Last month I curated my first show for Greenpoint Open Studios and it was so much fun! Featuring work from LPX, Miles Shelton, Russ Rubin, Mary Shah and work from my book Romantic Lowlife Fantasies. Big thanks to Bechdel Project for hosting us - all pics by me (Laura June Kirsch).

Very excited to announce that I will be curating my first show next week as part of Greenpoint Open Studios. I will be there selling books, prints and other fun things!  Info below: Random Fiesta: 80s Made 90s Raised - a Greenpoint Open Studios group show of millennial artists curated by Laura June Kirsch. On June 10th and 11th from 12 to 6 pm, Bechdel Project (252 Green St), as part of their Community Space Program, will host the work of five artists who have been shaped by being a part of the last generation to experience life pre-internet. Each brings a unique, playful style and flavor to the show. Featuring work by LPX, Miles Shelton, Mary Shah, Russ Rubin and work from Romantic Lowlife Fantasies (get your copy here)

Thank you @vicemag for interviewing me about my book Romantic Lowlife Fantasies !

Vice was the first magazine to interview me about my photography back in 2010 (and how my sister and I "borrowed" a child mannequin we were obsessed with from a local tuxedo shop to take to my Grandmother's birthday party). What a cool full circle moment to talk to them again 13 years later as we've both evolved. Swipe through for highlights and headlines from now and then

About this book:

"Romantic Lowlife Fantasies: Emerging Adults In The Age Of Hope" is the first published monograph by Canon award winning photographer Laura June Kirsch. Featuring over 85 original images, the book is a photo exploration of millennials in subcultures during the Obama era. Co-edited by Kirsch and Juxtapoz Editor-in-chief Evan Pricco, the collection examines an era of hopeful hedonism for a generation that came of age between 9/11 and a recession that put the traditional American Dream just out of reach. Featuring an introduction by Pricco and original essays by Darlene “Dee Nasty” Demorizi (comedian, actress and VICE personality), Allyson Toy (DJ Toy), Caitlin McGarry (an astrologist and wellness coach also known as Tarotgraph), Jessica Amodeo (NYU MFA Writing Alum) and a poem by Brooke Burt (NYU MFA writing Alum, formerly House Of Vans). Co designed by Laura June Kirsch and Patrick Carrie.
