The photo exhibition Vatican Gold is a celebration of life, humor and skateboarding. Featuring the works of Jonnie Craig and Emerica riders Ed Templeton, Jerry Hsu and Kevin Long. The exhibition runs September 5 – 18, 2010 at Gallery Steinsland Berliner.

Is there much more to say? Emerica, whose connection should be obvious in the artist association, has just released a new team film. Stay Gold is available today on DVD and Digital.

Jerome Liebling: Capturing the Human Spirit is on view at the Currier Museum of Art through September 19, 2010. I love the casual nature of this video, filmed as the show was being hung.

Edition One Hundred is pleased to announce the September 1 launch of Freedom & Revolution, a two-month exhibition curated by founder Cat Jimenez and Veronica Thomas featuring the work of Brooke Ashe, B+, Kevin Hayes, Ardith Ibanez, Cynthia Loebe Wendell Mc Shine, Miles Regis, and RETNA.

Founded by curator Cat Jimenez, Edition One Hundred represents the spirit of “Freedom & Revolution” in that Ms. Jimenez is starting this new company with an eye towards innovation, free expression, and original thinking.

Will (a great bloke) from It’s Nice That posted a short blurb about Josef Shulz Sign Out (2009) project. I love that Shulz reduces the signs to color and shape – the above clearly from “Waffle House” – pushing the ubiquity of roadside commerce beyond the painfully obvious.

Shulz is of Polish origin and resides in Germany. Architectural and landscape photography is his speciality.

More “Sign Out” images follow.

South African photographer Zwelethu Mthethwa is a rising star in his native country. He’s also subject of an exhibition at The Studio Museum in Harlem through October 24, 2010, and a new book from Aperture.

Zwelethu Mthethwa: Inner Views brings together three series by South African photographer Zwelethu Mthethwa (b. 1960). “Interiors” and “Empty Beds” document the domestic lives of migrant workers around Johannesburg, South Africa, while “Common Ground” focuses on the shared experience of natural disasters in urban areas, featuring houses in New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa, after wildfires.

Flavorwire profiled the exhibition fully yesterday. After the jump, a small selection from Inner Views.

Opening on September 9, 2010, at Galerie du Jour, a group show featuring Harmony Korine, Dash Snow, and Ryan McGinley. Korine, writer of the film KIDS, paints dark abstract figures which balance nicely with McGinley’s compositions and Snow’s abstract photographs (above). One might suggest that if you mash up McGinley and Snow you get Korine. That analysis, however, is overly simplistic. Still, the reasoning behind showing alongside the more well-known names is pretty obvious.

Arrested Motion previewed the exhibition. We share that here too.

Dazed interviews 24-year old, London-based photographer Barbara Anastacio. “Her love for photography began after attending a Diane Arbus exhibition, and it has continued since. Photographing her subjects with an incredible directness, her images appear up-front and overly saturated akin to something you’d expect from a Martin Parr portrait. Whether it be on a sunny beach or a snowy pavement, Anastacio’s photographs have the ability to hold your gaze. Through them you get a real sense of character and surrounding, almost as if you are there in that precise moment. Anastacio’s dexterity as a photographer is also quite remarkable; shooting portraiture, landscape, fashion and documentary style photography all to equally high measure, on both digital and film.”

She’s a bright young lady, and her thoughts concise and well measured. Read the full interview here.

A few examples of Anastacio’s work after the jump.

These magnificent acrobatic ladies are among the Working Stiffs on display at the Queens Art Museum through October 3, 2010. Drawing from the institution’s photography collection, 50 images make up the exhibition, each with a different view of what it is to work. The photographs cover great cultural and geographic ground. The works also cover both the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the selected photographs, some are by famed artists – Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Reginald Marsh – and others by lesser knowns.

In total, the collected material works to celebrate diversity of occupation and place – fitting in New York’s most diverse borough.

More information about the exhibition can be found at QMA.
