Question: What do Christine Collins, Jen Davis, Ben Donaldson, Amy Elkins, Peter Haakon-Thompson, Todd Hido, Alec Soth, Brian Ulrich, and Shen Wei have in common?
Answer: They will all participate in a show entitled A New American Portrait, opening on June 22 at jen bekman, with the show being co-curated by Jen and Joerg Colberg.
This, undoubtedly, will be an exciting exhibition for photography lovers in New York. And I’ll be fortunate enough to help out with the show as, just prior to the opening, I’ll begin a summer internship at jb.
So, if you’re in the city, come by to see the show and say hi, eh?

Hi Shane, I think you know this already, but just in case:
We changed the opening date for the show (scheduling conflicts abounded!) The opening is now on Friday, June 22, from 6pm-8pm.
We’re looking forward to your first day at the gallery this coming Sunday!
