Yuki HigashinoThe crowd is the veil through which the familiar city beckons to the flaneur as phantasmagoria- now a landscape, now a room. Walter Benjamin When faced with absence we resort to memory. The experience of the present, which normally includes making plans for the future, is currently on hold. The public realm, already hard to define, has become ethereal, as evidenced by our vacated streets. The very density and hyper-interactivity of cities have (...)

When an emancipation occurs, lots of things are liberated, some good, some bad. 1 Ron Vawter I love that two-dimensional TV world.

Social Photography VII
Gallery Exhibition Opens: Tuesday, July 9, 6-8 PMFirst presented in 2011, carriage trade’s Social Photography exhibitions have become both a tradition and an ongoing survey of cell phone camera use. What began as a novelty medium seven or eight years ago now provides currency for the $100 billion picture mill of Instagram, which funnels 95 million images a day through its social media network via opaque algorithms that determine the order and context of what we see. Fed into and viewed on a "slot machine" scroll where one might "hit the (...)

Julia Scher"Be seeing you." Salutation from The Prisoner The Village draws its inspiration from the 1960’s science fiction television show The Prisoner, created in 1967 by actor/director Patrick McGoohan. The Prisoner depicted a dystopian community known as "the Village" which possessed a cheerful Disneyesque appearance that belied its function as a kind of Soviet Bloc society whose citizens are under constant surveillance. Assigned numbers in place of names upon their arrival, the identities of (...)

Social Photography VI
Exhibition extended to September 23, 2018First presented in 2011, carriage trade’s Social Photography exhibitions have catalogued the rapid transformation of cell phone photography over the last several years. From a novelty medium existing between the voice and text functions of flip phones, to the smart phone as near physical appendage capable of recording and transmitting every waking moment, the cell phone camera now plays a pervasive role in many people’s lives. While Instagram tends to emphasize the medium’s social utility, (...)

Horacio ZabalaSuspicion, vengeance, and irrationality have become the new norm. As in previous times of radical social change, zealotry and demagoguery surge as faith in the established order recedes. The collective pursuit of democratic ideals, built on Enlightenment principles never quite fulfilled, suffers waves of backlash, resentment built up from centuries of promise and disappointment. Democracy, gamed by the twin forces of privatization and media spectacle, is forced to watch its failures writ (...)
