Another great show tonight.

Ryan McGinley
Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
18 March – 17 April 2010

Team Gallery 83 Grand Street NY NY 10013
Team is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by the New York-based photographer Ryan McGinley. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere will run from the 18th of March through the 17th of April 2010. Team Gallery is located at 83 Grand Street, cross streets Wooster and Greene, on the ground floor.

For his latest exhibition, Ryan McGinley has shifted his focus away from constructing a youthful sublime within the boundless American landscape and has concentrated instead on creating imagery within the confines of his New York studio. The result is a surprisingly restrained, open-ended study of black and white portraiture. Here we see McGinley not as a chronicler of youthful adventure, but as an engine for an almost scientific cataloging of a kind of emotional optimism.

Jason Polan’s ambitious challenge of drawing every person in New York seems to be working out.  His blog is now filled with pages of great sketches, from celebrities and friends to random strangers in Taco Bell. You can even get drawn too. Just email him “a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes.”  Sound good?  Looks great.  More info here
