Join us on September 5 as we celebrate the opening of our new show highlighting the work of Swiss photographer Peter Knapp, co-curated by Japanese Art Director Joji Mita.
About the show:
Peter Knapp was born on June 5th, 1931, in Bäretswil, Switzerland. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, where he was influenced by the thinking and aesthetics of the Bauhaus movement. He learned about the beauty of function and modernity, which he came to expertly demonstrate in his typography, logo work, catalogue and poster design, and scenography. This led him to work, in the 1950s, as art director for the magazine Nouveau Fémina and the Groupe Galeries Lafayette. He subsequently won a competition to design the pavilions for the Brussels World’s Fair in 1956 alongside the Russian designer Slavik. In 1959, the legendary magazine creator Hélène Lazareff recruited Knapp to art direct ELLE, which was then an insurgent, iconoclastic publication on the fashion-magazine scene. Knapp served there until 1966 and then again from 1974 until 1977. During the same years, Knapp also became a photographer in his own right, grafting the Bauhaus tenet of applied art onto the practice of fashion photography in his elegant, expertly composed, and subtly challenging photographs.
Fashion photography, when considered an applied art, has interesting links to older forms of expression such as genre painting in Western Europe by artists like Pieter Bruegel and Johannes Vermeer, and Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints or paintings. In Japan, these things are considered fuzoku, which refers to customs and manners of daily life (including food, clothing, and housing) that are characteristic of a certain period, society, region, or class. And just as ukiyo-e in Japan and genre paintings in Western Europe are now considered critically important art movements, we should also consider applied fashion photography as a new form of art, and Peter Knapp as one of its foundational practitioners. About NowHere
NowHere is a multipurpose hub and studio for New York City-based Japanese creators from across all disciplines.
We exist to help emerging talent explore their maximum potential by providing them with the means to create and showcase their practice and expand their network.
Like the artists we serve, we emigrated to New York, drawn to the city's endlessly inspiring energy.
We hope to give back to the city by facilitating new art from a Japanese perspective, adding to New York's constantly evolving cultural landscape, and offering inspiration back to New York in turn.
In our commitment to supporting art and creativity, we want to ensure that NowHere's impact extends far beyond the confines of a traditional gallery and across cultures. We want people to leave our spaces with inspiration, new friendships, new knowledge, and a feeling of connection to the NowHere community.

漫步於紐約中央公園，彷彿跌入鋼鐵森林的溫柔裂隙。晨光穿透林梢，在櫻花大道鋪開粉白碎錦，風過時花瓣簌簌落肩，摩天樓的稜角在花影裡柔化成朦朧背景音&nbsp;。

長椅上的城市密碼最是動人。指尖撫過冰涼的椅背，銘牌上簡短的文字藏著紐約客的體溫：&quot;給我的妻子卡羅爾，因為她愛中央公園，而我愛她&quot;&mdash;&mdash;生離死別、年少相逢、母與子的羈絆，都在木紋裡凝結成露&nbsp;。當高中生攤開書本笑鬧在綿羊草坪上，當莎士比亞詩篇的朗誦聲從櫻桃山飄向湖面，這座公園便成了情感的共鳴箱，盛滿超越語言的人間敘事&nbsp;。

午後在The Ramble森林區閉目，鳥鳴與溪水聲織成天然白噪音，忽然懂得奧姆斯特德的深意：這340萬平方米的綠肺，原是獻給&quot;疲憊產業工人的手工藝品&quot;，讓無力遠行的人們在此啜飲自然&nbsp;。黃昏的船屋碼頭最是魔幻，木槳劃碎晚霞染紅的湖面，野鴨從曼哈頓倒影中游過，都市的喧囂在此沉入水底，只餘槳聲燈影裡的呼吸&nbsp;。

「當長椅鐫刻的私語與櫻花雨一同落進掌心，方知這混凝土荒原裡的綠洲，原是紐約寫給世界的散文詩。」&nbsp;
