Lawless Bond, a solo exhibition by Sam Falls
Opening Reception, June 4th, 7-9 PM
Capricious Space, 103 Broadway, BK, NY

In Falls’ words, “photography has become synonymous with language, maybe even replaced it in the hierarchy of contemporary communication. As an art form, we are hypothetically freed up from using the image as a guide, but that is not always an easy expectation for the viewer to accept. The viewer of photography, like language, traditionally expects a universal symbolism; a qualified meaning that has been chewed up and spit back out over time.” Through this body of work, Falls poses the questions: How can we unite art and photography without these expectations — without these semiotic laws? How can the photograph and the viewer exist right now, together?

there isn’t much more i can say; as a very young man this is exactly what i imagined new york to be like.

ice(d) coffee, that is. as enjoyable as a hot coffee is in cooler months, it’s younger iced sibling is a go-to day in and day out through spring and summer; with 90° in new york today this particular serving was especially rewarding. nice!

always keeping things playful and lively. As demonstrated

Viviane Sassen recently had a show at Danziger Projects here in New York, and has had some fantastic work in Fantastic Man, among other pages. This black-and-white book is Sol & Luna, for Our Legecy by Libraryman. Very nice.
