"Eminent Domain: Contemporary Photography and the City" Exhibition
New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
This event has ended.
The exhibition "Eminent Domain: Contemporary Photography and the City" features the work of five contemporary New York–based photographers drawn primarily from new acquisitions in the Photography Collection. Turning on the nature of photography itself (which always complicates the relationship between private and public property), the works in the exhibition intersect and resonate with current concerns about the reorganization of urban space, and its public use, in New York City. A publication accompanying the exhibition will include written meditations on these themes by the Bronx-born artist Glenn Ligon, who is known for his multi-media explorations of critical issues in contemporary culture.
