Two of An Xiao’s photos now grace the cover of Boxcar Poetry Review’s March 2008 issue. Selected for inclusion were works from her recent nighttime series, including Drive Thru (2007) and Just Me (2008), where she explores issues of impermanence and solitude in the dark moments of the city.

Drive Thru, 2007

As editor Neil Aitken describes the issue, “Stunning poems accompanied by An Xiao’s equally stunning images of dark quiet spaces. This is a feast.”

Review in Empty Easel

An Xiao — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:10:17 +0000

An Xiao’s photography has been reviewed by Dan at Empty Easel, a popular web site for artists and art lovers to learn about the business of art and also to learn from each others’ work. This is a great honor for her, due both to Empty Easel’s selectivity and the fact that this is the first-ever review of her photography.

Hackey Sack, 2007

“Photographs have always captured split-second moments in time, yet An Xiao’s photography is something extra special in that regard. . . . [Her] urban photography is inspired both by haiku poetry and the images of Henri Cartier-Bresson.”

Tricycle: The Buddhist Review

An Xiao — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:35:22 +0000

An Xiao’s work has been published in the Spring 2008 edition of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, the leading journal of Buddhism in the West, with a readership of about 200,000 internationally. Departure, 2007, an image of birds taking flight in Coney Island, is featured alongside poet and essayist Andrew Schelling’s haiku, inspired by the photo.

Departure is easily one of An Xiao’s most popular photos from 2007, having been featured with Tenri Gallery at the Asian Contemporary Art Fair and the Slocumb Galleries’ Positive/Negative 23 exhibition, juried by Antoine Guerrero of P.S.1 MoMA. It comes from her larger series on Coney Island, a portion of which has also been published in the Brooklyn Rail. She is grateful to have the opportunity to bring this piece, a strong example of her Zen-influenced streethaiku photography, to a wider audience.

Many thanks to editor Sarah Todd for facilitating the publication. Tricycle can be found in bookstores and newsstands.
