OCTOBER 4, 2009 – MARCH 1, 2010
The first of a new, multi–year series of exhibitions that look at contemporary culture as a "living archive," Urban Archives: That Was Then This Is Now draws primarily from the personal collections of a number of artists that have been working in and on the Bronx since the late 1970s. In their collections, the testimonies of long-time residents and occasional visitors coexist in the form of mementos, documentation, artwork and other sort of cultural artifacts.
