 Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce Neil Winokur: Hardware. The dates of the exhibition are 14 September – 29 October 2011. Winokur, who is known for his deadpan studies of objects, humans, and dogs, has turned his attention to peculiar hardware shapes. Their usefulness of a very specific yet unknown nature, these items manifest a cerebral gravity. Although free of irony, a playfulness is evinced as well. There appears to be a geometric significance to certain shapes, though what that might be is also elusive. They are seductive without being sentimental. Each Cibachrome print bursts with hyper-saturated color. While the objects chosen are of an elementary nature, their purpose is unknown. Winokur’s signature style, of isolating objects against vibrant colors, elevates these humble items to celebrity status.


Neil Winokur (American, B. 1945) is a prominent New York artist, whose work is included in all major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, Houston; George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; The Jewish Museum, New York; The Denver Art Museum; The Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and many others.

 Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce an exciting exhibition of work by Jim Dow, featuring eighteen images of diners, restaurants, food trucks and snack bars in the Dining Concourse of Grand Central Terminal (Lexington/42nd Street.) The exhibition has been curated by MTA Arts for Transit, which produces photography lightbox exhitibions at key locations in the MTA transit system. Kodak has rendered the images as giant transparencies on their new Kodak Professional UV-Curable Display Film©, which they generously donated to this project.

Taken throughout the United States, these wonderful images are companions to Dow’s new book, American Studies. Using an 8x10” view camera, Dow painstakingly photographs the light, the atmosphere, the colors, of America’s dining options. The alluring glow of neon beckons. His signature style elevates and ennobles these quirky locales. He has also eaten in all of them, being a connoisseur and fan of barbecue, tacos, ice cream, and all other foods encountered in his travels.
