Dread Scott, The Raveonettes, and Coves in "Events & Shows"

Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes

I recently shot The Raveonettes and Coves at The Music Hall of Williamsburg for Impose Magazine.  Photos from that set (and additional photos that I had wanted to include but couldn't due to submission restrictions) can now be found on the "Events & Shows" page.

Coves

Also newly added to "Events & Shows" are photos I took on my iPhone of artist Dread Scott's performance "On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide".  It was, to say the least, a powerful and moving commentary on race, culture, history, and community without a single word being spoken.  I urge you to click the above links to learn about Dread Scott and this piece.  I've also uploaded a slow-motion video of a portion of the performance below.

Dread Scott faces this fireman and the blast of water coming from the hose.

Soon I'll be off on a little trip outside of NYC, and I will hopefully bring you some fresh photos from the lands beyond Brooklyn in the next couple of weeks.
