Curated by Akemi Hiatt, The Web is a Lonely Place, Come Play brings together five artists who produce work within or through the radically democratized "free space" of the web. Through video, performance, photo-based imagery, interactive installation, and animations, artists Christopher Baker, Petra Cortright, Jon Rafman, Rafaël Rozendaal, and Kate Steciw explore the internet as both seductive virtual playground and subversive artistic studio.

I am (Richard Nixon), a site-specific video installation by Lomontville, NY based artist Adie Russell, incorporates five videos produced over the past 6 years in which Russell inhabits iconic male figures from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s including Richard Alpert, Ingmar Bergman, Jack Kerouac, Richard Nixon, and in her most recent video, Marlon Brando. Lip-synching to recordings that have been extracted from radio and television interviews before ethereal backgrounds, Russell's uncanny performances cumulatively address the topics of creative process, perception, and reality.

This years' installment of the annual Photography Now exhibition juried by Kira Pollack, Director of Photography at TIME Magazine, presents eight artists, who all employ photography to put forth varied discourses within the documentary genre. Noah Addis, Alinka Echeverria, Ilona Szwarc, and Samantha VanDeman look outwards into society, exploring timely or pertinent subjects ranging from forays into surreal subcultures to records of international movements and events. Beth Chucker, Ayala Gazit, Gary Grenell, and Robin Schwartz each turn inwards with their work, training their eyes on conflicts and pleasures close to home.

CPW is honored to announce its upcoming solo exhibition and book launch of The Last Roll featuring work by renowned photographer Jeff Jacobson (Mt. Tremper, NY). This compelling and self-reflective body of work emerged in the wake of Jacobson's diagnosis with Lymphoma a few days before Christmas of 2004 and the subsequent announcement of the elimination of his beloved film Kodachrome- the tool which shaped his artistic vision over the course of his career in photography - by its manufacturer, Kodak. While recovering from chemotherapy treatment in the Catskills being too ill to travel elsewhere, Jacobson turned to photographing around the home. A few days before Christmas in 2010, six years after his initial diagnosis, he exposed his last roll.

  Admission to CPW's galleries are free and open to the public, Wednesday-Sunday 12-5pm and by appointment.
