BRIGHT NIGHTS: Photographs of Another New York
By Tod Seelie

Published by Prestel Publishing
Tod Seelie loves New York, but not the version depicted in postcards. His city is an underground haven for people at society’s edges, people who come alive at night, who make music and art and noise and mess. This startlingly beautiful collection of images captures a gritty culture that belies the city’s glamorous persona. Here are punk bands and bike parties, abandoned spaces and skeezy clubs, junk-filled lots and sketchy streets. Interspersed throughout the book are texts from Seelie’s friends and fellow artists, along with an introduction by Jeff Stark, editor of the iconic alternative events e-mail list Nonsense NYC. The photographs in the book create a love poem to the city that not only doesn’t sleep—it cavorts around at 3:00 am looking for the next adventure.

Surprise Visit
Some folks from the Cultural Arts Center at PDDC stopped by today to see the space, look at the show, and make some drawings.
Hawk Krall’s show really inspired them to draw pictures of buildings and their favorite foods. The artists all seemed to have a good trip and we hope they have a chance to stop by again sometime!
