Michael Benson has taken photographs of planets, their moons and other parts of our solar system shot by robots on spacecraft over an area of 3 billion miles, and created clear and spectacular images of vistas never seen by human eyes. Through complex digital manipulation, and in some cases, creation of mosaics from many smaller images, he shows us the fascinating corners of "space" that people have dreamed of seeing since they could look up. They turn out to be more spectacular than we could have imagined. kinetikonpictures.com <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/1_o_800.jpeg" border="0" width="800" height="403" width_o="800" height_o="403" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/1_o_o.jpeg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/2_o_800.jpeg" border="0" width="800" height="409" width_o="800" height_o="409" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/2_o_o.jpeg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/3_o_800.jpeg" border="0" width="800" height="403" width_o="800" height_o="403" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/3_o_o.jpeg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/4_o_800.jpeg" border="0" width="800" height="414" width_o="800" height_o="414" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653503/4_o_o.jpeg" align="left" /> http://showhownyc.com/Sur-Terre http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/Sur-Terre Tue, 28 Jun 2011 05:53:12 +0000 SHOW 1653493 Photographs by Herve d'Eglise September 27, 2008 - December 20, 2008 Swiss-born photographer Hervé d’Eglise, who lives in Belgium, has taken photographs of earth formations in Normandie that, in closeup, could be on other planets. "I’ve always loved traveling and finding myself in places that I imagine being the first to discover. Whether it’s a natural cave or an abandoned factory, no one has seen them before me! I shoot my photographs in this spirit." Though the photos are taken in well-travelled area of Europe, the unusual corners found and portrayed by d’Eglise are not discernible as France, or even Earth. Patterns of nature, in all their fascinating complexity and simplicity, are visible here on the land to anyone who will visit Normandie, or explore their backyard, and the resulting photographs look as exotic as if d'Eglise were, as he imagines, the first person ever to see them. The natural patterns under the seas of Earth's surviving coral reefs, are seen by those with the luxury of scuba diving in faraway seas, and are imagined in the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, and, as seen in Michael Benson’s images made with the help of a robot's eye, in many ways as “exotic” as scapes of other planets and in space. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653493/Espagne-023_2.jpeg" border="0" width="316" height="319" width_o="316" height_o="319" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1653493/Espagne-023_2_o.jpeg" align="left" /> http://showhownyc.com/CYNTH-O-MATIC http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/CYNTH-O-MATIC Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:51:56 +0000 SHOW 1652117 Interactive sculptures and remade/remodeled coin-op machines by Cynthia von Buhler http://showhownyc.com/Full-Disclosure http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/Full-Disclosure Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:49:16 +0000 SHOW 1652103 Paintings by Lazarus Nazario <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652103/napalmpuertoriqueno_web_800.jpg" border="0" width="800" height="423" width_o="900" height_o="476" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652103/napalmpuertoriqueno_web_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://showhownyc.com/The-Hyperbolic-Crochet-Coral-Reef http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/The-Hyperbolic-Crochet-Coral-Reef Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:44:50 +0000 SHOW 1652050 Crochet sculpture by Margaret Wertheim and Christine Wertheim in association with hundreds of other artists September 27, 2008 - December 20, 2008 Coral reefs the world over are dying out at a rate faster than rainforests. In addition to global warming and pollutants, marine life is threatened by a tsunami of plastic that is flooding into our oceans. The handmade reefs on display here are a wooly testimony to the disappearing wonder of actual reefs that now engages women around the globe. The project also celebrates the strange hyperbolic geometry of the ocean realm, which is reflected in the crochet techniques. This unique work consists of a collossal reef created by hundreds of artists from New York and another by artists from Chicago. The assembled work is continually growing and evolving since it moved to SHOW from the World Financial Center in Manhattan. Each of the hundreds of pieces is a work of beauty in itself created by a different artist. Their placement in this particular reef formation creates a spectacular riot of form and color that can be appreciated in awe from a distance, or approached to reveal more and different forms from a more microscopic view. SHOW'S windows contain the Chicago Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, all by Chicago area artists, and the mind-boggling seascape of yarn and plastic inside is the New York Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef, among whose 100+ creators are over 30 Staten Islanders. Unlike the dwindling coral reefs under the seas, the source of our food chain, the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef is constantly growing. In displaying it we hope, as the artists did in creating it, to bring attention to the fact that as with all that strikes us in nature, its physical beauty is a call to its protection. 