PHOTOGRAPHING TRUCK DRIVERS’ ELBOWS. An article in the New York Times (March 1, 2012) by Randy Kennedy calls attention to an exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York of photographs and videos by Neil Goldberg. Kennedy quotes Goldberg as saying that he photographs things “we all seem to have agreed are not worth paying attention to.†Of course, I like art that calls attention to things that I see but do not observe. Randy Kennedy’s article is accompanied by photographs of Goldberg’s series on truck drivers’ elbows and images from a series on people in subways being affected by the hair-twirling blasts of air from arriving trains. This post from the Museum website about the exhibit (which is on until May 28) shows an image from Goldberg’s series which “celebrates the trapezoidal piece of sky framed at the top of the subway steps.” It also says that the exhibit includes Ten Minutes with X02180-A (2006), which “focuses on a single lilac bush in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the way passers-by interact with it.”
