Alexander Gronsky’s The Edge will also be on view. Gronsky is the 2009 Aperture Portfolio Prize winner, this will be his solo show debut in New York. The artist’s photographs of Moscow capture the ambiguity of idyllic-like spots which upon close examination are revealed to be nestled in the midst of urban metropolis. These spaces where city dwellers find solace in nature interact with, but do not seem connected to, their greater contexts.
