Boyle McCauley News is featuring Sydney Lancaster and Marian Switzer's YORK in their July/August issue.
“When we first started working on YORK, I was focused on a single idea about the show: I was interested in these abandoned spaces, and the stories that they could tell,” Switzer explains. “Over the next few months, the work evolved as I realized that YORK was about much more than the space. It touched on housing issues, the preservation of historic buildings, and most importantly our own stereotypes regarding the “type of person” that would reside in the York Hotel. I am hoping that people who see the show take more away from it than just their initial reaction to the images. I hope that, like myself, the work and the ideas it explores are something that they continue to ponder and discuss. The York Hotel was much more than just a building; it was an escape for some, a home for others. A first step or a last resort.”
