    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 7 JUNE 2010 MEDIA CONTACT Michael Kusek at communication angle 413.575.1435/[email protected] Susan Mikula, American Vale #17 EXHIBITION INFORMATION American Vale: Recent Photographs by Susan Mikula at Ferrin Gallery 437 North Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201 Exhibition Dates: June 26 – August 1, 2010 Opening Reception: Saturday, June 26th, 4:00 – 6:00 PM Gallery Hours: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM Daily, June 21st through September 5th Gallery phone number and email: 413.442.1622; www.ferringallery.com ; [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHER SUSAN MIKULA TO PRESENT American Vale: Recent Photographs at FERRIN GALLERY, PITTSFIELD, MA PITTSFIELD, MA – Photographer Susan Mikula will be exhibiting American Vale: Recent Photographs, the debut solo showing of her work in the Berkshires at the Pittsfield, Massachusetts-based Ferrin Gallery, 437 North Street, from June 26 – August 1, 2010. The gallery will be hosting an opening reception for the artist on Saturday, June 26th, 4:00 – 6:00 PM. The images that make up American Vale were shot in the valley between the Berkshire and Taconic mountain ranges in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, a city that grew on the spine of the massive industrial facilities of the General Electric (G.E.) Corporation. Pittsfield’s G.E. facilities are fast- disappearing, with some of the buildings Mikula shot for this show torn down and the rubble hauled away even before the last photos were taken. Others in the show are still active and thriving — though they survive on the fragile entrepreneurial cusp that is American manufacturing today. Mikula’s photographs in American Vale strip away detail and soften edges, only to better reveal the underlying and essential strength and form of these massive installations.

    Maddow, Rachel (b. 1973) by Sara Anderson Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2008 glbtq, Inc. Rachel Maddow. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Image courtesy Air America Radio. On September 8, 2008, Rachel Maddow became the first out lesbian to host a prime-time television news program when The Rachel Maddow Show premiered in the 9:00 p.m. weekday slot on MSNBC. Maddow has been a rising star of political commentary during the protracted 2008 presidential campaign. Widely noted for her keen intelligence, self-deprecating wit, and ever-present kindness and good cheer amid the often belligerent world of cable television, Maddow has been described as post-gay (or post- homophobic) in the same way that Barack Obama has tried to portray himself as post-racial. Although she instructs the television make-up crew to "do me up like you'd do a dude" (as she recounted in an interview in Velvet Park magazine), Maddow ventures onto the subject of her orientation only when others bring it up, because she believes deeply that she--and every other glbtq person--is just the same as everyone else. No explanations are necessary, no apologies owed. In silently asserting her right to be treated as a first-class citizen, Maddow lays claim to that right for all marginalized groups and individuals. Though a Rhodes Scholar with an Oxford doctorate, "Dr. Maddow" also exhibits more "regular-person" charm than anyone could possibly hope for, using expressions like "Holy mackerel" and "Duh-h-h" with abandon. She is a joyful specimen of a lesbian completely comfortable with herself.

  • Sic Transit Friday, December 19, 2008 – Saturday, January 24, 2009 Opening Reception: Friday, December 19, from 5 to 8Pm
    Press Release: For Immediate Release November 30, 2008 CHC Gallery 511 West 20th Street New York, NY 10011 Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10:00am-6:00pm T. 212.741.0007 Susan Mikula: sic transit Friday, December 19, 2008 – Saturday, January 24, 2009 Opening reception: Friday, December 19, from 5 to 8pm “I’m obsessed with the passing of time and the way light changes. When I’ve done what I set out to accomplish in a photograph, I have preserved the skipping and floating and grinding of time.” –Susan Mikula CHC Gallery is pleased to announce sic transit, an exhibition of new photographs by Susan Mikula. This is the artist's first show with the gallery. In her latest body of work Mikula continues to exploit the idiosyncrasies of a Polaroid camera. By handicapping the governor, she allows for time and space to dictate how the photograph develops. In the sic transit series, Mikula places emphasis on atmosphere, setting, and the exacting orchestration of light. Moving away from recognizable subject matters and familiar objects from much of her previous work, she draws the viewer into strangely enigmatic and nostalgic scenes. In the storyboard of scenes, she frames different rooms and corridors of what could be glimpses into a lucid dream. The haunting imagery is meant to elicit flashbacks into our own memories, dreams, or nightmares. “Susan’s abstract visions are familiar enough to make you worry she might have gotten into your head and stolen your memories — she can make you feel reminded of things you’ve never done.” –Rachel Maddow, host of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show The show consists of large-scale digital Duraflex prints, which originate from vintage Polaroid photographs.
