Robin Graubard's work, over the past 40 years, has explored and blurred the boundaries between documentary, autobiography, fiction. In the 1980s, Graubard documented aspects of the Lower East Side punk scenes and the nocturnal hustle of a then still dangerous Times Square but also travelled to Eastern Europe, Jamaica and Hawaii. Travelling both East and West on a political and poetical map, Graubard occupies a hard-to-define position in relation to her subjects. There remains a sense of the unresolved at play in her art, a nagging sense that something remains unsaid.
