Time and Space on the Lower East Side will be exhibited at Dillon Gallery from March 7 to April 9. Dillon is on West 25th Street in the gallery district of Chelsea on the same block as Pace Gallery and the Tesla electric car showroom. Like most of the galleries in Chelsea, it was originally in Soho. Although they are known mostly for paintings–and even an artist who works in scents–the owner Valerie Dillon was open to considering photography, and decided a few months ago to take me on as one of her artists.
The gallery is quite large, easily accessible on the ground floor, and will provide plenty of wall space to present my Lower East Side pictures at a scale that is impressive, but appropriate for view camera images. There will be 26 images all together, and twelve will be printed 4×5 feet, enough images to present an overview of the whole project with the focus slightly skewed toward the 1980 images made with Edward Fausty, which may have the most sales potential.
The opening is March 7 from 6 to 8pm, and everyone is invited.
Hello Brian:
Am visiting NY for the first time in over 30 years, and will be missing your exhibition by days… am so disappointed, because it looks fantastic.
Last place I stayed in NY was on East Second Street… that lady in the fur coat getting in the car… I’d have loved to see it in large format.
Will it be hanging anywhere in NY from April 19-24?
Best regards
Neil Hester
Sorry you missed the exhibit. It was great–I was very pleased with everything.
Dillon Gallery has a room downstairs from the main space where they show various pieces by their artists. I understand that a couple of the big prints will be up for a while. So, you should stop by the gallery and see them. I don’t know which ones they are, so don’t count on the E2nd Street print.
