Coco Dolle  ’I was Shot in Daylight’
Performance, May 4th, 2012 at T.A.P.S

Thomas Brodin was born in 1977 in Caen, France. After his father’s Mamiya triggered his curiosity at age 15, he later studied literature and media at La Sorbonne in Paris. 
In 2004, he was artist in residence at ODDC in Brittany, where he produced award winning images. He has held many solo showing of his photographs in Paris, and participated in many group shows and Art fair around the world including Art Paris 2009 and Mouvements Arts public in Montreal.
He now lives and works in Brooklyn for the past 6 years. His work as a photographer shows images that have been collected and accumulated through travels from Dubai to Vancouver.

The photographer’s eye, contemplative Pygmalion, redefines the undefined, recomposes the decomposed, pulls together the plasticity of the elements and gives to nature a romantic dimension. 
Between the testimony of the traveler and the vision of an artist, we discover in watermarks the map of a mental landscape…

Amanda Keeley lives and works in New York City. She received a Masters in Fine Art from Parsons School of Design. She has been assisting closely Yoko Ono for the past 8 years. Recently she has been exhibited at Spencer Brownstone Gallery in Manhattan, and can be found at Printed Matter Bookstore. 

Amanda’s work is frequently text based and takes reference from literature and libraries. Common objects like the hotel door sign shown here on The Vitrine, or soap, as with a piece made for exhibition in which she carved the words ‘love’ into a pristine bar of white soap. Humor, fragility and subtlety are threaded throughout her work.

Mika Azegami is a self–taught artist. She build stories and imaginative abstract landscapes. 
The experience of learning from her relationship with art comes through by touching materials and tools, which also inspire motivation to create.  When an image appears in her mind’s eye, she moves with the thought to try and capture its layers of essence, its feeling.
By disconnecting and deconstructing the invisible bridge between realities and herself. Her work let her unplug and travel to a place of freedom. She then understand and feel her interior world.  These actions becomes even more meaningful when a creative accident occurs,  It is like a revelation…

Joe Caswell has a BFA from Hunter College.
His work received awards from the Wolf Kahn Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center and from Dorise Minor Mora. He was born in Jonesboro Georgia in 1964, and lived most of my early life there, until I graduated from high school in 1984.  I have been working on installation and sculpture out of Brooklyn since 1995.  I started out as a painter, then after returning to college later in life, I eventually became more interested in objects and space, and that became my focus.  I still consider myself, to some extent,  a painter, and I tend to want to paint my sculpture in the same manner I used to paint on canvas.

My work stems from the unconscious.  It is a manifestation of my everyday experiences as well as my past, also from the knowledge I gain from the experiences of others.  Memories and fading memories are an important component to my process of creating.  I collect objects for their signifying value to the relationship of an experience, and they become the focal point to the make up if the thoughts and emotions gained at that time.  The objects are related through the art piece as, simply a component to that piece.  

The work itself is a series of conscious decisions to guide what started from the unconscious.  My work seems to evolve like a dream and tends to provoke questions more often that answers.
