Exhibition
New Photography II: National Juried Exhibition
Photography has contributed significantly to the cultural history of the US from the time of its invention as a tool of visualization in the mid-19th century to its establishment as an art form in the early 20th century. Made dynamic by constantly-evolving technologies in image-making, yet in conversation with the historical processes that continue to define its contemporary paradigms, the medium is more relevant than ever as an enlightened tool of critical and artistic inquiry. New Photography II showcases works from across the United States that reveal what is compelling to working photographers today and tackles important questions of representation, truth, materiality and context.
