Clic Gallery presents a book signing with photographer Sue Kwon, for her monograph,
Street Level: New York Photographs 1987-2007. The book compiles compiles twenty years of Sue Kwon’s acclaimed documentary photographs of New York’s neighborhoods and people. In the tradition of great urban photographers like Weegee, Helen Levitt, and Danny Lyon, Kwon’s riveting black and white images of New York’s pre-Giuliani street life are authentic and unsentimental. From Chinatown to Coney Island, Kwon’s camera captured the hustlers, rappers, graffiti artists, dancers and shoe-shiners with a clear-eyed precision.
Sue Kwon began her career at The Village Voice, shooting subjects that ranged from runaways to underground Jamaican nightclubs in Queens. Her photographs have since been published in The Source, Vibe, and Paper magazines, and she has become a well-known portrait photographer of hip hop stars, including Notorious B.I.G., the Beastie Boys and the Wu-Tang Clan. Her work has been featured in group shows in New York and Copenhagen and been the subject of solo shows at A Bathing Ape Gallery in Tokyo and Clic Gallery in New York.
