Art and the Subway
Explores artistic production surrounding the world's most famous public transportation system, from just before its opening in 1904 onwards. Using images, this work offers perspectives on ways in which the subway has been used as a subject about which to make art, as a site within which to make art, and as a canvas upon which to make art.
Converging Territories
According to Islamic tradition, men dominate the public sphere and women are expected to remain indoors at most times. In Essaydi's native Morocco, this confinement has been further used as a punishment for those who transgress the rules of gender conduct. Here, women are given a voice not only through their actions, but also through their words. Words adorn the clothes, skin and rooms of these women in a deliberate and powerful act of rebellion. Here is the opportunity for women to engage in the emerging culture of Islamic feminism.

FloodZone
FloodZone is Miami-based Russian photographer Samoylova's account of life on the knife-edge of the Southern U.S.: in Florida, where sea levels are rising and hurricanes threaten.

Auto Portraits
Automobiles, trucks and SUVs make their way through Manhattan traffic on a daily basis, clogging the thoroughfares with a constant barrage of noise and pollution. Here Michael Spano concentrates on the person behind the wheel, honing in on facial expressions and upper-body positions trapped within, yet protected by, the rigid structure of the automobile. The drivers appear unaware of the busy metropolis, revealing a segment of American car culture grounded in the urban locale.
Weegee's People
In 1946, a year after the runaway success of Naked City, Weegee published his affectionate but sharp appraisal of the citizens of New York.Weegee's People presents a true cross-section of New Yorkers, from the photographer's cherished street people to the rich dames who frequented the Metropolitan Opera. This facsimile is a painstaking recreation of the original book, and follows the success of other facsimiles printed by Steidl including Moï Ver's Paris (2003) and Jakob Tuggener's Fabrik (2003).
