SUMMARY:New York at its Core: 400 Years of NYC History
DESCRIPTION:“Framed around the key themes of money\, density\, diversity\, and creativity\, New York City’s history and future come alive in this first-of-its-kind exhibition\, through the stories of innovation\, energy\, struggle\, and the vision of generations of immigrants\, politicians\, tycoons\, dreamers\, master builders\, and ordinary New Yorkers. \nNew York at Its Core captures the human energy that drove New York to become a city like no other\, featuring the city’s “big personalities” – among them\, Alexander Hamilton\, Walt Whitman\, Emma Goldman\, JP Morgan\, Fiorello La Guardia\, Jane Jacobs\, and Jay Z. The stories of lesser-known New York personalities\, like Lenape chieftain Penhawitz and Lower East Side denizen Susie Rocco\, also figure prominently in the exhibition\, as do some of the furred and shelled residents who shaped the city’s economic and daily life – among them\, the pig\, the beaver\, and the oyster. \nThrough almost 450 historic objects and images\, many from the Museum’s rich collection\, as well as contemporary video\, photography\, and interactive digital experiences\, we welcome you to dive deep into the city’s past and create your own visions for its future.” \nhttps://www.mcny.org/nyatitscore

SUMMARY:Hujar: Contact
DESCRIPTION:Hujar:Contact offers an unprecedented look into the life\, times\, and creative evolution of a master photographer. The exhibition features more than 110 contact sheets and 20 enlargements from the Morgan’s Peter Hujar Collection\, which includes over 5\,700 contact sheets from throughout the artist’s career. \nPeter Hujar (1934–1987) began filing contact sheets and assigning them job numbers at age twenty-one. His records make it possible to track his development—from two decades as a studio assistant (1955–67)\, when he pushed himself to try work of every kind\, into the late 1960s and his work as a freelancer in fashion\, music\, and advertising\, through his mature period (1974–87) as a fiercely independent and influential artist in the East Village. \nMany of the contact sheets bear editing marks that indicate ideas about cropping and printing and contextualize the exposures Hujar ultimately decided to enlarge. The intense\, interactive quality of his portrait work comes to life in contact sheets that read as intimate pictorial narratives\, revealing the nature of his attention and the unique personality of each of his subjects. As Hujar matures and struggles\, and as the character of his social world changes from the 1950s through the 1960s\, 1970s\, and 1980s\, his contact sheets tell the nuanced story of a lifetime\, a community\, and an era. \nhttps://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/hujar-contact

SUMMARY:Allen Ginsberg & Vivian Maier: Notes from the Margins
DESCRIPTION:Howard Greenberg Gallery will present Notes from the Margins: Allen Ginsberg and Vivian Maier\, a new exhibition marking the centennial of two singular artists born in 1926\, whose work emerged from the cultural periphery and came to leave a lasting mark on the visual and literary imagination of the 20th century. On view from June 4 through September 12\, 2026\, Notes from the Margins offers a timely reconsideration of two distinct yet unexpectedly resonant artistic legacies. Bringing together Ginsberg’s poetic and photographic sensibility with Maier’s extraordinary street photography\, the exhibition explores how each transformed everyday experience into a powerful record of memory\, observation\, and human presence. \nThe legacies of Allen Ginsberg and Vivian Maier endure. For Ginsberg\, poetry and photography became a vehicle for radical openness – documenting queer identity\, political unrest\, spiritual searching\, and the emotional intensity of postwar America. Maier\, who spent much of her life working as a nanny while privately producing an immense body of photographs\, only discovered by chance after her death\, transformed ordinary city life into an imperishable and deeply human visual archive. Neither artist fit comfortably within institutional frameworks during much of their lives\, yet both produced work that continues to challenge ideas of visibility\, authorship and belonging. \nGinsberg (1926 – 1997) is primarily known as a great American poet\, the figurehead of the Beat Movement (the post-World War ll American literary and social movement centered in New York and San Franciso). But from the early 1950s to about 1964\, he regularly used an inexpensive camera to take snapshots of his now famous friends\, including the writers Jack Kerouac\, William Burroughs\, Gregory Corso\, and Neal Cassady. Almost all are affectionate\, straightforward portraits. Many have a subtly playful spirit\, and some carry Ginsberg’s annotations handwritten on prints. Soon after making these pictures\, Ginsberg lost the camera he’d been using\, and it would be another 20 years