I went to see the Gail Albert Halaban show last week and was really inspired by the space. The show is called Out My Window. I can’t think of any other space which can be as perfect as Robert Mann Gallery to launching the exhibition. The works shown in the gallery are photography shot in New York City and framed by windows. The works peek at people’s life and private space intimately but also distantly. In the limited frame of window and camera, the artist finds out a safe and comfortable way of looking at the inhabitants and neighbors of the indifferent and isolated New York. The New Yorkers live nearby by may never speak to each other but in exposure reciprocally. There is dramatic gazing and silent conversation exists in the distance created among the viewer and the Manhattan scene. What is interesting to look at is the gallery space itself has two large windows framing the typical New York skyline, and that echo the works incredibly well. It is not simply provide a context for the work, but also creates another layer of the work and extremely change the experience of viewing and engaging with the work.
也写点中文吧。Gail Albert Halaban耶鲁研究生毕业，这个是她第二个个展。作品我挺中意的，不过我更感兴趣的是展览空间，简直是为她这个展定做的！
这张是画廊的窗户，一共两面窗
左边是玻璃上的反射，从这个角度看作品，画廊窗外的影像能很好地呼应作品，真实空间在作品空间里加了一层对应性。
贴几张清楚的 ：
