BRUCE GILDEN: THE CIRCUIT
March 10 to May 6, 2023
Opening Thursday, March 9
“In the spring of 2020, when the Covid forced the world to isolate itself, Bruce Gilden is stuck at home in New York State, without an assistant, with his Leica, his wife and his car. He who adores movement, feels imprisoned and has the feeling of suffocating. “Bruce was starting to lose the ball, explains his wife Sophie. At the end of May, after the death of George Floyd, the news came to his rescue. Massive protests erupted across the city and, although Gilden “hates politics”, this angry mob offered him some perspective. This is how Bruce and Sophie Gilden find themselves in the middle of a crowd of bikers, mostly black, gathered for a “ride out prayer” in tribute to George Floyd. These bikers are part of a community that Gilden does not yet know: The Circuit.”
