Lisa Kereszi - News & Events

zingmagazine 22 release party

Issues of zingmagazine #22 are finally ready to hit the shelves. This incarnation of the magazine known as “a curatorial crossing” includes Lisa’s curated suite of pictures entitled “Peepshow Creepshow.” With a nod to the Siouxsie and the Banshees song of the same name, it is a melding of 2 projects: empty strip clubs with creepily erotic haunted house scenes, drawing a disturbing connection between the two. The release party will take place Thursday, January 26th 7-9pm at ZING HQ, 83 Grand St, between Greene and Wooster (entrance to the left of Team Gallery).
Available for purchase in NYC here.

Joe's Junk Yard project listed on The New Yorker's Photobooth

An image selected from Kereszi’s upcoming book on her family’s business, Joe’s Junk Yard (Damiani, Fall 2012) is being featured in The New Yorker magazine’s photo blog, Photobooth , in a 2011 year-end posting about their photographers’ current projects. The image is from a recent trip to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where she was following her own family’s roots while also following the route Walker Evans took in the area 76 years ago. This is also exactly when her great-grandfather lived at and ran his coal-distribution company on East 3rd Street, directly across from the steel mill. The steel stacks of the plant, made famous in Evans’s photograph from a nearby cemetery, are reflected in the screen door of her one-time family home.
