Jem Cohen: New York, Still and Moving
Robert Miller Gallery
524 West 26th Street
Through April 18
Cohen works in film, video, installation, and photography. He collects street images, portraits, and sounds. The projects built from his ongoing archives thrive on the collision between documentary, narrative, and experimental approaches. Some are personal/political city images and portraits of friends and artists. Many center around daily life and ephemeral moments, seen out of the corner of the eye and pulled into the center. This special project at Robert Miller will include previously unseen stills uniting his interest in the transient with a disappearing format, the discontinued Polaroid. Departures from traditional street photography, they are distillations of a city marked by demolition and disappearance — buildings and people passing through and held in place.
