OWENS IN AMERICA The exhibit “Bill Owens: America” features previously unpublished photographs from Mr. Owens’s work during the 1960s, when he captured turbulent rock concerts and political demonstrations. The show also includes photographs from his four most famous series, “Suburbia,” “Working (I do it for the money),” “Our kind of people,” and “Leisure.” Most of Mr. Owens’s work documents the lives of middle-class Americans, taken in a landscape of McDonald’s patios and cul-de-sacs. Through Saturday, September 24, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., James Cohan Gallery, 533 W. 26th St., between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, 212-714-9500, free.


ALL DRESSED UP Photographs by Phyllis Galembo are on display through Friday at Sepia International Gallery. The exhibit features color photographs taken in Haiti, Nigeria, and Brazil over the last 20 years. Her subjects wear colorful costumes for a variety of celebrations, from a festive Carnaval to a Haitian voodoo ceremony. Ms. Galembo has said, “The way a piece of clothing can transform an ordinary person into someone magical, whether in the theater, in a holy place, or on the street, is utterly fascinating to me.” Through Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Sepia International Gallery, 148 W. 24th St., between Sixth and Seventh avenues, 212-645-9444, free.
