Michael Mundy captures the essence of a moment with an uncommon depth and sensitivity.
His simple, tranquil and sophisticated images of interiors are revealing and resonate with the
character of their inhabitants. They often create a sense of ambiguity while also exposing
personality in a glance, an angle, a revealing moment.

Michael Mundy is one of the great interior and portrait photographers of our times. His work taps
into the soul of everything from architectural spaces to noted personalities, as well as fashion.
He has worked for some of the world’s most prestigious brands, including Kohler, Frette, Calvin
Klein, Nautica, Grey Goose Vodka, and Morgan Hotel Group (The Delano, The Hudson, The
Mondrian), and Andre Balaz Hotels (The Mercer Hotel, Sunset Beach and Chateau Marmont), as
well as W, Travel and Leisure, Architektur, German Vogue, Tatler and more.

For the past 2 years, Izak has worked closely with Celine to produce a series of 7 scarves. In 2005 he was commissioned by Guerlain to produce the packaging for a limited edition fragrance. He continues to be the face of Henri Bendel, New York’s source for original fashion and leading style.

JULY 23 – SEPTEMBER 2, 2010

John Margolies has made a career of documenting America and the rapidly disappearing architecture and design of our nation.
His photographs serve as an archive of American kitsch—main street gas stations, movie theaters, short order restaurants and
vacation destinations that catered to the auto-tourist of the mid-century. From faux leaning Towers of Pizza to giant doughnuts,
these emblematic attractions born in the age of the gas-guzzling automobile are being destroyed to make way for strip malls with the
easily recognizable, homogenized architecture and design of franchises. The tackiness that once announced family fun is
being replaced with structures with infinitely less charm, free-form individualism and pioneerism that these monuments embody.

John Margolies has traveled over 100,000 miles over the last 30 years documenting these national relics with his camera.
The Library of Congress has honored him and cemented the importance of his work by purchasing over 700 of his photographs.
Author of a dozen books, his photographs and articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Domus
and Architectural Record. His just released book, Roadside America, by Taschen gives justice to this lifetime of work.

Traffic Art Space has the pleasure to exhibit a selection of 25 John Margolies vintage prints, on view from July 23 through
September 2, 2010. A reception for the artist will be held August 11 from 6-8 pm.

Photographer Michael Mundy captures the essence of his subjects with anuncommon depth and sensitivity.
Simple, tranquil and revealing, his images of interiors resonate with the character of their inhabitants;
his portraits expose personality in a glance, an angle, a revealing moment. Telling stories much like a
cinematographer, Mundy instills a realness and immediacy in his images that is both absorbing and
compelling. His sense of light and color gives them the sort of sumptuous beauty usually reserved for
artwork.

All of this has made Mundy highly sought after by some of the world’s most prestigious brands, including,
CALVIN KLEIN, NAUTICA, BCBG, HERVE LEGER, BANK OF AMERICA, KALISTA, KOHLER, BAKER FURNITURE,
FRETTE, GREY GOOSE VODKA, J. CREW and hotels in the MORGAN HOTEL GROUP, which include THE
DELANO, THE HUDSON, THE MONDRIAN and the new MONDRIAN MIAMI. All this in addition to Andre
Balazs’s hotels: THE MERCER HOTEL, SUNSET BEACH and the CHATEAU MARMONT.

Mundy’s editorial work taps into the soul of everything from architectural spaces to noted personalities,
and is found in publications around the world, including W Magazine, Travel and Leisure, Town & Country,
Men’s Journal, Tatler, German Vogue, Architektur und Wohnen and many more.

Traffic Art Space and Edelman Arts in conjunction with James Fuentes LLC present the first view of a new body of work by the habitually original art personage Agathe Snow.  Often associated with the notorious downtown art scene, Agathe has forged her own path through her vigorous, unique and very personal view of the world and objects in the environment around her.

Agathe Snow was born in 1976 in Corsica and has lived in New York since the mid 1980s. Her practice is multi-faceted. It includes and incorporates writing, performance, sculpture, collage and installation.

She has exhibited solo projects in Europe and New York at spaces including the New Museum, New York, Power Plant, Toronto, and the Jeu de Paume, Paris. Her work is in public collections including the Guggenheim Museum, the Dikeou Collection, the Saatchi Collection, and the Zabludowicz Collection

Recently Snow participated in group exhibitions including: New York Minute at the Macro Future Museum, Rome; Abstract America: New Painting and Sculpture at the Saatchi Gallery, London; SAND: Memory, Meaning, and Metaphor at the Parrish Art Museum, New York; The Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; In Practice at Sculpture Center,
New York; Three for Society at 303 Gallery, New York; Beneath the Underdog at Gagosian Gallery, New York; Dimes of March at Reena Spaulings Fine Arts, New York; Concrete Castle at Le Confort Moderne, Pointers, France; and Art Basel Miami Beach, Positions. Her work was also the single artist installation at the James Fuentes LLC booth at Miami Basel 2009. Snow has been featured in Artnet, V Magazine, i-D Magazine, Papermag, Interview Magazine, The New York Times and Visionaire 57: 2010.

This body of work is evocative of early Warhol flowers, Tom Wesselman and Roy Lichtenstein fused with the materiality of relief works by Elizabeth Murray, Frank Stella and Lee Bontecou. Although the references seem to relate to Pop art, the use of the materials root back to the more gritty process Agathe Snow has traditionally embraced.
