| BASTIENNE SCHMIDT Home Stills |

 |
September 4 - November 7, 2010 The home is often the perfect stage for domestic bliss and self observation. In Home Stills, the award winning artist Bastienne Schmidt challenges this domestic utopia by photographing herself in the role of a ‘Housewife‘. Schmidt gives a visual interpretation of Virginia Woolf‘s idea of ‘a room of one’s own’. She follows the Highway 27 on Long Island , from Patchogue to Easthampton, recreating her interiors from cheap motel rooms to upscale Hamptons mansions as imaginary rooms of her own. The sense of quiet meditation reminds one of Vermeer’s interiors and the melancholy and empty spaces of Edward Hopper. The light with which Schmidt draws in her photographs , casts long and clear shadows ,dense with rich color. In this world , the female figure walks seamlessly from open landscape into suburbia. |

September 4 - November 7, 2010 During the 1994 genocide, over one hundred thousand Rwandan women were subjected to massive sexual violence, perpetrated by members of the infamous Hutu militia groups known as the Interhamwe. Among the survivors, the most isolated are the women who have borne children as a result of being raped. In February of 2006, Jonathan Torgovnik traveled to East Africa to report on a story for Newsweek, coinciding with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the outbreak of HIV/AIDS. While in Rwanda, he heard the testimony of Odette, a survivor who was raped during the Rwandan genocide, and as a result of the rape she had a child and contracted HIV/AIDS. She described how her entire family had been killed, and recounted the terrible abuse she experienced. Odette’s horrific story led Torgovnik to return to Rwanda to work on a personal project about women like Odette, who were the victims of the same heinous crimes and who were left pregnant as a result. Over the next three years, he made repeated visits to photograph these women and their children, and record their heart-wrenching stories. |
