'Us v Them' Photo Show — Opening Night

Join us at Selva for the opening night of Us v Them, a one-week photo exhibition inspired by Ronen Givony’s book of the same name. The show looks back at the under-told, over-told, and rarely seen corners of New York City’s live-music culture in the 2000s and 2010s: empty pools, abandoned warehouses, basement bars, apartment parties, and the beautiful debauchery of a pre-smartphone era ... when a newly open internet helped us find one another and before it kept us from being present. Curated by Ryan Muir with friends old and new, Us v Them brings together photographs from artists who documented that singular moment in New York nightlife, music, and community. Featuring work by Richard Gino Three Minute Rule Are Not Photographs Laura June Kirsch Keith Marlowe Hits From the Pit Ryan Muir Nicky Digital Jackie Roman Tod Seelie Rebecca Smeyne Ebru Yildiz Opening-night music by Jackpot of CREEM Magazine, playing selections appropriate to the era.
