image by Dina Kantor from Treece
A short description of Treece project from artist’s website:
“For the past few years, Dina has been documenting the town of Treece, Kansas. A former mining community, Treece is now economically and environmentally devastated. The residents are in the midst of a government-funded relocation program, so they can escape living on unstable land that is contaminated with lead. Dina is being sponsored by Blue Earth Alliance for her project in Treece.”

image by Josephine Dvorken from A. Blessing
Josephine Dvorken (b. 1970) is a photographer from New Jersey, the USA.
This is a short paragraph from her artist statement about A. Blessing series:
“My last name is Blessing. I am A. Blessing.” He said with a wink and little bow. I had a feeling that Alfred had used this endearing introduction before, and it worked like a charm. I took him for ice cream and he told me about his first big failure in life… buying a gas station.”
A short interview with Alex Prager by Fourth & Main.
image by Alex Prager, Susie and friends
Alex Prager’s (b. 1979, the USA) new body of work titled Compulsion is currently being exhibited in London, New York and L.A. I just can’t wait to see the images…
Her recreations of movie still like images are dealing with femininity in pop culture and in ordinary life. Exaggerated retro style dresses and makeup, together with strong colors and hard quality of light are emphasizing split personality of a woman, who is at the same time a goddess and a servant.

Bryan Schutmaat (b. 1983) is one of the most recognizable photographers of a younger generation. His photographs are a combination of visual poetry and topography. Photos from Heartland take us to a journey to the central USA… A land where several, so called belts meet: “Bible belt”, “Corn belt”, “Tornado alley”, etc.
