What is a Photograph at ICP

The International Center of Photography not only has an incredible educational program they have a small gem of a museum across the street from the school on 6th Avenue and 43rd Street.  I went with Jessica to see the exhibit that is up now called What is A Photograph.  It will be up until May 4th.  I highly recommend going.  (photo by David Benjamin Sherry)

Photography continues to change as everyone is a photographer now.  Instagram, cameras in our phones, instant digital images, etc.  Yet a new generation of artists are using photography as the medium to create really interesting pieces of work that use technology, materials and light.  (light box by Owen Kydd)

The curator put together a group of artists that are doing just that.  I thought the exhibit was really interesting.  There were several younger artists as well as more mature artists in the show.  My photos are terrible because you weren't supposed to take any pics.  I broke the rules.  The book on the show is excellent too.  (photo by Matthew Brandt)

Gerhard Richter, who might be my favorite artist ever, has also manipulated photography.

Travess Smalley pieces are cameraless using scanners and digital images to create his work.  

These photos are not doing the works justice.  The artists represented are below.  Go see the show
