Moveable Feast

If you haven't had a chance to see the Moveable Feast: Fresh Produce and the NYC Green Cart Program exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York you should check it out. It's a really nice show of work by five photographers commissioned by Aperture to photograph the NYC Department of Health program that provides underserved communities with access to fresh fruits and vegetables via hundreds of independently owned, mobile produce stands known as Green Carts. The exhibition also includes a nice selection of historical photographs of street vendors in New York City form the 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition features new photographs by LaToya Ruby Frazier, Thomas Holton, Gabriele Stabile, Will Steacy, and Charles Lane Press' very own Shen Wei. Shen did a beautiful job translating this photographic challenge into something really really beautiful. If you have not seen his stunning new book Chinese Sentiment, order your copy now - they are going fast.
