SEAPORT MUSEUM NEW YORK
12 Fulton St., at Water St. (212-748-8600)—“Widely Different: New York City Panoramas by Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao and Sylvia Plachy.” In an exhibition organized by Elisabeth Biondi, The New Yorker’s former visuals editor, Liao, a whiz at digital compositing, shows views of Coney Island and Long Island City’s graffiti wonderland, 5 Pointz, but tops himself with a terrific image of the south side of Forty-second Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues that’s more than sixteen feet long. Seamlessly pieced together from hundreds of pictures made over the course of four hours last summer, it’s one of those previously impossible photographs that includes astonishing detail as well as the passage of time, with dusk in the west giving way to black night skies in the east. Plachy, a regular contributor to the magazine, confirms her position as one of the city’s most compassionate observers with eccentric, vivacious photographs—taken everywhere from the top of the Empire State Building to the Central Park skate circle.
