In admiration of Ori Gersht’s film and video work, I rushed Nate past the photos on view in this exhibition at CRG Gallery to watch Evaders… not once but twice. We could have watched it more! Gersht uses the landscape to address complex issues of place, memory, and history, creating a poignant and romantic narrative. Take time to watch the entire 15-minute film and be sure to check out the photographs which some viewers have mistaken for paintings! If you would like some information, read the press release at the desk and leave with your own personal understanding of the journey.
Ori Gersht, Evaders, CRG Gallery, 535 West 22nd Street
