Behind Bars

Very powerful show and subject matter.

Congratulations, Andrew. It's an inspiring body of work.

-Willie (ICO '05)

Unsettling, thought-provoking. Thanks, Kevin.

Congratulations. They are all so powerful, but I can't get the image of the depressed man out of my mind. 

-Kelly

Congratulations! Ditto to the above.

Sabine, Stephanie: Such an inspiring show. Keep it up.

-Alex

I'm very moved, angry, depressed by this exhibit. I don't know how to act, but something must be done. WVCR's "Fancy Brocolli" is one avenue of action. Thank you for giving light to an abominable situation.

-Creek

Thank you, Andrew. An important body of work and an issue that is largely ignored. Poignant. Powerful.

-Raeford

Great work, again, as always.

-Jen/Brian

A thoughtful and provokng exhibit.

-Ursula

was very moved by the intensity of your photos.

-Maeve

Powerful work!

-Stew

Moving and provocative - will pass the word.

Very moving and emotional. This work captures the real and often forgotten humanity behind bars.

-Tommy

Thank you for your caring. I've been incarcerated and I remember thinking at the time, "If only people could see/know what goes on." Thank you.

-Sara

Strong. 

Andrew, so glad to have seen your show. Impressed by your work.

-Sandra

Enjoyed a fascinating conversation with Stephanie. The work is quite compelling.

-John

Powerful exhibit!

-David

Andrew - love the exhibition and looking forwad to running into you again in Carroll Gardens. Love - your student, neighbor and friend.

Abu Ghraib seems less of an anomaly....

What a marvelous contribution - so this is our humanity - tragic!

-Lillian

Wonderful, important work!

I worked as a jail librarian in Seattle many years ago (city and county). This is important: to bring light to their darkness, and shame to a society which promotes and tolerates such horrors. America's failures are shoved into dark corners, where they are treated as refuse. Their existence shows our moral and ethical failures as a society.

Very interesting work ... wish I could get involved in prison reform. You've made a wonderful exhibition and the artisit very thought-provoking photos. Thanks, Cesar.

Very moving. I see the impact of the prison system on children. Devastating.

This was amazing; even for me, who has been doing prison work for nearly 40 years - since Attica. New York has actually come far. Texas not so much.

-Hy

Your work is very touching and honest. Thanking you for bringing your work here to Beacon for free!

-Marisa

Thank you for your educational exhibits. The historical information provided at each one is needed and more than welcome. Continued good wishes for contributing to humankind. We are all one love.
