time with, even though it is a flash site!

He currently has an exhibition in Madrid at camara oscura galeria de arte

One interesting thing I like is that the work is often presented as limited edition books - a great alternative to art on the wall

John Matturi spent some time working on a project in Venice - this is a work print.

I notice that Photoeye has an auction for Nancy Rexroth’s ‘Iowa’

I’ve always liked her work. She was one of the first to use the Holga-type (in her case the Diana) camera before it’s fuzzyness was ‘instant art’ or anyone had a use for it. She is also one of the few who make it work IMO - and speaking as someone who tried for a long time to do something new with it and failing miserably.

Her prints are diminutive, many just 4×4 inches.

Stephen Wirtz has the Iowa work on his web site