before he would return to photography. \nMaier (1926 – 2009) was an American street photographer whose massive\, unseen body of work came to light when it was purchased from an auction in Chicago in 2007. Maier worked in Chicago for most of her life. In her leisure time\, she ventured into the art of photography. Consistently taking photographs over the course of five decades\, she would ultimately leave behind over 100\,000 negatives. While her photographs have compelled viewers around the world since being brought to the public eye\, there is much that remains unknown about the enigmatic woman behind the lens. \nNotes from the Margins features approximately 80 modern and vintage prints\, along with Maier’s experimental film footage and a film of Ginsberg reciting his poem “Howl.” Self-portraits and the urban landscape are a recurring thread through the exhibition. Together\, Ginsberg’s and Maier’s work reveals two singular modes of looking: one public and outspoken\, the other private and elusive. \nEach artist used the camera—and\, in Ginsberg’s case\, language as well—to record fleeting moments\, overlooked people\, and the textures of modern city life. By placing these works in conversation\, the exhibition highlights themes of observation\, self-fashioning\, solitude\, marginality\, and the enduring power of artists who worked beyond conventional expectations of fame\, audience\, and recognition. It considers the margin not simply as a place of absence\, but as a generative space – one where alternative histories\, identities and visual languages take shape. In many ways\, the margin functions as a site of invention. \nNotes from the Margins: Allen Ginsberg and Vivian Maier is part of an extensive series of events happening throughout the year marking the Ginsberg centennial. \nhttps://www.howardgreenberg.com/exhibitions/198-allen-ginsberg-and-vivian-maier-notes-from-the-margins/

SUMMARY:Andrea Hernández Briceño: Fire Becomes Spirit (ICP Incubator Space)
DESCRIPTION:ICP’s Incubator is located on ICP’s ground floor. The space is free and open to the public during café and museum hours.   \nPhotographer and ICP alum Andrea Hernández Briceño has been documenting the indigenous Huöttöja people in the Amazon basin since 2024. Many members of the Huöttöja community feel the pull of the mining industry\, which promises to make them rich but threatens to dilute their culture. Hernández Briceño was invited to document their traditions and ancestral knowledge as a way to preserve them\, but also set herself the goal to avoid being another outsider that left them feeling exploited. She aims to create a body of work that reflects the Huöttöja worldview and spirituality by nurturing a long term relationship with the community and its main goal: to show us that humans are not separate from nature\, but an extension of it.   \nAbout The Artist \nAndrea Hernández Briceño is a Venezuelan journalist\, visual storyteller\, Magnum Foundation fellow\, TEDx speaker and National Geographic explorer based in Caracas. She tells representative stories about gender\, environment and social phenomena that put the dignity of participants in the center of the narrative while using different formats and a perceptive approach to magic. She was awarded the Women Photograph grant in 2024\, three POY Latams (2023 and 2025) and has been shortlisted for the Marilyn Stafford Award twice.  \nHernández Briceño co-founded the all women collectives Ayün Fotógrafas and Solunar. She teaches the Ojo Pelao and MiraVzla free workshops\, making photography education more accessible in her country. She believes in the importance of creating alliances with communities through horizontal practices that combine education\, community building and storytelling initiatives. Her work explores narratives that search for humanity in the space between seemingly opposing ideas as a result of growing up\, documenting and resisting in Venezuela\, a place of deep contradictions.  \nAs part of a team effort she published a book called Mango Season that looks into food insecurity and the resolve to live a dignified life in Venezuela with Raya Editorial and El Archivo. Hernández Briceño collaborates with The Washington Post\, The Guardian\, El País and other international outlets. Her work has been exhibited in New York\, Paris\, Mexico City and Venezuela.  \nAbout the ICP Incubator Space \nICP’s Incubator Space is a new exhibition program designed to highlight the work of emerging photographers who are responding in real time to the world around us. ICP will present a rotating selection of projects by imagemakers experimenting with and pushing boundaries around the documentary tradition. ICP’s Incubator Space is curated by Sara Ickow\, Associate Director of Exhibitions at ICP.  \nHeader image: A light shines upon the tip of the Huöttöja communal home “churuata” in the Amazonas state\, Venezuela\, on April 21\, 2025. In the indigenous Huöttöja people’s worldview\, this branch functions as an antenna connecting the earth with the spiritual realm. The “churuata” is the place where shaman Jattupa tells the stories that conform the Huöttöja way of life\, viewing humans not as separate from nature but as an extension of it. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/icp-incubator-space-andrea-hernandez-brice%C3%B1o-fire-becomes-spirit

