The spring 2021 exhibition at Galerie Miranda brings together two historical and littleknown bodies of photography that capture urban underground culture in Paris and New York in the late seventies and early eighties.     At the time, Gary Green (b. 1956, USA) and Philippe Chancel (b. 1959, France) were both young photographers, in their first jobs and finding their footing as adults and as artists.

 5 September - 31 October Vernissage Saturday 5 September 17h - 19h Galerie Miranda 21 rue du Château d'Eau, 75010, Paris More information "23 November, II," (2018) Archival pigment print, 30x45 cm, Edition of 10.  "In a quest for a personal vision of masculine beauty, Stevens photographs the bodies of men of different ages with a gaze that is observant, curious, open and sensual yet not sexualized.
