  • The Vale of Cashmere — Brooklyn's Secret Meeting Ground
    October 15, 2015 The Vale of Cashmere — Brooklyn’s secret meeting ground Photograph by Thomas Roma courtesy Steven Kasher Gallery, NY View gallery3 photos "In the Vale of Cashmere", Thomas Roma's most recent project, consists of an intricate sequence of 75 black and white portraits and landscapes photographed in a secluded section of Prospect Park, a meeting place where black, Latino and other gay and bisexual men have long sought one another out to fulfill their wish for community and to satisfy sexual desire. With his large, tripod-mounted, hand-made camera, Roma stepped into the center of this community, an obvious but mostly ignored presence. Understandably, many of the men Roma approached to photograph in a formal portrait were not interested, but surprisingly, many were. After they agreed to be photographed, Roma would offer the men time and the opportunity to show him something of themselves they might not have the chance to otherwise. Although originally conceived solely as a portrait project, the more time Roma spent in the Vale of Cashmere, the more the physical beauty of the Vale became inseparable from the portraits, and many of the landscape photographs were integrated into the series. In addition to the inclusion of landscapes, a custom miniature camera was utilized to provide sequential pictures depicting the steady march of the mostly solitary, unidentifiable men as they cruised the pathways of the Vale. Roma’s motivation for doing the project came from his wish to honor the memory of a close friend who died of AIDS in 1991, and who had introduced him to the Vale of Cashmere.

  • The Library of America Interviews Phillip Lopate About Writing New York and American Movie Critics
    The Library of America Interviews Phillip Lopate about Writing New York and American Movie Critics In connection with the publication in paperback in January 2008 of two vol - umes that Phillip Lopate has edited for The Library of America—the updated and expanded edition of Writing New York and the expanded edition of American Movie Critics —Rich Kelley conducted this exclusive interview for The Library of America e-Newsletter. Sign up for the free monthly e-Newsletter at www.loa.org . Reading Writing New York is a lot like visiting the city . You have to decide what to see first. You can read it through chronologically, or you can chart a path that focuses on sites of the city that have disappeared, or on memorable characters, or on different neighborhoods. But everyone has a few must-see sites . If you were to lead a tour through your book, which are your “must-see” pieces? Or, if that isn’t a fair question, would you lead us on, say, three separate thematic tours? You’re right, it isn’t a fair question to ask me to pick my favorites. My job and passion as an anthologist is to compose a symphonic whole, in which each piece seems necessary and loved, at least by me. But I will propose three tours. The first might be called Small World, and conveys the degree to which New York culture in the early nineteenth century was still a small pond, where every - one ran into everyone else. So the actress Fanny Kemble was introduced to both Mayor Philip Hone and the ex-grocer autobiographer Grant Thorburn, and Walt Whitman recalled seeing Kemble act, and man-about-town author Nathaniel Parker Willis knew fellow-writers Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving, and Willis’s sister was the columnist Fanny Fern.

  • Thomas Roma: the Plato's Dogs Trilogy
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thomas Roma: The Plato’s Dogs Trilogy Exhibition: November 3rd – December 23rd, 2016 Opening Reception: November 3rd, 2016, 6 – 8 PM Steven Kasher Gallery is proud to present Thomas Roma: The Plato’s Dogs Trilogy. This exhibition includes 80 black and white photographs and from three different series, which together serve as a biography of Roma’s Brooklyn. In the Plato’s Dogs photographs, dog shadows take on mythic status. In Higher Ground, shot on the elevated trains that run through the heart of Brooklyn, Roma captures the pockets of in-between-time that fill the lives of commuters. The photographs from The Waters of Our Time, are the most self-reflective of the three bodies of work. The Waters series is deeply personal and spans Roma’s entire career, beginning with a photograph from his first roll of film in 1972. The images are intimate tokens of Roma’s life that feature his wife, son, neighbors and home in Brooklyn. The exhibition launches the publication of the monograph Plato’s Dogs by powerHouse Books. Reminscent of cave paintings, the distorted and featureless silhouettes in Plato’s Dogs capture the primitive essence of the animal. Printed life-size, the shadows more resemble a mythical beast than man’s best friend. Taken between 2011-2013 in a dog park in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, Roma describes them as “landscapes with shadows.” Often Roma would look first to the ground, locating a spot composed of roots, patches of trampled grass, rocks and debris. Roma would stick to that spot and try to lure the dogs over to him.
