Arriving in New York as a very young photographer in the late 1970s, Jeannette Montgomery Barron experienced the art scene of the city as both an insider and an outsider. The Collezione Maramotti created a fantastic video walk-through of Barron’s exhibition, on view through July 31, 2014, complete with a detailed discussion with the artist in English and subtitled in Italian.

From Vince Aletti’s review for The New Yorker:
Davis makes her substantial body—pale, pillowy, and often seen naked—the center of attention here, lighting it lovingly in patches of buttery sun and sometimes picturing herself with a lover. Made over the past eleven years, the self-portraits are carefully staged, but the moments of anxiety, discomfort, and pleasure they convey never feel performative. Like Nan Goldin, Davis knows how to both confront and seduce the camera, and her strong persona is inspiring. Through July 3.

From Michael Werner’s interview with Stacy Arezou Mehrfar at Two Way Lens:
MW: What inspired you to start taking photographs, and what have been some of the most important milestones in your career up until now?
SAM: I grew up an only child. Well no, not exactly. I have two older brothers but they are much older than me, so it was as if I was an only child. I have vivid memories of hours spent going over family albums in solitude—making up stories about the pictures and pretending I was there even though most were taken before I was alive. This passion for storytelling stayed with me all through my childhood. I was the one in my family who always had the camera or camcorder in hand—documenting our family histories. And so it was natural for me to be a photographer—I was struck by the power of the image from a very early age.

From Erica Schwievershausen’s piece for New York Magazine‘s “The Cut”:
Throughout the 1980s and ’90s, New York’s drag scene transformed from an underground phenomenon to a vibrant—and visible—nightlife subculture. Documenting the evolution was Linda Simpson, a longtime drag personality who moved to New York from Minnesota in the late ’80s, and quickly became immersed in the East Village’s burgeoning drag scene, experiencing drag’s rapidly increasing popularity firsthand. “I threw myself in heels-first. I was out practically every night,” she told “The Cut” of her early years in the city. Simpson also, unusually for the time, brought along a camera—“just like a 35 millimeter, nothing professional”—to capture the scene.
From Rosemary Feitelberg’s piece for Women’s Wear Daily:
In the hard-partying Eighties, the East Village and SoHo were havens for artists and still void of the chain stores that have since invaded those neighborhoods. Days were spent working in barren studios—“It was not as though I was hanging out in their studios socializing, I was really there to get the picture. And that’s the way I wanted it,” [Barron] said. “I think I could have been a psychiatrist. People talk to me and tell me things that I can’t believe they tell me—very personal. I think that’s just the way that people respond to me.”
In fact, many literally responded to her with handwritten notes, thank you letters and party invitations—some of which have been incorporated in a diarylike catalogue.
