Andrew Moore at Yancey Richardson Gallery

American photographer Andrew Moore’s latest series, Dirt Meridian, zeros in on the 100th meridian, a longitudinal line that has demarcated the start of the American West.  In his haunting photos, Moore considers the area ‘lost in time,’ yet at the center of global forces including climate change, energy exploration and more.  (At Chelsea’s Yancey Richardson Gallery through Feb 15th).

Olivio Barbieri at Yancey Richardson Gallery

Italian artist Olivio Barbieri’s photographs of European mountain ranges are often breath-taking, but he takes something else away in his latest series, namely large sections of the mountain that he substitutes for snow-like areas of white.  Barbieri explains that he’s interested in the hiker’s point of view, including ‘mirages and hallucinations.’  (At Yancey Richardson Gallery’s new 22nd Street location through Nov 2nd).
