New work by Jaime Alvarez.

Jaime Alvarez has given us nearly a full year’s worth of the Artist’s I’ve Shot, but, like most things, it must come to an end. He’s coming off this by returning to the studio for some still lives, one of which is above, and continuing to post more work on his tumblr, jaimephoto.tumblr.com. Thanks for all the great work, Jaime – we loved every bit of the exposure you gave to some of your favorite artists!


Coming up in the New Year for Vox Populi is Aux’s 4th Curatorial Fellow, Anthony Romero, who’s bringing a suite of programming to the space. Romero is presenting May I say a few words? – a series of programs that consider the voice as “an instrument of liberation, communication, performance, and the body.” The series takes place over 6 nights from mid-January to mid-March 2015 and promises artists presenting lectures, screenings, performances, and conversations. the potential of the voice.
