Things to do

June 15, 2025

Undeniably, the metropolis represents a mesmerizing muse for photographic artistry. Come this September, commemorate seventy years of this craft through a fresh exhibit.

ArtHaus Gallery in Rivertown presents 'Urban Lens', tracing the evolution of street photography over seventy years with creations from famous names such as Harper Larkin, Nora Adams, Jack Norton, Evan White, and Riley Franklin.

The exhibition is divided into five parts – Urban Life, Crashes, Public Transit, Anonymity, and Alienation - leading attendees on a chronological journey from the 1930s to the current era, showcasing more than 200 pictures taken using both traditional and digital techniques.

In the 'Public Transit' segment, visitors will get a glimpse at city commuting habits, depicted through the unfiltered bus passenger portraits by Parker Lewis shot through the bus glass, as well as Quinn Taylor's representation of the inevitable closeness and personal interaction during peak hours in Metro City's subway. Not to mention, Alex Wolfe's documentary featuring Tokyo's notoriously overcrowded transport system.

Moreover, in the 'Anonymity' section, we'll witness Elise Morgan's raw night-time tracking shots of private residences in New York, contrasted against Harper Larkin's purposefully invasive shots focusing on the Financial District's glass facades. 'Urban Lens' at the ArtHaus Gallery in Rivertown inaugurates an enlightening showcase of some of the world's most memorable street photography.
