Kouros Gallery
This event has ended.
Kouros Gallery presents The Creative Photograph in Archaeology: From the Traveling Photographers of the 19th Century to the Creative Photography of the 20th Century. Under the auspices of The Consulate General of Greece in New York, this unprecedented exhibition is curated by Costis Antoniadis, professor of photography at the Technological Educational Institution of Athens, and organized by the Benaki Museum, Athens, in collaboration with Fairfield University Department of Visual and Performing Arts.The collection includes 76 dramatic black and white framed prints featuring Greek antiquities that have been produced from high resolution scans of the original negatives.The exhibition is divided into five units that span 150 years and visually portray the bold story of the delicate balance between documentation and creative vision in photographs with antiquities as the subject -- from the first photographic attempts of the early travelers in the 19th century through the sophisticated work of the late 20th to early 21st century.
