"New Photography 2008: Josephine Meckseper and Mikhael Subotzky" Exhibition
The Museum of Modern Art
This event has ended.
"New Photography" is the annual fall showcase of significant recent work in photography. This year's exhibition features the work of Josephine Meckseper (German, b. 1964) and Mikhael Subotzky (South African, b. 1981). In her photographs and signature vitrine displays, Meckseper explores the media's strategy of mixing political news and advertising content. Subotzky's recent body of photographic work, "Beaufort West" (2006-2008), portrays a small desert town in South Africa's Western Cape blighted by unemployment, rampant crime, domestic violence, poverty, and segregation.
