New unread copy. 96 pages. Text in English. This is a new book on Bruce Gilden‘s work, shot during a 1981 residency in the city of Syracuse, in Upstate New York. Gilden himself had forgotten the project, and many of the images from it, until happening upon the negatives in late summer, 2018. Gilden spent his time in Syracuse shooting at the sorts of mass gatherings he had been focusing on at the time – state fairs, fetes, picnics and parties – as well as working his way into the homes of the city’s blue-collar residents. He also photographed the local assisted living communities, impressed by what he saw as the distinctly open-minded attitudes toward them, evident in the local population. Gilden stated he was attracted to Syracuse because he heard of a place up there called Light Work, an artist-run photography project directed by Jeffrey Hoone. A couple of friends had done residencies there and all went out one night in New York City, with Jeffrey, and he was invited up. They selected the end of August to early September to go up there because that was the time of the Syracuse State Fair – one of the largest state fairs in the nation. He shot at various fairs around that time. In those days he used to shoot many things – parades, fairs, anywhere there would be a lot of people congregating. The kind of events that offered the most possibilities to get good photographs. He ended up staying in Syracuse for about five weeks. It’s a small town, but it’s not a small town, according to Gilden. There are something like 143,000 people there. It’s a real city. New. SIGNED Bruce Gilden.
