Also included is a group of photos relating to the event submitted to the gallery by people in the LA area. From the gallery statement: HERE IS NEW YORK invited anyone-amateur or professional-who had images connected to the World Trade Center disaster to make them part of the SoHo exhibition. In that same spirit, Track 16 Gallery is inviting the Los Angeles community to bring images that will be included on a wall titled L.A. RESPONDS. In keeping with HERE IS NEW YORK's democratic and populist nature, which we feel is not only appropriate to what has happened but intrinsic to its understanding, we are setting only the following limitation on submissions: all pictures must relate to the events of 9/11/2001, in the broadest and yet most intimate sense. Track 16 Gallery 2525 Michigan Avenue, C-1 Santa Monica, CA 90404 (310) 264-4678 tel (310) 264-4682 fax More info at: http://www.track16.com/newyork/index.html The show runs from November 10 to December 8, 2001. Sorry for the late posting. I just found out about it and went to see it this afternoon. While the exhibit contains many powerful and moving images, its real strength is in the diversity and number of images that as a group tries to make some visual sense of the event. Highly recommended. Robert - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
