Tod Papageorge: American Sports, 1970 or, How We Spent the War in Vietnam at Pace|McGill Gallery. "...Papageorge's ability to distill concise and coherent images from the dense visual weave of passing events - a skill he honed during the late 1960s by photographing nearly every day on the streets of Manhattan - is particularly evident in this body of work. With his wide-angle lens, he not only documents where and how a series of archetypal games was played out, but also reveals their compelling relationship to the world-at-large in images that, subtly but palpably, expose the unsettled American spirit at a critical moment in its history."
