In Progress
Exhibition Series with Betsy Kenyon

Baxter Street at the Camera Club of New York and Pioneer Works have partnered to bring three photographers from Baxter Street community to process black-and-white photography in the darkroom at Pioneer Works over the course of one month. The commencement of the residency partnership will result in three “In Progress” exhibitions at Nolan Park 8B on Governors Island.

From July 20 to September 8, the first exhibition in this partnership will highlight the work of photographer Betsy Kenyon. This site-specific exhibition, entitled LightHouse, sheds light on the deep history of Governors Island’s Nolan Park by using its spatial, textural, and historical elements as a catalyst.
