AMY ARBUS presents black and white photographs from a new series titled, ‘The Outsiders’. Taken in and around the parks in her New York City neighborhood these riveting new images capture homeless and disenfranchised people. ‘The Outsiders’ began with photographs of the Women’s March in Washington DC and continues to consider the entirety of the arc of social change happening now. Arbus’s new work offers the immediacy of photography’s capabilities to document the moment while reaching deep into the medium’s history and connecting with its Lions. As always, she offers the viewer dazzling technical and formal satisfactions while provoking story, emotion, a sense of place and time and an incomparable relationship between photographer and subject. ‘The Outsiders’ consists of ten new photographs and premiers at this exhibit. –  Schoolhouse Gallery
