I've known of Mona Kuhn's work for some time now, through my friend Marlaine Noel who has turned me on to many great photographers. However when trying to describe her work I looked for help from google and found the phrase " Nude but not Naked" jump out as the only English in a German article about Mona's photography. It seemed fitting, as does this text from a review on her web site " The Naturist community portrayed by Mona Kuhn- Brazilian born artist living in California- is shown through skillful photographic compositions made of precise points of focus and arranging of poses, planes, lines and tones. The languages of bodies and faces, though, also convey a distinct sense of nudity as a natural condition, not as a source of allusion. We feel that the affective relations, not the sensual ones, are what really matter".

Once again we are lucky to have a photo donated by Mona, and 149 others. See her work and the entire show this Saturday from 6-9pm. You can see more work and buy tickets at our Photo Lottery website www.as220.org/photolottery and the AS220 Bar
