At the end of September I was able to check out Alife’s new art gallery that opened on Rivington St. on the Lower East Side. It’s right next door to their new store, A.R.C. Sports Shop, which is directly across the street from their original store.
The inaugural opening of the gallery was a slick display of a timespan of photos from downtown photography legend Clatyon Patterson.
This was my favorite piece:
All great stuff. Be sure to check out the recent release of the documentary, Captured, on Clayton Patterson. The film follows how he witnessed the Lower East Side riots during the eighties crack epidemic and pre-9/11 gentrification of the neighborhood. Really great film.