2008 is the International Year of the Reef. Created by Margaret Wertheim and Christine Wertheim, with hundreds of contributing artists. Presented in association with the New York Institute for the Humanities and the Steinhardt School at NYU. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_4000_800.JPG" border="0" width="800" height="531" width_o="800" height_o="531" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_4000_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_4136_800.JPG" border="0" width="532" height="800" width_o="532" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_4136_800_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_3962_800.JPG" border="0" width="532" height="800" width_o="532" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_3962_800_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_3974_800.JPG" border="0" width="532" height="800" width_o="532" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/DSC_3974_800_o.JPG" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/reef2.jpg" border="0" width="460" height="339" width_o="460" height_o="339" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652050/reef2_o.jpg" align="left" /> www.theiff.org http://showhownyc.com/City-Tropics http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/City-Tropics Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:33:15 +0000 SHOW 1652013 Paintings by Mary Bullock November 14, 2008 - December 19, 2008 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652013/bullock_Pond.jpg" border="0" width="540" height="419" width_o="540" height_o="419" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1652013/bullock_Pond_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://showhownyc.com/Lost-and-Found-An-Exploration-of-Earnestness-in-Art http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/Lost-and-Found-An-Exploration-of-Earnestness-in-Art Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:27:12 +0000 SHOW 1651962 Found art curated by Theo Dorian March 20, 2009 - June 14, 2009 Under-appreciated works by recently discovered masters of sincerity.

The expression is widely used not only when referring to a reclusive period but also to a notion that Kiwis and Aussies hold onto, that they, at any time may be able to drop everything and be successfully self sufficient in the wilds of their native countries. Having grown up in New Zealand, this notion is firmly rooted in Victoria Munro’s perception of her own abilities to ‘go bush’. With no real inclination for, or experience in the art of basic women versus nature survival, this is a mere romantic ideal. Nonetheless, she holds onto this ideal, joining the long list of New Zealand artists to memorialize the intrinsic connection to their native bush. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_-_Split_log_series__1-4_porcelain_800.jpg" border="0" width="800" height="547" width_o="864" height_o="591" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_-_Split_log_series__1-4_porcelain_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_-_Tomahawk_series_2007-09.jpg" border="0" width="576" height="864" width_o="576" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_-_Tomahawk_series_2007-09_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Tomahawk_install_800.jpg" border="0" width="800" height="384" width_o="864" height_o="415" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Tomahawk_install_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Windo_work_2009_800.jpg" border="0" width="800" height="533" width_o="864" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Windo_work_2009_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/going-bush-card_800.jpg" border="0" width="800" height="533" width_o="800" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/going-bush-card_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Bush.jpg" border="0" width="477" height="612" width_o="477" height_o="612" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651852/Victoria_Munro_Bush_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://showhownyc.com/We-Go-Far-And-Way-Back http://showhownyc.com/following/showhownyc.com/We-Go-Far-And-Way-Back Mon, 27 Jun 2011 22:53:58 +0000 SHOW 1651748 June 20, 2009 - August 1, 2009 Curated by Victoria Munro We Go Far......And Way Back.' is a group painting show comprised of artists with shared work philosophies and exhibition histories.

(2008) Daniel Göttin lives & works in Basel (Switzerland) Göttin’s works are site-related installations and all-over drawings made of industrial materials. The real space with its own qualities has a strong influence on his artistic concept and practice; it becomes an integral part of the installation. Artwork and real space appear as transformed entities, both exist simultaneously in time and size. Each new spatial situation provides a new experience of perception. The creative manipulation of simple functional material can translate the act of looking into the art of seeing, transforming the place itself into an experience of perception. Göttin’s practice includes wall drawings and spatial interventions. He is the founder of Hebel, an artist-run exhibition space in Basel (CH). <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651748/Kyle_Jenkin.jpg" border="0" width="639" height="864" width_o="639" height_o="864" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/118503/1651748/Kyle_Jenkin_o.jpg" align="left" /> Kyle Jenkins - Urban Geometries #238 (2009) Kyle Jenkins lives and works in Toowoomba, Australia, where he is the coordinator of Visual Arts at the University of Southern Queensland.
