THIS TRAIN IS BOUND FOR GLORY
We came to New York in part for the opening of Justine Kurland’s show. Justine spent two years travelling and photographing trains, train hoppers and the American West as mythologized in folk songs and literature. Many of her landscapes are also featured in the new issue of Hobo Magazine wherein she writes: “The photographs I make are narratives gleaned from America’s dream of itself, a collective identity based on a firm faith in manifest destiny and our inalienable rights. These images are portals into the not quite real, not quite fictional realm of the American frontier. In this space I create documents of disappearance - disappearing landscapes, disappearing cultures, disappearing possibilities.” At the Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery until November 14th.

Many, many men have been as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal relationship. It isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry. — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye. Photo Jeff Petry
