Erieta Attali is a rising architectural photographer whose experience hitherto has been generally addressed to archaeology and landscape rather than to architecture; with the former arising directly out of professional commissions and the latter stemming from a personal preoccupation with the topographic, which remains her concern even though her recent photographs do not address landscape as such. In one way or another her images of built-form are traces having a topographic character, images of buildings that go beyond the buildings to evoke another dimension suspended between the built and its transformation through a ricochet of reflections lying outside the normative of vision.

Baechler’s Crowd Paintings are a series of primarily black and white, large-format canvases covered with the diverse faces that make up big city crowds. These faces contrast one another in tone, as some are treated as cartoons while others are rendered more seriously. To complement these paintings, poet David Greenberg has written a series of poems entitled, “ œA Face in the Crowd“ , a collection of poems focusing on varied lifestyles in New York City. Both artist and poet live in New York City where they have collaborated for many years.
