Press Release Contact: Hassan Kinley – nueyorkRSVP@gmail.com
For Immediate Release
Photography Exhibit:
April 14th, 2011 from 7pm to 10pm @ The Dash Gallery, 172 Duane Street, 10013 NYC
New York and Paris-based commercial and fine art photographer, Erica Simone, exhibits her collection “Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen” during a solo show at the Dash Gallery from April 14 to April 28, 2011.
The art gallery, run by media mogul, Damon Dash, will exhibit approximately 20 photographs, sponsored by Uptown Fine Art Printing Studio, of Simone literally exposing herself all over New York City. From the streets to the subway, and from Bowery to the Bronx, Simone publicly bares all, raising the philosophy behind “just being,” as well as playing with the idea of “counter-fashion” – that without clothing, people could not possibly socially interpret each other.
Each image tells a story and each story conveys a unique experience for the artist. Erica Simone’s free-spirited philosophy, lack of inhibition and drive to express herself has made way for a provocative photographic project which raises controversy and questioning.
“Brave, humorous – but sexy, Nue York is a unique collection with wonderful energy. Erica Simone is a rising star in the photography world,” says Michael Klug, publisher of Whitewall Magazine.
Since 2005, Simone’s photographs have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions all over New York City as well as in France, Germany, Cambodia and Lithuania. Aside from her Nue York collection, the Franco-American photographer has won various awards for her photography, including from National Geographic and PHOTO magazines and her work has been published in countless print and online magazines. Her passion for travel and humankind has brought her all over the world with her camera.
Additional photographic works of Erica Simone may be seen at www.ericasimone.com. More information and images about Nue York may be seen at www.nue-york.com.
Curated by KARIN + RAOUL magazine, the exhibit’s opening will take place on April 14th, 2011 from 7pm to 10pm, and will be open to the press at 6pm for a private showing. Cocktails will be provided by Belvedere Vodka. The exhibit will run until April 28th at the gallery (172 Duane Street, New York City 10013). For further information and to RSVP for the opening, e-mail nueyorkRSVP@gmail.com.

KARIN + RAOUL MAGAZINE PREVIEW EVENT
Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Lifestyle, News + Events

Cover by Cynthia K. Cortes
NY, NY – On March 23rd the Damon Dash Gallery became the backdrop for the highly anticipated preview of Karin+Raoul, the new magazine of avant garde sensuality, photography and art. The gallery was abuzz with a who’s who of NY’s downtown scene. Presenting the “common in an uncommon way” was the theme of the evening as guests enjoyed wine and cool vibes as images of brazen sensuality played on the walls of the gallery. It was a beautifully staged presentation of the first issue of K+R that is sure to set the city on fire. – Phil Mckenzie
