Documenting chic club kids, stylish celebrities, and flamboyant drag queens with ready-in-an-instant Polaroid prints for the past five years, Jeremy Kost has developed an influential following in New York's downtown art world, as well as on the international fashion scene. The subject of solo shows at Washington DC's Conner Contemporary Art (Anyone Other Than Me, through March 13) and New York's National Art Club (The Ladies That Lunch, through March 27), Kost makes grids, collages, and blow-ups with his snaps, capturing the energy of the moment while exposing a walk on the wild side.