SUMMARY:Yves Saint Laurent and Photography
DESCRIPTION:Yves Saint Laurent and Photography explores the powerful relationship Yves Saint Laurent forged between fashion and photography over four decades\, revealing how photography functioned not only as a tool for promotion but also as a creative force that helped define a legacy. Organized in collaboration with the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris and the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent\, it brings together nearly 300 iconic photographs and archival objects. \nFeaturing work by celebrated artists such as Richard Avedon\, Cecil Beaton\, Guy Bourdin\, Robert Doisneau\, Horst P. Horst\, William Klein\, Annie Leibovitz\, Steven Meisel\, Duane Michals\, Helmut Newton\, Irving Penn\, David Seidner\, Andy Warhol\, and others\, the exhibition pairs these photographs with contact sheets\, campaign materials\, magazines\, and personal images. Together\, they reveal how Yves Saint Laurent established a blueprint for the way the fashion world is visualized and understood today. \nCurated by Simon Baker\, Guest Curator and photography historian; Nastasia Alberti\, Deputy Head of Collections and Head Archivist; and Clémentine Cuinet\, Head of Photographic Collections\, both of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. \nAbout Yves Saint Laurent \nYves Mathieu-Saint-Laurent (b. 1936\, Oran\, Algeria) began his career in Paris in 1955 as an assistant to renowned couturier Christian Dior. Following Dior’s sudden death in 1957\, Yves Saint Laurent was appointed artistic director of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris and his designs quickly gained critical acclaim. Dismissed from Dior in 1960 after military service and a subsequent hospitalization for depression\, he founded his own couture house in partnership with Pierre Bergé\, whom he had met in 1958. The first collection was presented in 1962 and the house became known for reinterpreting traditionally masculine garments like pantsuits and trench coats into bold\, feminine looks that redefined the wardrobe of the modern woman.  \nIn 1966\, he launched SAINT LAURENT rive gauche\, a ready-to-wear line with stores opened internationally. Influenced by different cultures\, Yves Saint Laurent’s designs paid tribute to artists including Mondrian\, Picasso and Van Gogh and drew inspiration from faraway places––most notably Marrakech. This prolific output spanned thirty years and was the subject of numerous awards and exhibitions across the globe. Yves Saint Laurent retired and closed the couture house in 2002\, at which point the newly-formed Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent assumed responsibility for advancing and safeguarding his work. Yves Saint Laurent died at his Paris home on June 1\, 2008\, at the age of seventy-one. \nIn 2017\, the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent was re-envisioned with the opening of two museums in Paris and Marrakech. These institutions preserve and celebrate one of the twentieth century’s most defining creative legacies. \nAbout Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris \nThe Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris\, chaired by Madison Cox\, is the first museum dedicated to one of the greatest couturiers of the twentieth century to open in the capital of fashion. It opened its doors on October 3\, 2017\, fifteen years after the closing of the haute couture house and obtained the designation ‘Musée de France.’ It occupies the historic hôtel particulier at 5 Avenue Marceau where for nearly thirty years\, from 1974 to 2002\, Yves Saint Laurent’s creative genius held sway. The museum’s vast collection includes 12\,000 garments\, including 8\,300 haute couture pieces more than 100\,000 graphic artworks\, including 55\,000 fashion sketches by the couturier and 194\,000 photographs comprising of diapositives\, negatives and vintage and modern prints\, as well as an archive of more than 4\,000 magazines and 60\,000 documents\, including correspondence\, audiovisual materials and personal objects\, completing the collection. This ensemble is the result of the pioneering and systematic archival work initiated by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris is temporarily closed for renovations. It is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2027. \nHeader image: Ensemble worn by Edia Vairelli\, Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1982 collection\, 5 Avenue Marceau\, Paris\, January 1982.

