NYC Deck documents a multi-year project in which the artist Daniel Newman collected an entire deck of playing cards one-by-one over an extended period of time, on the streets and in the gutters of New York City.
Daniel Newman was born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1978. He graduated from The Cooper Union in 2002 where he studied with Vito Acconci, Jonas Mekas, and Hans Haacke. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad. His work takes many forms including drawing, collage, painting, audio, video, and printmaking. He is also a prolific bookmaker and has produced countless self published zines. In 2010 he was shortlisted for the Art Book of the Moment Award by Art Gallery of York University in Toronto, Canada.
