Spring '07 Hot Shot Nina Berman's Homeland exhibition at Jen Bekman Gallery has been extended until November 29th.

Jen Bekman Gallery is pleased to present Homeland, an exhibition of fourteen color photographs by award winning photojournalist, Nina Berman. The exhibition features a selection of images from her new monograph, Homeland, published by Trolley Press, 2008. Berman's first solo show with Jen Bekman Gallery, Purple Hearts, received international attention and acclaim. In a review for The New York Times, critic Holland Cotter proclaimed, "the images add up to a complex and desolating anti-war statement." Berman's powerful, often chilling images, culled over the last seven years as she photographed across the United States, give us insight into the bizarre manifestations of homeland security and the ideologies that have reshaped post 9-11 America. Her portraits of American military wounded in the Iraq War, Purple Hearts, and her award- winning, iconic and devastating Marine Wedding, laid bare the war's toll on its young veterans. With Homeland, she once again pushes us to look at American power and myth as it plays out in the heartland.

Berman has received much attention and many accolades (including awards from the World Press Photo Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Open Society Institute documentary photography fund) for her photographs of the American political and social landscape. She is on the faculty of the International Center of Photography in her hometown of New York City.
