Irina Rozovsky and the Democracy of Prospect Park | Aperture Conversations

On April 8, 2021, Aperture and Rockefeller Center, in collaboration with Parsons School of Design and MACK, hosted an online artist talk with Irina Rozovsky where she discussed her project In Plain Air (2011­­–20), featured in the “New York” issue of Aperture magazine. For ten years, Rozovsky has been making lyrical portraits of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park—both of the landscape and its visitors—perfectly capturing the democratic nature of the space. From images of women fishing to family barbeques to young couples in the grass, In Plain Air is a lover letter to Prospect Park and all those who spend time there. Programming for Aperture’s “New York” issue is made possible by and in collaboration with Rockefeller Center. Additional support for this program is provided by MPB.com.
