This program focused on the unique cultural and physical landscape of downtown New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s. From candid chronicles of the downtown art and performance scenes to haunting studies of the Lower Manhattan cityscape, the program included works by Gordon Matta-Clark, Michel Auder, Joan Jonas, Shirley Clarke, and Nam June Paik.
