EX 09: BMW Guggenheim Lab (Meet me in the Lab. Let's talk about your ideal city.)

I have been invited to lead a public simulation for this mobile laboratory, a collaboration between BMW and the Guggenheim foundation.

Other activities in the Lab... movie screenings.

According to the UNFPA: "In 2008, for the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population will be living in towns and cities. By 2030 this number will swell to almost 5 billion, with urban growth concentrated in Africa and Asia. While mega-cities have captured much public attention, most of the new growth will occur in smaller towns and cities, which have fewer resources to respond to the magnitude of the change.

How about we explore that? Do come by the Lab and let me know what you think about life in the city.

EX 07: SUPER BOWL XLV Exhibition...Bombay Sapphire presents ericjhenderson

Bombay Sapphire Gin presents ericjhenderson in solo exhibition at Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas. 

For the Dallas native, now New York City resident, it is a highly anticipated homecoming, his first

as a fine art photographer now rapidly emerging on the world scene, bringing modern thought in 

images using a 1950 Kodak Brownie Hawkeye that he found on the street in Harlem in 2003. 

He has most recently been featured in GQ magazine among other publications as part of the 

currently running Bombay Sapphire global campaign, "There's Something Inside".

 

For the Super Bowl, Eric was commissioned to capture "The Deep Fan Experience"  using a couple

of Dallas Cowboys games and the world's largest domed structure for raw material.  "If art has this

storied and true power," says Eric, "then we're obliged to chase it wherever it is, a football game being

no less germane than the city street, though definitely a different type of challenge."

We unveil 10 for Super Bowl week, but here are a couple just to prime the week with a preview!

"Hitchcock Is my Head Coach"

"The Butterfly Route: Now Training Camp, Now the Tunnel"

EX 06: Work in progress... 2011 Superbowl Exhbition

Pray for good things. Working on a shoot in Dallas, Texas, at the home field of the Dallas Cowboys.  Details soon. In the meantime, some thoughts and documentary from the process.

Heading out...

Can't expect a kid to get on the field and not relive all - yes, all - dreams, back to my days playing in Dallas for the Oak Cliff Jets and mimicking every Cowboy move, except without the three cameras in tow. 

(Hey Charles, remember that touchdown vs. the Oak Cliff Mustangs - off a quarterback sneak that was only supposed to get 3 yards.  Threw that jell-ay!! Oh, my bad: I digress.)

 Check the grip, though - you know what it is, right Charles, Greg, Chris?? (my brothers).

Melodrama?  Possible.  Don't know if the sweat is from shooting or pretending at my childhood heroes Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson, and Tony Dorsett. 

Much peace.
