A Different Path

Last year we took a look at Efrain Gonzalez's underground New York, an amazing collection of photos from dark and dirty New York in the 1980s and 1990s. Now you can see his work in a slideshow this Thursday, March 6, at BGSQD on the Lower East Side.



"Images From A Different Path" is a 30-year retrospective and artist discussion, featuring Gonzalez's shots of New York City's underground fetish club scene and social gatherings. These rare photographic images go deep into the golden era of the Meatpacking District's queer and S/M scene, including shots inside the infamous Hellfire Club and at Wigstock.

    I remember walking to a nightclub in the Meat Packing District in the late 1980s. On the way there, I encountered a burly truck driver with his pants around his ankles, screwing a transvestive prostitute over a gargage can. I thought to myself: I LOVE NEW YORK ! haha

    I had wanted to post on your facebook page, but seemingly postings from outside are not allowed there.

    I'm so glad I ran across this post; I haven't seen Efrain in several years, and I'm definitely going to the slide show. I also told a mutual friend about it, and maybe he'll be there as well.
