About This Show

Watchface celebrates the 30th Anniversary of Dixon Place & the launch of the Watchface Archives website. The gallery exhibit showcases two photographers, Mark Babushkin and Ken Schles, who documented the seven-member collective during its seven years together. Schles was a good friend to the group. He was often present & always had his camera. Two acclaimed books of photography by Schles, Invisible City & Night Walk, contain images of Watchface & its environment. Babushkin was introduced to the group through a photo shoot for NY Talk magazine in 1986. Several Watchface shoots for other periodicals followed, along with his promotional shoots for many of their productions. The exhibit also includes many evocative images from the Watchface Archives website by designer Chazz Dean.
