For our readers in Paris, Martine Barrat’s exhibition “Harlem In My Heart” runs through January 6th, 2008 at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, France. It features photographs from Barrat’s four decades documenting life in Harlem, New York City’s cradle of African-American culture, and marks the first time many of the images have been shown.  (Photo:

And in London, Ira Cohen’s famous mylar images which he created in the late 60's in his loft on the Lower East Side, New York City are on display at the October Gallery through January 26, 2008. Among the artists reflected in his mirror were John McLaughlin, William Burroughs, Jimi Hendrix and Angus Maclise.  A culmination of the photographer’s fascination with the mirror, these photographs come from the very heart of the mirror from the fabled other side.
