Saltn' Vinegar Book Launch by A-CHAN

About

The BAXTER ST at CCNY community is invited to this special Members' Backyard Gathering where members will present/project/share current work and where we will also be celebrating the launch of BAXTER ST at CCNY member A-CHAN's new publication from Steidl, Salt'n Vinegar. Copies of the book will be available for sale and A-CHAN will be present to sign them!

BAXTER ST at CCNY is pleased to host a book launch for Salt'n Vinegar (Stiedl, 2016) by member A-CHAN. A-CHAN was born in 1978 and raised in Japan. She began her career photographing advertisements, CD jackets and magazine editorials. She has since exhibited her photographs and held slide shows at galleries in Tokyo and New York. 

A-CHAN created the images in Salt’n Vinegar in her home in New York and on travels between 2011 and 2013. Continuing her eloquent unassuming reflections on her immediate surroundings, she depicts the unexpected beauty of water streaming from a faucet, a figure skater caught mid- pirouette, street scenes, supermarket shelves and a lone packet of potato chips, which lends its title to this book. 

Salt’n Vinegar features both color and black-and-white images, suggesting that the independent threads of A-CHAN’s colored Vibrant Home and her black-and-white Off Beat, both published by Steidl in 2012, have now found resolution in book form.

In conjunction with the launch of Salt’n Vinegar, we recently spruced up our backyard and we'd love to share it with you! For our Members’ Backyard Gathering, BAXTER ST at CCNY Members are invited to send jpegs in advance to be included in a slideshow or bring in prints to share with the community.
