Another Time Another Place
New York City in the 1980s
Photographs by Bethany Eden Jacobson
With essays by Carlo McCormick & Hugo Vitrani

Another Time Another Place photographed between 1980 and 1986, captures an era when art, music, graffiti, performance, and nightlife collided. Moving through streets, clubs, studios, and improvised spaces, Bethany Eden Jacobson documented a community fueled by experimentation, risk, and collective energy, before cell phones, social media, and real estate speculation transformed the city.
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Iggy Pop, Keith Haring, Rammellzee, Futura 2000, and Patti Astor appear alongside the characters and places that gave the city its distinctive edge. More than a record of a vanished urban landscape, the photographs capture the intimacy, spontaneity, and creative freedom of a New York built face-to-face.
