What a party. On a summer evening under the Brooklyn Bridge, more than a hundred and fifty people packed the gallery on opening night--so many the crowd spilled across the cobblestone street outside. You'd have been excused for mistaking the place as the hot new bar on the block--albeit a bar popular with Tibetans. Of course the photos stole the show: poetic, informed and thought-provoking, framed and unframed, scattered among five rooms. In the front, Jesse Pesta's surreal shot of a mechanical penguin in front of the Potala faced off with Jennifer MacFarlane's haunting image of an infant swaddled in quilts in a refugee center. In a darkened back room, Teru Kuwayama's powerful oversize documentary work towered above party-goers till well after 10 p.m. --Abigail Pesta Articles Editor Glamour photos by Simon Koo and Kate Attardo opening night party
