GAIL ALBERT HALABAN
2019-07-08The show will be composed of eleven photographs, selected primarily from her 2018 George Eastman Museum exhibition, many of which have never before been presented by the gallery. It will feature an array of international destinations from Paris to Istanbul, as well as several cities illustrated in Albert Halaban’s newly published book, Italian Views, including Venice, Rome, and Naples.
Out My Window originated in 2007 after Albert Halaban moved to Manhattan. Fascinated by the interpersonal dynamics of urban dwelling and the unspoken social contract between neighbors who observe each other’s domestic lives through their apartment windows yet appear to be strangers in public, she anticipated experiencing the quintessential paradox of life in a densely populated metropolis- that of feeling lonely while constantly surrounded by people.
