"At the new East Houston Street home of Lia Gangitano's Participant
gallery, Alice O'Malley's photographs provide proof that Hujar's
milieu remains defiantly alive, in spite of its many tragic losses.
"Community of Elsewheres" is a selection from O'Malley's "Rare
Orchids," a series of gelatin sliver prints she describes as
"black-and-white studio portraits of artists on the Lower East Side at
the new millennium." The show was curated by Hujar fan Antony Hegarty,
the lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons, whose eerie and poignant
songs include paeans to the possibility of boys growing up to be
beautiful women."
