We are delighted to bring you our September Critic's Choice by Debra Klomp Ching, New York gallery owner, distinguished photography reviewer and co-curator of emerging US photography at the inaugural Flash Forward Festival in Toronto, October 2010.
Debra has chosen Jon Spencer's work and writes, "Jon Spencer's photographs of Band Stands captured my imagination from the outset. The visual depth of the images, constructed from the successive layering of photographs, provide a magical, almost whirligig vision of time and space.
Yet, they are also quiet, poetic studies of an architectural structure, synonymous with the formality of the English garden and of English leisure."
We Recommend: In Case it Rains
Kurt Tong has a solo show at Photofusion with his series' "In Case it Rains in Heaven" and "Memories, Dreams; Interrupted".
Calling on his personal experiences and those of his Chinese family, both series are a refreshing exploration of the current interest in memory as a subject for photography.
On the 21st September Kurt will be in conversation with our own Bridget Coaker at Photofusion discussing his work.
