Ruby Rumie and Justine Graham at Nohra Haime Gallery

Can you guess who is the housekeeper in each of these photos and who is the employer?  Columbian artist Ruby Rumie and French-American photographer Justine Graham teamed up to question the perceived and real differences between one hundred women in photographs and accompanying interviews at Nohra Haime Gallery.  As the uniform white shirts worn by the women suggest, Rumie and Graham emphasize the women’s shared hopes, fears and more in questionnaires and videos that foreground their similarities.   (On view in Chelsea through Nov 16th).

Ruby Rumie at Nohra Haime Gallery

When Columbian artist Ruby Rumie chanced to meet Cartagena street vendor Dominga Torres Tehran, she commenced a series of strikingly beautiful portraits now on view at Nohra Haime Gallery in Chelsea. Titled ‘Weaving Streets,’ the show celebrates the communities of women who sell fish, fruit and other foods on the streets. Wearing understated white dresses, the women’s unique identities and natural beauty are the focus of this remarkable body of work. (On view in Chelsea through Jan 6th).
