Where it Falls No. 3, Gelatin silver print, 2012

Where it Falls features newly commissioned and recent work by artist Emma Wilcox, who creates and then photographs rooftop interjections of large-scale, text-based work. Her haunting, enigmatic silver prints, taken primarily within a 5-mile radius of Newark, NJ, suggest multiple narratives, hinting at crime, destruction and violence. The Print Center produced an accompanying publication that includes an essay by noted author Luc Sante. Click here for more information or to purchase the book.


This exhibition is made possible by special project support from the Harpo Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, an anonymous donor, the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance Creative Grant Program made possible by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation, as well as the generous cooperation of Gitterman Gallery, New York.