SUMMARY:Photobooks USA 2000–25
DESCRIPTION:Photobooks USA 2000–25 explores how the photobook has emerged as a powerful tool for artists to respond to the forces shaping contemporary life in the United States. Over the past 25 years\, this evolution is reflected in the growing number of publications\, a wider range of publishers\, bold experimentation in design\, and greater inclusivity. \nFeaturing over 50 photobooks—from out-of-print titles to more recent landmark publications—the exhibition presents a cross section of creators\, themes\, forms\, and subjects\, examining how artists have used the photobook to present and circulate their work in powerful and innovative ways.  \nRather than defining a canon or focusing on bestselling or award-winning titles\, the exhibition brings together books that explore different aspects of the United States. Taken as a whole\, they reflect the artistic\, social\, cultural\, political\, environmental and economic conversations shaping the twenty-first century. \nCurated by ICP’s Creative Director David Campany\, Associate Director of Exhibitions Sara Ickow\, and Curatorial Assistant malaika newsome. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/photobooks-usa-2000-25

SUMMARY:seeing-eye engine (featuring: Parker Conrad and Guy Grabowsky)
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Milly Cai \nFrisson Gallery presents seeing-eye engine\, a two-person exhibition featuring Parker Conrad and Guy Grabowsky\, marking the artists’ first exhibition at the gallery. Though working in ostensibly distinct mediums\, Conrad in painting and Grabowsky in photography\, both artists share a preoccupation with the image as a constructed\, unstable object rather than a transparent window onto the world. \nGrabowsky’s works\, built through a hybrid of analogue and digital processes including darkroom\, Xerox\, and flatbed scanner\, aim to rupture the moment of eye-camera-lens-subject encounter by exposing the mechanics and materiality of the photographic image itself. Conrad arrives at a parallel rupture from the opposite direction\, sourcing imagery from personal photographs\, online archives\, and text-to-image generation; they use composite digital blueprints as a scaffold for paintings that render speculative\, almost-familiar anatomies like bodies caught between the organic and the mechanical\, the unmediated and the synthetic. \nPlaced together\, the two bodies of work suggest that photography and painting\, however divergent their tools\, are converging on the same set of questions: what happens to an image and to the body or subject it purports to depict once it has passed through multiple layers of technological apparatus? In an image-saturated visual culture where the line between captured and generated\, analogue and algorithmic\, continues to blur\, Parker Conrad and Guy Grabowsky each stage a version of the image on the verge of dissolving into its own process. seeing-eye engine invites viewers to consider not just what these images show\, but what they reveal about how images are produced and reproduced today.

