Four New International Center of Photography (ICP) Exhibitions
Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina: Photography and Montage After Constructivism
The first American museum presentation of works by Gustav Klutsis and his wife and colleague Valentina Kulagina, Constructivists and pioneering practitioners of political photomontage in the Soviet Union. The exhibition will include the pair�s photographs, graphic and exhibition designs, collages, photomontages, posters, and personal papers from the 1920s through the late 1930s, when Klutsis was executed by the state. Organized by guest curator Margarita Tupitsyn.
Expanding Vision: L�szl� Moholy-Nagy�s Experiments of the 1920s
A selection of fifteen works from the comprehensive collection of the George Eastman House, this exhibition will include examples from all aspects of the artist�s photographic output from the 1920s, including unique photograms and original photomontages, which have not been seen in New York in over twenty years. The exhibition will also showcase the film, Lichtspiel schwarz-weissgrau (Lightplay black-white gray) (1930), the culmination of the artist�s abstract experiments of the previous decade. This is the sixth in the collaborative series New Histories of Photography organized by ICP and the George Eastman House.
The Art of Science
The Art of Science will look at the works of both scientists and artists who are using the newest imaging technologies to illuminate and explain complex molecular processes in the human body. It includes scientists who are using state-of-the-art instruments to make images that are then manipulated into three-dimensional, computer-generated models highlighting the operations of cellular-level structures, and artists who are combining a variety of media�such as photography, sculpture, holography, and computer graphics�to produce brilliant three-dimensional evocations of the way genetics and other biological systems function. This exhibition is the fifth in the series Imaging the Future: The Intersection of Science, Technology, and Photography, and is curated by Carol Squiers.
