<br/><br/>“People often ask me what <a href="http://shop.ampersandvintage.com/product/uncle-charlie-marc-asnin" target="_self"><em>Uncle Charlie</em></a> is about. After thirty years, one would think I would be able to easily sum it up. But this book is life, raw unintelligible life; the life of one man, my uncle, and as in life, there are no easy answers or summaries. It’s about broken dreams, disappointment, and having the resiliency to find slivers of happiness in an oppressed existence. It’s about consequences, missed opportunities, delusions and loss. It’s about having the guts to look intensely at the familiar and process what’s in front of you, taking an account of your family, your society and what is said about both. It’s about a relationship between two men, from two generations, living very different lives, bound by family. It’s collaboration of sorts: his words and my images. It’s my dance with my godfather.”<br/><br/>- Marc Asnin<br/><br/>Not able to make it?</p> <p>You can reserve a signed copy of the book online <a href="http://shop.ampersandvintage.com/product/uncle-charlie-marc-asnin" target="_self">here</a>.</p> <p>- Event -</p> <p>04.18.2013</p>http://ampersandgallery.tumblr.com/post/48309276609http://ampersandgallery.tumblr.com/post/48309276609Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:42:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/33ca931b56edb06512c4ccacab5b7ea5/tumblr_mkt4nyaHOK1r0h765o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6731f25d6ae859be6de3905a7674935b/tumblr_mkt4nyaHOK1r0h765o2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/088d243f86bfe146bb2007fd1a143c40/tumblr_mkt4nyaHOK1r0h765o4_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/30875b5818d5c5fbf77b7ae36bcbb435/tumblr_mkt4nyaHOK1r0h765o3_r2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><em>Object</em> by Robert Mapplethorpe.</p> <p>Recently published by Dashwood Books, <em>Object</em> features many previously unpublished works by Mapplethorpe from his early career from 1969 to 1973.
