TIMOTHY BRINER
The nineteen black-and-white photographs in Briner’s début, “Boonville,” appear to have been taken in and around the same small American town—a place where deer pelts are draped across the hood of a Dodge and a cross strung with Christmas lights hangs above the garage. But Briner’s Boonville is a composite of six towns with that name spread from New York to California. Because the photographer spent time in each of these places, his work, though clearly opinionated, never feels condescending or reductive. Portraits of the wrestling squad and of a young boy preparing to milk cows alternate with landscapes (several featuring hunters) in an exhibition that begs to be expanded into a book. Through Feb. 27. (Cooney, 511 W. 25th St. 212-255-8158.)
