| CHARLIE AHEARN WILD STYLE THE SAMPLER May 31–July 15, 2007 |
 |
In 1982, Charlie Ahearn wrote, directed, and produced a small, independent movie that released a year later, taking the world by storm as it screened in Cannes, Tokyo, and Times Square. Wild Style, the first film to unite the underground urban art forms of nascent hip hop culture—DJing, MCing, b-boying, and graff writing—was filmed on location in the South Bronx without permits or pretensions. Some twenty-five years after it’s release, Wild Style is truly a classic, having inspired countless artists, musicians, and writers with unforgettable scenes starring the era’s most memorable personalities. |

| JEREMIAH A ROMANTIC VISION April 12–May 26, 2007 |
 |
Jeremiah’s expressive watercolors not only act as an archive of interior design for the second half of the 20th Century, but also provide a glimpse into the artist’s unique ability to infuse a depiction of domestic space with sense of drama and emotion second only to being there. In addition to making art based on the interiors, Jeremiah also painted commissioned studies for rooms-to-be, creating the beautiful plans on which the rooms themselves would be based. Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision is a sumptuous retrospective of Jeremiah’s career. |

In Close Relations, noted photographer Henry Horenstein presents his earliest photographs, made from 1970 to 1973: a collection of portraits of family and friends, landscapes, and period imagery. These photographs describe a time familiar to everyone, when one moves from adolescence to adulthood—remaining a part of a family while beginning to create a network of one’s own. |
