From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part III: Junot Diaz and Principal Santana
Ordinarily I refrain from posting more than one photo from a member of my photo pool in a single day. However, given that this hails from our very own Automotive High School I am making an exception. Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:
The writer Junot Diaz read from his book and did a great Q&A at a fund raiser for the Frances Perkins Academy, run by his old friend (and now Principal) Dr. Santana.
I was lucky enough to get this picture; two amazing people devoted to helping kids navigate a tough period.
This is a wonderful portrait of two very good friends. Great job, Chris!

The details I received about this event are scant (READ: I got a mass email) but follows is the press release:
Spork Used As Knife (and other disconcerting events)
Opening Friday, April 1, 7-10
Featuring artists Maurice Doherty, Shana Moulton, Hilary Sand, Dave Sherry, and Curver Thoroddsen.
The exhibition investigates humor and performance and their unique ability to reflect the absurdity of everyday life. The history of performance art offers the medium as a means of rebellion, the act of breaking with the current state of art and politics. The work featured in “Spork Used As Knife” rather ruptures the personal experience of everyday life by forcing the viewer to turn his or her perspective, to view it from a skewed angle. The mirrored reflection of life by art comes ever closer in performance, and with the comfort offered by humor, begins to break down this distinction.Each artist in the show approaches these barriers between the quotidian and The Quotidian from a different perspective, and through different mobilizations of the banal and the humorous.
This is a really exciting show, and has been an amazing opportunity to work with some brilliant artists.
Spork Used As Knife
Opening Reception: April 1, 2011 starting at 7:00 p.m.
