Cuchifritos

www.artistsai.org/cuchifritos
This is a small gallery inside the Essex Market (120 Essex St between Delancey & Rivington).
(The Essex Market is a hidden gem itself)

Currently at Cuchifritos they have a photographic exhibition of Stephanie Diamond’s work. Her archive of 80,000 photographs is within the space – a small selection on display, accompanied by shelves holding the rest of her collection in boxes and albums. I found it particularly interesting that she uses a fully automatic compact Leica camera and gets a professional service to develop her photos.
I particularly enjoyed the photos of food that the artist was allergic to and also the ‘No Tocar’ piece taken in a mall of a tacky painting featuring Jesus placing his hand on a child resting in bed.
