Aliza Nisenbaum in 'The Times' at FLAG Art Foundation
Aliza Nisenbaumâs portrait of Kayhan, sprawled on the floor surrounded by newspaper pages, is a standout in FLAG Art Foundationâs huge and engrossing group exhibition, âThe Times,â which gathers a range of artwork related to or inspired by the New York Times. Nisenbaumâs portraits of undocumented immigrants offer a portal into lives deliberately lived in private; here, Kayhanâs apparent comfort may not apply beyond these walls. (On view in Chelsea through Aug 11th). Aliza Nisenbaum, Kayhan reading the New York Times (Resistance Begins at Home), oil on linen, 77 x 63 inches, 2017.