SUMMARY:Gordon Parks: Voices in the Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce Voices in the Mirror\, an exhibition that revisits images by Gordon Parks through the reflections of the people and families he photographed. For the very first time\, the families of Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X\, among others\, have reflected on the photographs Parks made and their enduring power. Marking the 20th anniversary of The Gordon Parks Foundation\, Voices in the Mirror—titled after Parks’ final memoir published in 1990—also looks deeply at the collaborative relationship between Parks\, his subjects and their families as he documented the struggle for equality alongside the perseverance of Black excellence. \nReaffirming the importance of Parks’ legacy in the 21st century\, the exhibition provides fresh insight into his work\, as memory and anecdote animate photographs long-since analyzed\, studied and examined\, revealing levels of detail and depth previously unavailable. Written reflections include those from Kathleen Cleaver (The Black Panthers\, 1970)\, Kate Clark Harris (The Doll Test\, 1947)\, Kyle Johnson (The Learning Tree\, 1969) and Cora Taylor (Segregation in the South\, 1956)\, each direct subjects of Parks’ photographs. Additional reflections have been provided by Lonnie Ali\, widow of Muhammad Ali; Qubilah Shabazz\, daughter of Malcolm X; Gloria Vanderbilt’s son\, CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper and Ingrid Bergman’s daughter\, actress Isabella Rossellini. Contributions have also been made by filmmaker Ava DuVernay; Bryan Stevenson\, Founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative; Alice Walker\, author of The Color Purple (1982)\, and her daughter\, writer and producer Rebecca Walker; Thelma Golden\, Ford Foundation Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem; Deborah Willis\, University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at Tisch School of the Arts\, New York University; artist Hank Willis Thomas; and Ambassador Andrew Young\, who participated in the 1963 March on Washington that Parks photographed. \n“Over the last twenty years\, The Gordon Parks Foundation has built relationships with many of the people that Gordon Parks photographed and got to know personally. We are honored to have so many of their stories brought together in an exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery\, one that will allow us to continue learning from them\, so that the past may continue to inspire us\,” said Peter W. Kunhardt\, Jr.\, Executive Director of The Gordon Parks Foundation. \nIn 1947\, Kate Clark Harris’ parents\, Dr. Kenneth Clark and Dr. Mamie Clark\, were photographed by Parks as they conducted their ‘doll tests’—groundbreaking experiments that revealed the psychological effects of segregation on African American children. The tests were conducted using several dolls\, all identical except for skin color\, that were put before Black children\, aged 3–7\, who were asked to identify which one they preferred. The majority preferred the white doll\, leading Drs. Clark to conclude that ‘prejudice\, discrimination and segregation’ damaged their self-esteem and caused Black children to develop a sense of inferiority. In Doll Test\, Harlem\, New York (1947)\, Parks’ photograph shows a young boy in the midst of the test and pointing at a white doll held next to a black one. Harris remembered these tests and their psychological toll at length\, concluding with the following sentiment: “One of the things that Gordon was so good at is getting beyond the surface and getting the feelings beneath. And so the pictures convey that\, you can’t ignore it—you can’t.” \nAs one of his many projects for the magazine throughout his life\, in the summer of 1956\, Life sent Parks to Alabama to document the daily realities of Black Americans living under Jim Crow laws in the rural South. Eschewing a journalistic approach that focused on the leaders and momentous events of the struggle for civil rights\, Parks’ empathetic approach instead portrayed the common humanity of his fellow Americans going about daily life in unjust circumstances. In At Segregated Drinking Fountain\, Mobile\, Alabama (1956)\, Parks photographed a young girl being helped up to drink from the ‘colored only’ water fountain in front of a general store\, as two women look on. In excerpts of her full remarks\, one of these women\, Cora Taylor\, remembers the moment and the photograph: “I wondered what was going on\, because you didn’t know who to trust and who not to trust. I let my mother know about the photograph\, in case anything went wrong. A few weeks later I saw the picture in Life magazine\, and I just couldn’t believe it.” \nOne of Parks’ most indelible portraits\, Eldridge Cleaver and His Wife\, Kathleen\, Algiers\, Algeria (1970)\, was made while on assignment for Life to report on the Black Panthers and their leaders. After serving a prison term\, Cleaver was on parole when authorities ordered him back to prison because of his involvement in a Panther-police incident. He subsequently fled the country and moved to Algiers\, where Parks met and interviewed him and his wife Kathleen Cleaver\, who reflected on that time and the power of photography\, excerpted here: “This photograph was