Collateral Damage: The Human Face of War
September 7 - December 1, 2012
Stephen Daiter Gallery
230 West Superior, Fourth Floor
Chicago, Illinois 60654
312-787-3350
This exhibition benefits Wounded Warriors and/or Servicemember Legal Defences organizations supporting our veterans
About the exhibition:
Collateral Damage: The Human Face of War is both a show of art works and a cry for help. And while the photographs have been taken by talented and dedicated photographers (Samanta Appleton, Vincent Cianni, Ashley Gilbertson and Stephanie Sinclair) many of the images explore the human heart of darkness in compelling but often difficult to view images. However, it is crucial that these works be seen; they need to be present and available, as an aid to our knowledge and understanding of the longest military conflict in the history of the United States. The recurrent remarks of returning veterans of late, include their disbelief at just how invisible the sense of war is back home, no longer newsworthy. Yet far too many of these young men and women who served this country in the armed forces, are returning to the United States with their lives completely shattered. They are coming home to an official system that underserves because it is overwhelmed. They are coming to a society that doesn't want to hear about the war. They are coming home unable to find work. They are coming home missing limbs. They are coming home psychically damaged - suffering from various forms of post-traumatic stress disorder, and battling depression, paranoia, drug addiction, insomnia, broken marriage and lure of suicide.
You can help them by buying a photograph:
The photographs range from $1500-$5000. One-half of the sale price would be tax-deductible and donated directly by you to either Wounded Warriors or the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. The other half will go directly to the photoraphers, who are in serious need of financial support. The Stephen Daiter Gallery will take nothing of any proceeds from sales from this exhibition. If the photographs are too intense for your collection, consider purchasing with the intention of donating to the DePaul Art Museum.

Brain Tumor Foundation Fundraiser: 2012 ING New York City Marathon
Central Park, New York (Man Doing Splits in Mid Air), 1951-55
Our friend, Jack Turner, and his running team for the Brain Tumor Foundation are fundraising in preparation for the 2012 ING New York City Marathon. Jack’s Fundraiser offers a chance to win an original Vivian Maier, silver gelatin print (shown above). Donate at least $50 no later than October 28, 2012, to benefit the Brain Tumor Foundation for a chance to win a Vivian Maier print and to support a great cause!
Please visit the following site for details:
http://www.crowdrise.com/teambtf2012/fundraiser/jackturner1
Official rules for the print contest:
http://promos.cdn.crowdrise.com/Rules-BTF-Poster-9-28-2012.pdf
Friends,
It is that time of year again!...I clean myself up and try to run through all five of the NYC boroughs. This is an amazing event and it is one of my favorite things about this city.
The great thing about the NYC marathon is that NY Road Runners requires many runners to raise money for various different charities as part of their entry. Over the years, millions of dollars have been raised by athletes or... people like me.
This year I am raising money for the Brain Tumor Foundation in honor of a really good friend of mine who passed away a few years ago. The Brain Tumor Foundation is working very effectively to heighten awareness of brain cancer as well as inform family and friends of its impact.
You are solicited every day to donate to various different causes. This is not a Kickstarter campaign that will result in a film being made or a business getting off the ground, this is a way to impact and improve real people's lives. If I have donated to your campaigns in the past, take the time to donate now - it will mean a great deal to a lot of people.
