For its inaugural exhibition, Silverstein Photography / 20 is pleased to introduce the work of Italian-born artist Maria Antonietta Mameli.
For her exhibition, Mameli (b. 1969) will show works from her recent series, Human Observations, Red Bags and Human Observations, Red Leashes. From the vantage point of the Manhattan Bridge, Mameli photographs the throngs of shoppers in New York’s Chinatown carrying the neighborhood’s signature red plastic bags, as well as dog-owners holding red leashes. These works call attention to the overlooked but recurrent possessions of her pedestrian subjects.
