The Center Will Not Hold: The Other New York: Regional Reflections

by Laura Hoptman

Afterimage, Oct. 1987, v. 15, no. 3, p. 18

A review and critique of the 1986 show The Other New York: Regional Reflections , a collection of works about the New York Region. Hoptman feels the theme of the show is contrived, and that the works are more successful without this title, this quest for 'New York-ness' tacked on to them.
