Getting primed for the Prime gallery show

We stopped by Random Row Books last night (315 W. Main Street) to check in on the Prime Collective while they installed their exhibition. The converted auto garage is filled with unusual used books and eclectic furniture — a fun, funky home for the Prime exhibition opening and pancake breakfast on Saturday from 9 to 10:45 a.m.

We’re putting the finishing touches on our exhibition of photo books curated by David Strettell, owner of Dashwood Books in New York City. It was hard not to stop every through minutes to page through these books, but we persevered.

Along with these books, which are available for browsing, we have an expansive list of photo books for purchase (and signing, if you ask nicely).

Charlottesville flocks to First Friday gallery openings

In LOOK3 tradition, the residents of Charlottesville got a sneak peak at the 2011 exhibitions on Friday, June 3. The crowd scrutinized thousands of Venice revelers in Massimo Vitali’s giant image of New Year’s 2008 and grew silent before Antonin Kratochvil’s dark human specters.

Redux brings the kids

Next stop on the Redux American Youth exhibit tour is Charlottesville. The prints in this exhibit are selected from the the 240-page book that will also be at LOOK3. Here’s what Redux has to say about the project: “American Youth examines the newest generation of 18-24 year olds in detail, observing young couples and Mormon missionaries, debutante balls and drunken tailgate stupors, war widows and B-boys, street kids and lobstermen. How are they different, and how are they exactly the same as the generations that came before? On these pages are Christian rock fans, lesbian gangstas and Obama volunteers. There are would-be pop stars waiting for a shot on American Idol, organic farmers living the hippie dream and tattooed Cobra gang members brooding in the Window Rock jail, Navajo Reservation. Another series of photographs asks young New Yorkers to think big: If you had the chance, what question would you ask God?”
