Let Go: Moment in Movement captures the serendipitous photographic journey of James Starkman as he followed a group of parkour practitioners (known as traceurs) training in various urban environments in and around New York City. Parkour (pronounced “par-core”), also known as l’art du déplacement (the art of displacement) or freerunning, is a physical discipline that originated in France; parkour involves training to overcome any obstacle within one’s path by adapting one’s movements to the environment. What began for the artist as an exploration of the visual elements of parkour movement deepened into a personal inquiry into the emotional and spiritual resonance of the images he spontaneously caught on film. The result is this arresting collection of “moments” in movement, simultaneously revealing aspects of both artist and subjects as they “let go.” This is the artist’s first solo exhibition.
165 West 65 Street, 2nd Floor New York City
(Enter Through The Walter Reade Theater)
Reception for the artist to be held February 4, 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m.