taken in a very remote\, isolated place. If you saw where we lived\, it was not that historic. That’s the joy of photography—you isolate what’s important.” \nAccompanying these intimate stories are the insights from those who collaborated or worked with Parks during his life and were able to observe both his working methods and his personal character\, such as Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay\, who worked as a publicist for Parks’ 2000 documentary\, Half Past Autumn. Encapsulating the importance and poignancy of Parks’ work\, DuVernay’s words offer a powerful summation of what the chorus of contributors to Voices in the Mirror articulate in their own singular way: “He did not bring elegance to Black life. He captured the elegance that is Black life.” \n\nAbout The Gordon Parks Foundation \nThe Gordon Parks Foundation supports and produces artistic and educational initiatives that advance the legacy and vision of Gordon Parks—recognized as the most significant American photographer of the 20th century\, as well as a writer\, musician and filmmaker\, who used the arts to further “the common search for a better life and a better world.” The Foundation was co-founded in 2006 by Parks with his longtime friend and editor at Life magazine\, Philip B. Kunhardt\, Jr.\, to preserve his creative work and support the next generation of artists advancing social justice. \nThrough exhibitions\, publications and public programs\, organized in collaboration with institutions internationally and at its exhibition space in Pleasantville\, New York\, the Foundation provides access to and supports understanding of\, the work and contributions of Gordon Parks for artists\, scholars\, students and the public. The Foundation’s archive houses Gordon Parks’s photographs\, negatives\, contact sheets\, publications and a selection of ephemera related to his work in photography\, film\, music and writing. The archive also includes collections by related artists. \nDrawing inspiration from the pivotal role of a fellowship Parks received early in his career\, the Foundation’s educational and grant-making initiatives are core to its mission and year-round activities. Through fellowships\, prizes and scholarships\, the Foundation provides vital support to artists\, writers and students—current and future generations of creatives whose work continues his legacy. These initiatives are made possible through The Gordon Parks Arts and Social Justice Fund\, established by the Foundation in 2019.

SUMMARY:Aperture Loves New York (Inaugural Aperture New York opening show)
DESCRIPTION:It is with tremendous joy that I write to share good news: On September 18\, 2026\, Aperture will open the doors to a permanent home at 380 Columbus Avenue in New York City. \nAlong with my brilliant colleagues and our dedicated board of trustees\, we cannot wait to welcome you to this space for “serious photographers and creative people everywhere\,” as our founders envisioned. Situated on the first two floors of a historic building in a bustling neighborhood on the Upper West Side in Manhattan\, Aperture will be a place to gather\, share ideas\, and engage with photography. From a dynamic program in our gallery and bookstore to a lively calendar of talks and events\, we invite neighbors and visitors alike to kindle a curiosity informed by photography. And we’ll even have a photo booth to commemorate your visit! \nAperture Loves New York is our inaugural installation (curated by yours truly)\, and it will highlight iconic NYC photos alongside beloved Aperture books: from landmark titles by Diane Arbus\, Robert Frank\, Nan Goldin\, and Stephen Shore to more recent favorites featuring Justine Kurland\, Deana Lawson\, Tyler Mitchell\, and Coreen Simpson. If you can’t wait to hear more about it\, we will soon post our recent Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering online\, where an esteemed group of colleagues discuss their most cherished selections from the checklist! \nAperture was conceived in 1952 as a quarterly magazine: a unique forum that has incubated ideas and encouraged urgent conversations for more than seven decades. Our new home builds upon our storied publishing legacy\, anchored—then and now—by the conviction that “creative thinking\, significantly expressed in words and photographs\,” offers vital new perspectives about our world and one another. (The title of my quarterly newsletter is a nod to this quote from an early editorial note.) In our magazine\, books\, public programs\, educational initiatives\, and exhibitions\, we have nurtured young talent\, created frameworks for overlooked achievements\, and offered tools to develop visual literacy\, embracing the complexity and plurality at the heart of the medium. \nI joined Aperture five years ago\, when the need—and the potential—for a permanent home was clear\, but just where this would be and how we would get there were less certain. When you stop by in September\, I’d love to share all I have learned about injection grouting (essentially Botox for old buildings)\, the Department of Vertical Transportation (and our LULA lift)\, and acoustics (just wait until you stand beneath our “StarSilent” ceilings). \nEverything you will encounter in the new space has been made possible thanks to the vision of our