Lori Nix - ‘The City’ @ Clampart, New York 17.11.2013 - 16.11.2013 ClampArt is proud to announce Lori Nix’s second solo show at the gallery, which coincides with the release of her first monograph. Since 2005, Lori Nix has been meticulously at work on her series entitled “The City.” “The City” (2005-2013) imagines indoor, post-apocalyptic, urban scenes—what remains after all the humans are dead and gone. Critic Barbara Pollack writes in her essay for the book: “In Subway (2012) we see an empty rusting subway car, its floor buried in sand. Nix tells me that this particular subway, the B train, is the one that she rides every day out of Brooklyn into Manhattan. Nix had found inspiration for the image at the moment the train emerges from the darkness underground to cross the Manhattan Bridge, revealing the New York skyline. Yet here in the photograph the subway is no longer capable of travel or transporting the artist into a new realm. It is dysfunctional except as a signpost of the end of a civilization, the river it used to cross replaced by a sea of sand dunes.” photoexhibitions.org/photoexhibitions/blog/lori-nix-new-york/
