Joshua Charow and the Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts

Yukie Ohta, SoHo Memory Project, 21 Jun 2024

Documentary photographer and filmmaker Joshua Charow and his 'Loft Law' project are the subject of an article by Yukie Ohta for the SoHo Memory Project.

 

"Joshua Charow is a kindred spirit of SoHo Memory Project. Like SMP, Charow’s new book Loft Law: The Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts, published by Damiani Books,  tells the stories of artists and their lofts, primarily through 100+ photographs, but also through written narrative and architectural drawings and blueprints. An accompanying series of short films enhance the storytelling. And if any of those entry points doesn’t hook you, there is a gallery show of Charow’s images alongside the work of 11 artists featured in this project on view at the Westwood Gallery curated by James Cavello, though July 13. Such incredibly cool and important work, a must-have-see-hear-visit if there ever was one."
