Now on at Gallery 98 Bowery: No Wave Films, 1976 - 1985


Just in from Marc Miller at 98 Bowery:

NO WAVE AND INDEPENDENT FILM, 1976-1985 - AN EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND EPHEMERA

Films by:  Amos Poe ~ Scott B & Beth B ~ Charlie Ahearn ~ Richard Kern ~ Gordon Stevenson

Because the photos were intended as advertisement, they effectively capture the essence of the films; and, in most cases, the filmmakers were themselves involved in the making and selection of the still images.  These stills stand on their own, not only as vivid reflections of the films but also of the broader 1970s zeitgeist that the films consciously sought to embody.

See the online exhibition, and much more, only at http://gallery.98bowery.com/
