GRIT. TRUUS DE GROOT IN NEW YORK CITY
6 – 9 pm: In 1981, the 21-year-old musician and visual artist Truus de Groot (Plus Instruments/ Nasmak) left Eindhoven for New York City. This exhibition is the first to present the photographs and (super-8) films that she made in her new hometown, where she would live until 1991. She documented her environment with a simple point-and-shoot camera: decades-old neon signs, street vendors, graffiti tags, and ‘bums’ on the street. Her work is voyeuristic and informal, a glimpse into her life in a raw, but an inspiring city. More info
