BIG DUST: Photographs by Mark Cohen
Art Department at Parkway Central Library
Ten recent photographs by Philadelphia-based artist Mark Cohen are on display alongside library materials in the Art Department hallway gallery through November 14th, 2024.
BIG DUST is like a warning , a broken window on the city surface. The planet is warming, and the politics are failing. The pictures are a chapter in a longer novel; views presented as black and white photographs taken right off the sidewalk and put into the library’s display cases.
