Put on by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cameraclub.com\/projects\/\">Camera Club<\/a>, which consists of Frank Lebon Tyrone Lebon Edward Quarmby  (and even more collaborators), \u201cOur Beautyfull Future\u201d features an assemblage of Davide\u2019s photos from self-portraits, his documentation of close friends to New York City\u2019s youth culture in the mid 90s taken before he passed away. The son of Francesca Sorrenti, Davide was diagnosed with the chronic illness Thalassemia Major and a drug addiction paired with his illness would ultimately lead to his kidneys failing in 1997 at a young age. The extraordinary circumstances that influenced him created a distinctive body of work unique to a point in time in photographic history. The exhibition closely follows the release of Charlie Curran\u2019s documentary on Davide \u201cSee Know Evil\u201d which examined his life and work. Charlotte Cotton, curator and photography writer, describes his brief and powerful body of work: \u201cSet within the still raw and menacing pre-Giuliani playground of New York in the early to mid 1990s, this precious cache captures the last passionately youthful moment on the cusp of the city\u2019s commodification and sanitization. They are an elegiac and close testimony to a young man\u2019s life, filled with curiosity and unbounded enthusiasm.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><em>Our Beautyfull Future opens Wednesday, June 26th, at 431 E 6th Street in the basement and will be on until July 28th. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-121641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-4-640x426.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"795\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-121643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-2-640x636.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"766\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-121644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2019\/06\/unnamed-640x490.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2019\/06\/121638--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Beautyfull Future will display work from the late, influential photographer <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":121643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10414,2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121638"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=121638"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121658,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121638\/revisions\/121658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/121643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=121638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=121638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=121638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
