The 2015 edition of Greater New York will examine key points of connection and intersection between emerging and more established artists across New York, while also exploring aspects of earlier histories of the city itself, and its changing political, social, and architectural fabric.

The 2015 exhibition is co-organized by a team, led by Peter Eleey, Curator and Associate Director of Exhibitions and Programs, MoMA PS1, that includes art historian Douglas Crimp, University of Rochester; Thomas J. Lax, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art, MoMA; and Mia Locks, Assistant Curator, MoMA PS1.

Rosalind Fox Solomon will contribute twelve photographic works to Greater New York, some of her best-known images from Chapalingas, (Steidl, 2003) her largest catalogue to date, as well as images that have never been exhibited.

Following her 2013 exhibition, Portraits in the Time of AIDS: 1988 at Bruce Silverstein Gallery, her latest book, THEM (MACK, 2014) and her inclusion in the This Place project with Thomas Struth, Wendy Ewald, Steven Shore, Frederic Brenner and others, opening at the Brooklyn Museum in February, 2016, Solomon’s work is gaining greater appreciation and recognition. Rosalind Fox Solomon, an American artist based in New York City, is celebrated for her portraits and for her connection to human suffering, ritual, survival and struggle. Her work has been shown in nearly 30 solo exhibitions and 100 group exhibitions, and is in the collections of over 50 museums worldwide. For the past 45 years she has created new, challenging, authentic and personal bodies of work. Her first and primary interest has been photography, while recent projects have incorporated poetry, performance, installation and video components.

Solomon is at work on a fourth book, Got to Go (MACK, 2015) to be released in conjunction with a solo show at Bruce Silverstein Gallery in February 2016. Her monumental and controversial project Portraits in the Time of AIDS displayed at NYU’s Grey Art Gallery in 1988 will be featured in a special exhibition at Paris Photo 2015 in the Salon d’Honneur, a space designed to showcase culturally important and historically significant series in their entirety that benefit from a curated exhibition space in the prestigious Grand Palais. Paris Photo 2015 will take place at the Grand Palais from November 12th through 15th.
