Summer in the South has brought Sweat. Hard Work also brings Sweat. And Sweat brings Art Shows!
reGeneration 2: Tomorrow's Photographers Today on view at Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland. The show will travel throughout the world and I will post updates on the schedule.
This is a post about the show from Aperture. The show will travel to Aperture in January 2011.
Thames & Hudson has also published a beautiful accompanying catalog for the show.
I recently participated in Gorgamon: Collaborative Exhibition with the Joanna, at Good Children Gallery in New Orleans. Carl Hugmeyer and I made an installation for the show:

I <3 Korea! Won't you please pick up the new issue of VogueGirl Korea (April 2010)...? WHO I AM. My name is Sophie Lvoff. Born in 1986, I am a New Orleans resident photography teacher. I capture the romance of sky, landscape, and science on film. Through exploration of color I compose my own landscape and rockets, airports, family, and, light become my structure and tools. When I encounter locations that pull my interest, I develop an intense fascination and see compositions. Very Much Thanks To: Miss Angie Kang and Nick Normal for helping with the translation! WHO Beautiful Crescent City DAT I moved to Louisiana: I took some important advice from the man: And lady: Now I teach these five year olds, and they call me Miss Sophie: News on exhibitions to follow! Sacrosanct Closing Schedule for Sacrosanct closing reception on Sunday, June 21 at 1610 Lexington Ave (102nd Street): 5-6: Patrick Cleandenim HOT off (the): Sacrosanct Infos SACROSANCT St. John's Episcopal American Catholic Church Sophie T. Lvoff is pleased to present “Sacrosanct”, a group exhibition dealing with issues of religious resonance and spirituality on view from June 14- June 21. "Sacrosanct" takes place at a church on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The building was built in 1920, and acted as a church from 1941. Since the dissolution of the church body in the 1990's, the space has been abandoned and closed to the public. Despite its subsequent deterioration, the space still retains its sense of holiness and importance. The surrounding neighborhood has also been in a state of transition, adding significance to the building. For the exhibition, ten artists have been invited into the abandoned space to work both independently and collectively to create, install, and perform pieces that respond to the sanctity of the environment. St. John's is an elusive and unorthodox venue for the arts, and will be explored as a unique site for the duration of the exhibition.

RUSSIA. These photographs from the summer of 2008 were taken in russia's moscow and yasnaya polyana. My family is descended from novelist and phenomonist Tolstoy and often visited his estate in Yasnaya Polyana. Russia's colorul landscape makes it a very complex country. Because it's Tolstoy's ___ there are always many visitors and weddings are held there every day. There are majestic trees and a lake you can swim in, the house that Tolstoy lived in, a stable, and a small orchard--visiting in person you feel a very stark/serene and comfortable atmosphere. Tolstoy created most of his masterpieces here.
MOMENT. I photographed an image of my grandfather. Grandfather was the eldest son of descendent of Tolsoy and he is the most interesting person of anybody I know. When I took the photograph my grandfather and older brother were taking a walk in the valley near the house and the light was so beautiful.
NEXT PLACE. After living in New York for a long time, I relocated six months ago to New Orleans, Louisiana. Though it suffered a lot of damage from Hurricane Katrina, its colorful/diverse culture remains and is amazingly breathing new life into the city. From here I want to focus on America's Southwest and shoot America's deserts. And since a long time ago I've always wanted to capture Egypt with my camera.
