The
saturated color photographs
of New Orleans resident Sophie T. Lvoff additionally provide a timely gentrification - themed coda for the show:
Images of corners
of the
city where the old and the new meet, they capture the kind
of dilapidated beauty that can't help but be fleeting.
The Mexico
City artist takes everyday
images of brutality that
saturate the media and uses them to create works on paper that record, in a more methodical fashion, the issues
of violence plaguing the poor, migrants and marginalized communities — a way
of re-sensitizing viewers who might be numb to the daily drumbeat
of bad news.
