Description:
"Downtown Pix" features over 300 photographs, videos, and printed materials from the acclaimed collections of Fales Library at New York University. Organized jointly by the Grey Art Gallery, NYU's fine arts museum, and Fales Library, NYU's rare book and manuscript collection, the show surveys New York's Downtown scene from the 1960s to the early '90s. The exhibition focuses on one of the period's dominant art forms-photography-which played a central and vital role in the Downtown scene. These immensely creative decades witnessed the emergence and flourishing of a distinctly Downtown attitude toward art and life. Curated by writer and photography historian Philip Gefter, the show features works by Nan Goldin, Robert Alexander, Jimmy DeSana, Fred W. McDarrah, David Wojnarowicz, and many others, as well as images from the archives of Creative Time, the Judson Memorial Church, and the papers of Richard Hell-all of which are housed at Fales.

Exhibition on view January 12-April 3, 2010.
