The Last Book
The Last Book is a project, organised by Luis Camnitzer, to compile written as well as visual statements in which the authors may leave a legacy for future generations. The premise of the project is that book-based culture is coming to an end. On one hand, new technologies have introduced cultural mutations by transferring information to television and the Internet. On the other, there has been an increasing deterioration in the educational systems (as much in the First World as on the periphery) and a proliferation of religious and anti-intellectual fundamentalisms. The Last Book will serve as a time-capsule and leave a document and testament of our time, as well as a stimulus for a possible reactivation of culture in case of disappearance by negligence, catastrophe or conflagration. Opening: details to follow.

We Are All Photographers Now!
JPG Magazine is participating in a gallery show in Switzerland and has selected one of my photographs for a special section of the exhibition honoring 20 JPG photographers. The intent of the exhibition is to get some kind of cross-section of digital photography being produced today, and to try and explore a number of questions, including whether digital photography represents an evolution or a revolution in picture making, whether there is a real democratization of photography, "if citizen photojournalism is worthy of its name", whether digital represents a threat to professional photographers and whether it means that photography is now more authentic, more truthful. The show takes place at the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland

Watch the Roux: : Keeping an Eye on New Orleans
Anyone that has ever made a gumbo knows the importance of ‘watching the roux.’ It is the thickening base of seasoning for a gumbo—and you have to keep your eye on it. If you don’t pay attention, in one moment you suffer the risk of having to ‘throw it out’ and start all over with your cooking. At the same time all of us have been privy to the delicious taste of a good roux, and thus a good gumbo. 'Watch the Roux: Keeping an Eye on New Orleans' is a call to ‘keep an eye’ on our city. These images capture and connect our colorful Mardi Gras Indians, our Creole cooking, our carnival pageantry, pieces from our homes and streets that survived Katrina, political statements, diaspora, and our enduring spirit and sense of humor. In this way, we’ll give the folks that witness the art a little taste of who we are and who we’ve always been.
