Going out in downtown New York of late, one of the scarier questions you can be asked is “Where?” The options have become, shall we say, limited. It’s less a problem of gatekeeping than geography—the southern regions have been so overrun that spots in FiDi, such as T. J. Byrnes, are hosting miscellaneous art parties.
A recent Friday provided a respite, and an easy answer to the question: the photographer Daniel Arnold’s show—his first major exhibition in the city—at New York Life Gallery, in Chinatown. What a relief not to have to search out downtown, when you know where all of downtown will be.
