In Hanna Liden’s Ghost Town, a wonderful new series of photographs now on view at Maccarone, everything is covered with some kind of downtown detritus. Faces are masked in Have A Nice Day plastic bags, bodies clothed Canal Street Fuck You t-shirts, flowers painted Terrence Koh Black, classical busts etched with graffiti. Even the images of umbrellas and leather jackets, the most austere and abstracts works on view, bulge with hidden goods. There is always beauty to found in your surroundings, even in the knocked-off, rat-trodden world below Houston.
