PAST EXHIBITION

Mannahatta

November 17, 2007—December 22, 2007

In Susan Wides’ new series, Mannahatta, she offers a view of New York that is at once both recognizable and disorienting. With rare permission to shoot from roofs of new skyscrapers where most of us can never go, Wides allows us to see the city almost as a physical entity of complicated tensions.  While certain photographs intentionally evoke earlier artists who depicted modern city culture, we also experience a New York of heightened color and distortions of space, scale and light. The city appears before us, dissolving into shapes of light and energy, presenting an uncanny perspective.
