A New York Minute | Samantha Schein (SUNY Oneonta ’24)
Open Space Gallery
On view: March 19 – April 13, 2024
Reception: Thursday, April 4, 4-6PM
A New York Minute is a solo exhibition by Samantha Schein (SUNY Oneonta ’24) selected from the Gallery’s semesterly Project Open Call that captures the essence of her New York City upbringing and her connection to its vibrant culture. Each photograph is a glimpse into the different layers of urban life where the photographer’s lens channels what the city is about. A cohesive theme emerges as the story unfolds: journey past Times Square and see what else the city has to offer. With the lively and intimate energy of city streets, the photographs weave a story of the heart and soul of NYC. The grainy textures and vivid hues of the 35 mm film evoke something genuine, reflecting the authenticity of the lived experiences captured. Schein invites the audience to take part in the visual poetry of these moments, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own journey. Let the images serve as the beginning of the story of what the city is truly about culture, life, and color, all existing beyond what meets the tourist’s eye.
