Thursday November 3, 2011 - I went down to Dance New Amsterdam at lunchtime today where photographer Matt Murphy and three of his friendly assistants were hanging and lighting the photographs which make up Matt's series entitled DISPLACED. These images show dancers in stillness, usually prone on the floor. The exhibit will be shown at Dance New Amsterdam, 280 Broadway (enter on Chambers Street) from November 4th thru December 10th.
