Mia in Chelsea



My dear friend Mia Berg has a solo show Woman: Camera up in Chelsea at gallery 151 on 18th street for the month of March. I go back to undergrad with her at Parsons where we took a few classes together one a class that dealt with the body / sexuality and photography. In this class years ago she really began to developed the visual langue she uses in the beautiful self-portraits in nature that fill the space now.  It is really exciting to see this show for me as In the past I have included her in group shows and just love to see her succeed. For this show accompanying the large photographs Mia delves into video offering a very fun and animated experience of viewing her shots.  There is also a wall of documentation of her process photographed by renowned photographer Spencer Tunic who is also somewhat of a mentor to Mia. In the photo for with this post Mia, Spencer, the Gallery owner and their Pr women pose for a photographer; I have always enjoyed taking shots like this.
