New York Un-Seen: A Gallery

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

 

 

 

When you walk the streets of New York, do you see strange things? Do the familiar signs, window displays, and doorways that structure reality for us because of our needs and desires disappear every now and then, leaving nothing but some mundane phantasm that was there all the time, waiting for you to notice it, perhaps for years? Did you have a camera in your hand or a sketchbook? Sometimes I did, and so have others. Look here for an ongoing exhibition recording the things we don’t see in New York.
