I was passing by the Gana Art Center in Chelsea when I noticed the photographs from outside the door. Even though I had a bunch of galleries to see I decided to take a quick peek. The photographs were by In Sook Kim a contemporary Korean photographer. Quite frankly Kim's work didn't belong there and were a part of a poorly curated group show with no cohesion at all. Despite that they were extremely impressive! You can't really see the kind of labor that must have gone into this photo from the Internet thumbnail. Fantastically narrative, Kim sets up a scene in each room at this apparent hotel on "Saturday Night" as the image is named. Kim's other two images were also aptly expressive of Kim's world view and engages a critical societal discourse in a successful picturesque landscape.
I recommend catching these images if you are in Chelsea so you can see the details! One "★" for the group show and "★★★★" for the photos.
