Serial Killer Art – Henry Lee Lucas

Henry Lee Lucas is an American serial killer who is best known for lying/falsely confessing to upwards of 600 murders. He was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of 11 murders; he died of heart failure while in prison, so the actual number of crimes committed will never be truly accurate. He was also in a romantic relationship and the accomplice of Ottis Toole.

Photo Book of the Week – Cavalos & Bangalos

Anna Kleberg – Cavalos & Bangalos
Published by Libraryman, 2009, Ed. of 500
ISBN: 978-91-86269-01-2

I got this book about a year ago when Tony Cederteg came to NYC to have a book launch for Libraryman. I specifically remember listening to him speak about this book in particular and its layout, design, sequencing, etc. This book is in a way 14 images on 7 sheets of paper, but each image is folded in half for the middle of the book. So each image, besides the centerfold, is merged with another image; horse’s heads are coming out of bungalows. I also learned that this book is only bound with 1 staple in the center of the crease, instead of the normal 2 staples, so you can more easily remove the staple if you wanted to view all the images in a “straight” manner.

Opening Tonight

So we know you’re all coming to the opening of 31 Women in Art Photography this Sat night, but TONIGHT be sure to stop by Kris Graves Projects for the the opening of joint solo exhibitions from Ruben Natal-San Miguel and Greg Miller. Both photographers address issues of place, home and childhood with a similar sense of observation despite strikingly different locations–Miller with photographs shot in his childhood hometown of Nashville, and Natal-San Miguel with his exploration of post 9/11 life in Harlem.
