Did exactly what I expect from most gallery spaces and made me outraged at how mediocrity is often mistaken for excellence, If you like photos of other people's art ( photo of statue of Romulus and Remus not made by "artist" labeled as "Dog Statue" lol, photos of other people's paintings etc..) and hyper commercial and derivative works then this will get you excited. Hidden amongst the dross and semi competent but, uninspired and culturally uninformed work are some nice prints. Especially welcome was the exhibit of community work by children, easily comparable with that of the established "artists". Meh, welcome to the slow demise of western culture. It is free to look at pictures, as it should be, but is sadly seldom the case these days.

a mecca for photography books, programs, intelligence, and shows in NYC. amazing space tucked into a fourth floor. always worth going - and while you are at it stop by other galleries in the building.

This is a magazine and gallery space. I like the shows they bring through. It's NY but they still seem to compete with the quality of their exhibitions. Peek in when you can!
