In his third solo show with the gallery, native New Yorker Marc Yankus presents new work from Call It Sleep, as well as a series of recent photomontage still lifes. The project derives it’s name from Henry Roth’s 1934 critically acclaimed novel, about a young Jewish boy’s coming of age in the slum of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Through Yankus’s photographs, he nostalgically portrays the city’s architecture, moody streets and pulse with his unique personal vision. The opening reception for Marc Yankus’s Call It Sleep will be Thursday, November 3, 6–8pm at ClampArt in New York City, the exhibit will be on view until December 17th.
