Underline Gallery in New York City is presenting a solo exhibition by Anja called “Take Out: Chinese Fast Food” from April 5–May 13, 2012. This series of photographs, shot in a temporary food court set up inside Beijing’s Olympic Park, concentrates on the saturated visual displays of the food stalls and the way the environment contrasts with the boredom of the workers. Curated by Michael Steinberg.
Two prints from Anja’s photography series “Elevated Acre” are now in two museum collections in China — at the Huantie Times Art Museum and the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre — both in Beijing.
Anja will teach a two-day workshop at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing, China this October 8 and 15. The workshop, “Seeing People and the Space Around Them,” is for those who want to create dynamic compositions and develop a heightened sensitivity to photographing people in various surroundings. Anja’s workshop will be one of the first of its kind offered at Three Shadows. More info is available at threeshadows.cn or by emailing Leise Hook.
