Norman Bush Photo Exhibit Portrays Pre-Digital Era Social Media, Artist Conversation to Follow

Temporary installation will be filmed as part of a documentary about the life of  urban street photographer, Norman Bush

The Bush Family Legacy will present a one-day exhibition of the unique  artistry of street photographer, Norman Bush, supported by a conversation about  the artwork's relationship to the culture and politics of the times. Titled  "Post No Bills," the display will feature photographs that transport the  audience through the streets of one of America's most intriguing cities over  more than a half-century.  The atmospherically developed art is created from  photographs of frayed pieces of posted notices and playbills plastered on  buildings throughout New York City. The event is free to the public and will  take place Sunday April 15, 2018 at The Gathering Spot 384 Northyards Blvd. NW,  Bldg. 100. 

Bush's creative photography documents "bill posting" as the social media of  the pre-digital era where recurring social justice themes came to life on city  walls.  His unique style produces an unparalleled multidimensional chronicle  juxtaposing culture, politics and movement in the quintessential American city  and brings the history of those neighborhoods alive for diverse  intergenerational audiences. 

The conversation with Bush will be moderated by prominent artist and  cultural curator, Kevin Sipp. Directed by Ed Dessisso, the documentary is being  produced by Cold Feet Films and TK8ITEZ Productions.
