In conjunction with the "Rear Windows" exhibition taking place at the International Center for Photography, over the next five days I'll be taking over the ICP Instagram. Every day I'll share photos from a different project, each one touching on the "Rear Windows" theme of small, unnoticed or unseen communities that exist all around us. Please follow along!
Rear Windows Opening Sep. 16th at the ICP
This Wednesday, my ongoing project on New York City's last surviving peep shows will be exhibited at the International Center of Photography, in their education gallery. The work of four other ICP alumni will be shown as well: Allen Agostino, Nicolas Enriquez, Chris Occhicone, and Theo Zierock. "Rear Windows" was originally created for The Invisible Dog Gallery in Brooklyn by Pauline Vermare and Martine Fougeron- thanks to Lucien Zayan for exhibiting us the first time and making this show possible.
Please join us for the opening reception on September 16, from 6-8pm, 1114 Avenue of the Americas. The work will be on view until November 22.
See the ICP Page here and join the Facebook invite here. Hope to see you!

Rear Windows: Exhibition Opens Jun 25 at Invisible Dog Gallery
Featuring the work of Allen Agostino, Cate Dingley, Nicolas Enriquez, Christopher Occhicone, and Theo Zierock.
The Invisible Dog Art Center presents Rear Windows, a photographic exhibition that explores five stories hidden in the shadows of New York City: they live in the “Hole,” a neighborhood in Brooklyn below sea level, squatting in trailers; they strip in Times Square’s last peep show; they roam the streets as a chapter of the Latin Kings gang; they are addicted to drugs and alcohol in a tent city; and they gamble at a crumbling aqueduct on the edge of Queens.
OPENING RECEPTION:
Thursday, June 25, 6-10PM
The Invisible Dog Art Center
51 Bergen St, Brooklyn, New York 11201
Free and open to the public, cash bar
ON VIEW:
June 26, 27, & 28, 1-8PM
Curated by Pauline Vermare, Assistant Curator at the International Center of Photography, and fine-art photographer Martine Fougeron, Rear Windows features the work of five emerging photographers, all 2014 graduates of the photojournalism and documentary program at ICP. Through their unique approaches, they introduce the viewer to subjects who live in their dark corners by choice or inadvertently by the situation in which they have found themselves.
