Weekend Events

“Brace For Impact: the Aftermath of Flight 1549”
Front Room Gallery is pleased to present Stephen Mallon’s “Brace For Impact: the aftermath of flight 1549. It is very difficult to encapsulate the events that happened during and following the crash of flight 1549, but Stephen Mallon’s large-scale photographs, taken during the salvage of the fuselage and engine, impart a physicality and scale to these incomprehensible occurrences. Mallon’s photos present us with the aftermath of this disaster and remind us how it was averted despite nearly unbeatable odds through the mastery and bravery of the pilot and crew. Friday, January 15. 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Free. 22 West 22nd Street, 2nd Floor, Calumet Photo.
