History will be made in Brooklyn this weekend as the New York Photo Festival opens in DUMBO — the first international-level festival of photography to be based in the U.S.
In the debut of this new annual event, four internationally respected curators present their vision of the newest and most important trends in contemporary photography:
Magnum photographer Martin Parr’s “New Typologies” highlights the use of the photographic series as an attempt to bring order to the chaos around us. The New York Times Magazine picture editor Kathy Ryan looks at sculptural and painterly qualities of recent photography in “Chisel”. Lesley A. Martin of the Aperture Foundation reflects on “the replication and reproduction of the photographic image in “The Ubiquitous Image”, focusing on how contemporary artists are using the seemingly limitless cache of disseminated images to create their own work”, and Tim Barber of tinyvices.com presents over 300 images in “Various Photographs” that showcase work from well established to unknown photographers.
In addition to the curated pavilions, the Festival features seminars, portfolio reviews, slide shows, book signings, photographic workshops, live performances and events, and a gallery row. The festival is poised to satisfy any culture cravings whether you’re a professional photographer, an amateur or an appreciator. If you’re in New York this weekend, make sure to head under the bridge and check it out.
