Liu Bolin: The Invisible Man Eli Klein fine art, New York June 29th to August 28th, 2011
Eli Klein fine art presents ‘the invisible man’, the third solo exhibition of beijing artist liu bolin at the new york-based gallery. The show features new photographs that continue the artist’s exploration of the chinese national identity and the relationship between human beings and their surrounding environment.
‘The invisible man’ includes large-scale photographs of his recent self-camouflage works ‘hiding in the city’ as well as ‘dragon series’. In ‘hiding in the city’ series of photographs, bolin pays tribute to the history of china, particularly that of beijing. In one group of images ‘dragon series’, the artist has chosen the iconic site of the ‘nine dragon wall’ in beihai park to celebrate the grandeur of chinese culture and history. the motif of the five-clawed dragon, symbol of imperial power, chasing the inflamed pearl is prominent in chinese classical culture. the ceramic wall is also a magnificent illustration of chinese artistic craftsmanship.
For this exhibition, bolin is producing three photos between june 20th and june 29th. From june 21st to 22nd, he will hide in a shelf of new york magazines and newspapers. for his second photo, he will disguise himself in graffiti art on the street – potentially kenny scharf’s mural on houston and bowery (still unconfirmed), and the thrid photo will be taken at ground zero. these performances are open for public viewing.

In your fridge’ by stephanie de rouge

With a fascination for big cities and their occupants, new york-based photographer stéphanie de rougé started out with a series that documented various types of people in their most natural environment the bedroom – but found this space to be lacking in intimacy and permanence. ‘the building walls don’t talk. New yorkers move all the time, share and sublet rooms,’ says rougé. ‘not a good setting for a long term relationship with one self.’
From there, she organically stumbled upon the idea of ‘in your fridge’, a candid series of images which records individuals and the inner contents of their refrigerators. highly voyeuristic and honest, the collection of photographs is a spin on the idea of portraits, capturing an almost intrusive side of the subject’s daily life.

Pencil vs. Camera’ by Ben Heine
image © Ben Heine
‘Pencil vs. Camera’ by ivory coast-born brussels-based photographer ben heine is a series of images that inject hand-drawn pictures within real-life settings to create a composite effect that is often surreal and highly narrative. Manipulating the backdrop to host added elements such as real-life tetris blocks,floating speech bubbles, and an alcoholic panda, the photographs are an exercise in manual photoshop, always including heine’s hand which holds up the sketched piece of paper in the foreground.
Alarmingly accurate and crisply focused, the series puts great care in the alignment and perspective required to successfully pull off the optical illusion. heine creates seemingly effortless snapshots that are highly imaginative and contextual.