talented architects—LEVENBETTS—in partnership with Sciame\, our construction managers\, and the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) who have extended valuable financing. We could not be an independent\, nonprofit publisher nor own this home were it not for the extraordinary generosity of our board of trustees\, a community of individuals and foundations\, and critical support from New York City and New York State. The most significant of these gifts are listed here\, and you can still make a difference with a donation of any amount. \nWe envision Aperture’s new home as a place where the power and democratic spirit of photography will inspire a more curious\, creative\, and equitable world. Whether by contributing to our capital campaign or joining as a member (with special access to our opening events!)\, we would deeply appreciate your help at this critical moment. No matter what\, we hope you will visit us at 380 Columbus Avenue come September. \n-Sarah Meister\, Aperture Executive Director \nhttps://aperture.org/editorial/aperture-welcomes-the-public-to-its-new-home-this-september/

SUMMARY:Taking Back Our Space: Photographic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, the West German artist Marianne Wex began a visual survey of gendered body language. She picked up her camera and covertly photographed people in her hometown of Hamburg\, observing how men and women were socialized to inhabit space differently. She also rephotographed pictures from advertisements\, newspapers\, magazines\, film\, television\, and art catalogues\, pasting the images onto boards organized into categories like “standing arms\,” “sitting legs\,” “lying down\,” and “possessive holds.” For Wex\, “these mostly unconscious actions” were “essential parts of our communication.” \nPresenting a robust selection\, the exhibition also brings Wex’s watershed feminist project into dialogue with contemporary artists Nona Faustine\, Martine Gutierrez\, K8 Hardy\, Yuki Kihara\, Joiri Minaya\, Paulina Olowska\, and Wendy Red Star. These contemporary practitioners reappraise the relationship of bodies to public space from Black\, queer\, and 21st-century feminist perspectives. In this context\, the notion of “taking back space” resonates as a reclamation of physical territory\, historical narratives\, and the ability to represent oneself. \nhttps://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5678

SUMMARY:Laia Abril: On Rape and Institutional Failure
DESCRIPTION:In On Rape and Institutional Failure\, an exhibition centered on the second chapter of her ongoing project A History of Misogyny\, Laia Abril examines different forms of violence against women throughout history. \nWeaving together images\, compiled testimonies\, archival materials\, select objects\, and installations with sound and video\, the exhibition investigates how gender-based stereotypes\, coupled with worldwide prejudices and misconceptions\, have contributed to a systemic rape culture that persists today. \nBy focusing on institutions\, Abril aims to avoid narratives of victim-blaming\, instead addressing the on-going problem of social accountability that has allowed offenders and enablers alike to avoid justice. On Rape and Institutional Failure was first exhibited in 2020 in the wake of the initial\, galvanizing allegations against Harvey Weinstein and other powerful men. While #MeToo has led to few sustained consequences and little systemic change\, Abril offers a meaningful opportunity to address the long history of silencing victims and the transgenerational trauma that has developed as a result. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/laia-abril-rape-and-institutional-failure

SUMMARY:New York Now: After Dark
DESCRIPTION:Opening to the public on November 20\, 2026\, New York Now: After Dark is the next iteration of the Museum’s acclaimed triennial series. This edition will explore the vibrant and multifaceted nightlife of New York City through the lens of contemporary photography\, delving into what nightfall means to New Yorkers across the five boroughs. \nOnce the sun sets\, the city transforms into a realm of possibility\, mystery\, and freedom—where inhibitions fade and ambitions expand. For some\, nighttime is defined by work and commerce; for others\, it offers opportunities for leisure\, entertainment\, and social connection. These contrasting worlds intersect to create the distinctive\, electric energy that defines New York City after dark. \nAbout the Triennial \nIn 2023\, the Museum launched the Photography Triennial\, a bold and forward-looking initiative dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary photography. The Triennial amplifies the voices of photographers who are capturing the vibrancy and complexity of New York today—its people\, streetscapes\, cultures\, and contradictions.  \nAbout the Museum’s Photography Collection \nThe Museum of the City of New York’s photography collection is a cornerstone of our mission to document and celebrate the dynamic story of New York City. Spanning from 1840 to the present day\, the collection is housed in a state-of-the-art facility and serves as an unparalleled visual record of the city’s transformation across nearly two centuries.  \nhttps://www.mcny.org/exhibition/new-york-now-after-dark
