I was at the New York Public Library today and stopped into Eminent Domain, a NYPL exhibit of contemporary photography in New York (on the first floor, just as you come in the main entrance, and it is free to the public). It is a beautifully curated show, thoughtful and in touch with both New York and the photographers. I was particularly glad to discover the work of Zoe Leonard and Ethan Levitas. Levitas’ series “Untitled/This is just to say” is of photographs of subway cars and riders (seen below). Leonard’s work (seen above) is concerned with globalization and urban redevelopment. If you find yourself in midtown (42nd and 6th) with a few minutes, pop in — I think you’ll enjoy!
