Yesterday I saw Ho Tam‘s exhibit “Haircut 100” at Carriage Trade on Grand Street. The exhibit is based on his 2015 book (Ho Tam #7) and focuses on the barbershops of NYC Chinatown, which in his map extends roughly from Delancey to Madison and Baxter to Essex. This makes the gallery location ideal for access to current community members (with approximately 100,000, it is likely the largest concentration of Chinese outside of East Asia), and Tam has usefully posted an exhibit description in Chinese on the door.
