Opening this week at the International Center of Photography in New York City - Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life. Explore over 60 years in photographs, films, books, and assorted archival documents that examine the apartheid system in South Africa. This exhibition makes a connection between the understanding of photography, and the power of the documentary form.
Gregg Segal’s latest work will be shown at George Mason University’s Mason Hall atrium Gallery until October 1st. State of the Union is a juxtaposition of two contrastive eras: an idealized Civil War embodied by period re-enactors vs. the commercialism of contemporary life. The portraits in the series were taken on the actual sites of specific battles in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
Parks and Passages: Inspirations from Berlin for Washington’s Dupont Underground will be opening this Thursday, September 13, 2012 at the Goethe-Institute Washington FotoGalerie. The exhibit is an investigation of relics, ruins and reconstruction in the capital cities of Berlin and Washington, DC.
