  • Human Currents: the World's Largest Pilgrimage
    WORLD’S LARGEST RECORDED HUMAN GATHERING –TENS OF MILLIONS OF PILGRIMS -- CAPTURED BY PHOTOGRAPHER HANNES SCHMID EXHIBITION PRESENTS IMAGES OF FESTIVAL HELD ONCE EVERY 144 YEARS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2011 New York—As many as seventy-five million pilgrims assembled in Allahabad, North India for a month-long Maha Kumbh Mela festival from January to February 2001. It was the largest ever recorded gathering of human beings up to that time, and so immense that the crowd was visible from space. Swiss artist Hannes Schmid was there as Hindu pilgrims moved towards the banks of the sacred Ganges River, capturing this massive pilgrimage with his camera. From July 22 to November 13, 2011 the Rubin Museum of Art will present Schmid’s still and moving images of the festival during Human Currents: The World’s Largest Pilgrimage as Interpreted by Hannes Schmid. The Maha Kumbh Mela—the most important among Kumbh Mela festivals that celebrate gods’ symbolic triumph over demons—is held only once every one hundred forty-four years. Pilgrims mark the festivals by travelling to sites along the banks of the Ganges River, and never more so than during the 2001 Maha Kumbh Mela when a veritable sea of devotees of all ages, castes, and classes traveled from every corner of India to participate. 28 million pilgrims were said to have gathered on the main bathing day alone. “The day, when such a mass of pilgrims of all ages gather for a common purpose and destiny, has intrigued me for as long as I knew,” says photographer Hannes Schmid.

    For Immediate Release Howard Greenberg Gallery Kenro Izu India, Where Prayer Echoes January 11 – February 23, 2013 New York – India, Where Prayer Echoes, an exhibition of photography by Kenro Izu will be on view at Howard Greenberg Gallery from January 11 – February 23, 2013. The exhibition will include 24 platinum palladium prints of portraits and landscapes taken across India between 2008 and 2012. Erola #460, Maharashtra, India 2/20, 2010 New York-based Kenro Izu has traveled to India frequently since his first visit in 1996. A rather unusual invitation inspired his interest in India that year. The artist was invited by a family in Varanasi, considered the spiritual capital of India, to observe a cremation of a family member from beginning to end. The three-and-a-half hour ceremony took place by the River Ganges. The body was covered in fabric and decorated with flowers and at the end nothing remained as the ashes were swept into the river. “It was an amazing experience. I was quite interested in the family’s attitudes. There was no weeping; only calm talking and an occasional joke. It was so different from my culture,” notes Izu, who was born in Japan in 1949, and moved to New York City in 1970. Following in the tradition of the 19th century travel photographer, Izu transports an enormous large-format camera with 14 x 20 inch plates and related equipment, weighing in excess of 300 pounds. His photographic vision of mysterious light and majestic landscapes is complemented by his masterful use of the classic platinum process.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

  • Kenro Izu: Stillness
    Kenro Izu: Stillness 14 December 2007 – 19 January, 2008 Reception & Book Signing Thursday, 13 December, 6-8pm New York City – The Howard Greenberg Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition of KENRO IZU: STILLNESS featuring the large scale carbon pigment prints by the contemporary photographer Kenro Izu. Coinciding with this exhibition is the much anticipated release of the book, Kenro Izu: Bhutan from Nazraeli Press. Work from Bhutan, Izu's newest series, will be featured in the south gallery. Kenro Izu began taking photographs of his native landscapes of Osaka Japan as a teenager and then went on to study photography at Nippon University of Art in Tokyo. Izu came to the United States in 1972 when he was 21 and opened his own still life studio in 1975 which he still operates today near Rhinebeck, New York. In 1979 Izu began photographing the ancient pyramids and landscapes of Egypt. In 1984 a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts allowed him to continue shooting the pyramids and to begin his series on sacred places around the world. Izu has spent his life committed to photography and perfecting the craft of printing. (over) The exhibition will mark the first time Izu’s exquisite Still Life series and work from the highly acclaimed series Sacred Places has been printed in the large scale (36 x 52 inches) carbon pigment process. Izu’s unique vision of mysterious light complements his masterful use of the carbon pigment process with rich colors, deep blacks and almost infinitely subtle tonal variations. The tactile surface qualities and supreme clarity of Izu’s prints make reference to the hand-crafted beauty of the early twentieth century Pictorialist movement of photography.

  • 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Message from Our Founder
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT Message from our Founder When we broke ground to build a new children’s hospital in northern Laos, we did so with a determination to make a difference in the lives of children of the region. Five years have passed since we opened the doors to Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC) and I can confidently say that we are making a difference. I have watched the hospital grow from a small Outpatient Department into a bustling medical facility, equipped to handle a wide range of illness and injury. The dedicated doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers, both volunteers from around the world and the local Lao staff at LFHC, work tirelessly to fulfill the mission that Friends Without A Border initiated two decades ago: to provide compassionate medical care to the children of Southeast Asia, to create health education and prevention programs and to train local health- professionals. Our staff work long hours of day and night, and sometimes take on extra shifts. They adhere to a principle we established when we built our first hospital in Cambodia in 1999: to treat every patient as if one of their own children. The hospital cared for a record number of children last year. Many families traveled long distances and their children arrived with advanced stages of illness or seriously infected injuries. Sadly, not every story had a happy ending. And yet, our staff saved the lives of so many little patients, including the tiniest patients in the Neonatal Unit. They also healed thousands of sick and injured children.
