Untitled by Sara Macel

Hot on the heels of the announcement of our Second Edition 2009 Hot Shots, we bring you great news from Summer 2006 Hot Shot Sara Macel. A solo-show of her series Texas Bunch opened just over a week ago at Kris Graves Projects in Brooklyn.

Texas Bunch is a collection of photographs taken in Sara's home state of Texas over the past five years. This show marked the ten-year anniversary of Macel's exodus from where she grew up to her current home in Brooklyn, New York. In stepping back from the landscape of her youth, Sara is able to see it with an outsider's eyes. In doing so, Macel was able to recognize its strangeness while remembering its familiarity.

If you can't make it out to Brooklyn before the show closes you can see the work online at Sara's website. Congratulations to Sara; we suspect that this solo-show will be the first of many!
