Opening Reception | Small Business: Photographs of Family Stores


Recollecting the family-owned stores of her childhood, Michelle Cheikin photographs independently owned shops in New York City. Her series titled Small Business includes a mixture of environmental portraiture and still-life imagery of artifacts. She provides glimpses into the history of these cultural spaces on the brink of obsolescence due to new technologies, an international economy and local gentrification. Michelle Cheikin is a photographer who lives in Brooklyn. She uses medium-format and large-format film cameras to document the formal qualities of place while revealing the characteristics that denote a moment in time. Her photography has been exhibited at the Queens Museum of Art, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, an En Foco Touring Gallery Exhibition, and other galleries and public venues in New York City. She holds a BA in Sociology from Clark University and an MFA in Photography and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts.

Performance | Kevin James Doyle V. The City of New York: Comedy (in-person and online)


Comedian and storyteller Kevin James Doyle's first show The 30 Year Old Virgin was called "A slick wry comedy special filled with tragicomic intricacies" by The Guardian. His follow up show Loud Blond Bald Kid won Best Solo Comedy at the Frigid Festival. In his newest hour of comedy he is navigating the unforgiving streets of New York City. It is hard enough before you add in the careless landlords, stolen property, scam artists and the ever present empty bank account. Doyle weaves together a funny tale of his unique experience living in New York that is not far off from what every New Yorker has gone through. Full vaccination, valid ID and masks required.
