"Economy"

This is the third in a series of exhibits by members of The Northern Manhattan Photography Group (NoMa Photo). In this exhibit, veteran professional and emerging photographers explore the economic landscape in an exhibit of images ranging from street photography to high-concept.

“Economy” runs July 8-22, 2009 at The City College of New York’s Compton-Goethals Gallery, in Compton-Goethals Hall (CG134), Amsterdam Avenue between 139th and 140th Streets.

The group last exhibited in 2008 at Compton-Goethals Gallery in an show entitled “Vague Terrain: Manhattanville.” Many photos in the current exhibit were also taken on location: some in Northern Manhattan (Washington Heights and Inwood) and others throughout New York City.

Opening reception is Wednesday, July 8, 6-9 pm; exhibit hours are Mondays through Wednesdays, 10 am – 5 pm and Thursdays, 10 am – 7 pm. Attendees who register will be eligible to win a free print of the exhibit icon, “Fractured,” by Dawn K. Chase. The gallery is wheelchair accessible.

Exhibiting artists include fine art photographers Dawn K. Chase (whose fractured penny is the exhibit icon), Christopher Auger-Domínguez, Greg Brophy, Robert Cain, Simeon Gilmer, Eliud Martinez, Artists Unite, Inc. director Peter Ferko; concert/landscape photographer and activist Maggie Clarke; freelancer Tom Stoelker; designer Caren Litherland and and emerging photographer RoughAcres/RL McKee, whose work on the subject has appeared in WNYC’s online exhibit, “Uncommon Economic Indicators.”
