i miss the old new york




if you reminisce about the vibrant past of new york
we have some great shows to tie you over. clic gallery
will be holding two must-see exhibitions at their soho
locations this month.

firstly at their 255 centre st. space (just below broome st.)
is "store front" a collection of snaps by james and karla
murray showing butcher shops, bakeries, dive bars,
grocery stores and more in all their original glory.
anyone who vaguely appreciates the beauty of old signage
will be tickled pink at this collection of images.

"store front" will be on show now through september 27th

their second and equally evocative exhibition will be showing
in their 424 broome st. space. "only in new york" showcases
20 years of photographer sue kwon's documentary of new york
neighbourhoods and people. her black and white images conjure
up memories of a pre-giuliani nyc and make a great partnership
with the previously mentioned works.

"only in new york" will be on show september 7th through october
4th
