Omar Mullick: Can't Take It With You
-
- Photo by: Omar Mullick, from Can't Take It With You
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.

Omar I am so proud of you man. Great work by a beautiful human being ! Flo
Wow. These photographs are breathtaking. Will be there in a heartbeat. Looks like Boing Boing covered him too - http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/02/an-interview-with-om.html http://www.boingboing.net/2009/09/29/cant-take-it-with-yo.html
Amazing work. Anticipate a great energy...The images capture such a positive and diverse picture of Muslims in the American Landscape. I'm sure it will stir up some controversy...Inshallah the chatter will clarify and bring people together.
Amazing opening! Truly beautiful and original work. A must see for anyone in NY or who can travel here to see it.
