Call it Omar Mullick's 21st-century angle on The Americans. For his first solo show, the photographer hyphenates Robert Frank's landmark observance of the mid-century outsider with intimate, telltale documents of Muslim American life across our land of the free. Collected over seven years and with a title lifted from a Radiohead opening line, this exhibit offers a keen eye into the behind-the-veil aspects of the Muslim community, gracefully capturing madrasahs and halfway houses, children and the elderly. And by stilling the scenes in black and white, Mullick daisy-chains his democratic account to past chronicles of the ever-nebulous American experience.
