This week showcases Andrew Bush’s series, Vector Portraits. Project description, courtesy of Yossi Milo Gallery: “Begun in 1989, Andrew Bush’s series Vector Portraits was taken while the artist drove the city streets and freeways of Los Angeles. Either stopped in traffic or traveling at speeds of 20 to 70 miles per hour, the artist took portraits of other drivers using a medium-format roll-film camera and flash attached to the passenger side door of his car. Extended titles note particulars of speed, location or time with scientific precision while leaving other details unclear, such as “Man traveling southbound at 67 mph on U.S. Route 101 near Montecito, California, at 6:31 p.m. on or around Sunday, August 28, 1994”.”

An exhibition will open on Thursday, April 23 and close on Saturday, June 27 at Yossi Milo Gallery, New York. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Julie Saul Gallery, New York, where additional large-scale work from the “Vector Portraits” series will be on view.
