SUMMARY:Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography presents Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation\, curated by ICP’s creative director David Campany. This exhibition takes a new approach to the story of Atget’s career\, drawing particular attention to the role that Berenice Abbott played in shaping Atget’s posthumous rise in influence. \nAbout Eugène Atget \nEugène Atget (1857-1927) was a French photographer best known for his photographs of Paris and its environs. He supplied studies for painters\, architects\, and stage designers\, while also making formally complex pictures. Atget’s subjects included everything from grand buildings to typical street scenes\, storefronts and workers. His photographs\, often taken in the early hours\, are notable for their diffuse light and wide views that give a sense of enigma and mystery. They also document Paris and its rapid changes; many of the areas Atget photographed were soon to be razed as part of widespread modernization projects. \nAtget drew the admiration of a variety of artists\, most notably Man Ray who even used one of Atget’s photographs on the cover of the magazine La Révolution surréaliste. The photographer Berenice Abbott preserved many of Atget’s prints and negatives. She exhibited his work\, wrote about it\, and for decades championed Atget as a forerunner of modern photography. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/eugene-atget

SUMMARY:Latitudes: Nuits Balnéaires and François-Xavier Gbré
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography presents Latitudes\, an exhibition in partnership with the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. In its current iteration\, Latitudes highlights new work by two laureate-artists from Côte d’Ivoire– Nuits Balnéaires and François-Xavier Gbré. \nAbout Latitudes \nLaunched in 2024\, Latitudes is a Fondation d’entreprise Hermès program developed in partnership with the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris and the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. \nIt broadens the scope of Immersion\, the former French-American photography commission created in 2014 with the same partners\, a cross-residency between France and the United States. \nThe new program supporting contemporary creation takes its name from a geographical concept\, affirming its ambition to shed light on artists from scenes that are still underrepresented on the international stage. In practice\, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès\, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and the ICP select a country from which photographers are invited to submit a project. A jury composed of representatives from the three institutions selects the annual laureate. \nThe chosen photographer receives a grant to produce a new series. The resulting work is exhibited in Paris at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson\, in New York at the ICP\, and finally in the laureate’s home country. \nCôte d’Ivoire is the first country to be honored in the two-year cycle inaugurated in 2024. \nAbout Nuits Balnéaires \nMultidisciplinary artist and poet Nuits Balnéaires was born and raised in Abidjan\, into a family with Akan Agni-Bona and Malinké origins. With intimate connections to both peoples’ traditions\, culture and spirituality\, his work creates a parallel space-time beyond the constraints of geography\, while embracing the universality of oceans as the connective tissue between worlds. \nNuits Balnéaires cultivates powerful ties with the energy of the Gulf of Guinea and  its landscapes\, hence the omnipresence of water in his photographic practice\, films and poetry. Haunted by the duality of life and death\, and the possibility of communication between these states\, his works convey a euphoric sense of tranquillity that feels both classical and contemporary. \nIn 2019\, Nuits Balnéaires settled in Grand-Bassam\, Côte d’Ivoire\, to develop his artistic practice\, drawing on his years as a fashion and conceptual photographer. He secured  a one-year bursary in visual journalism with the World Press Photo Foundation\, and was among the winners of a 2020 call for projects from the Goethe-Institut and the Prince Claus Fund\, which supports cultural and artistic responses to environmental change. Nuits Balnéaires’s work has been exhibited at Art X Lagos\, Paris’s 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair\, FNB Art Johannesburg\, and in numerous exhibitions across Côte  d’Ivoire\, Canada\, the US\, the UK\, France\, the Netherlands and Australia. \nAbout François-Xavier Gbré \nBorn in 1978 in Lille\, France. François-Xavier Gbré lives and works between La Rochelle (France) and Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire). \nSteeped in time and geography\, Gbré’s work draws on the language of architecture as a witness to memory and social change. From colonial remains to landscapes redefined by current events\, Gbré explores territories and revisits History. The constant dialogue with his environment leads him to use different scales and exhibition methods\, whether crafting meticulous installations based on thorough investigations of the land\, or using architecture itself to make photography resonate through a physical relationship with the viewer or the public space. \nHis work has been shown in Paris and Abidjan at the Cécile Fakhoury Gallery\, which represents him\, at the Dakar Biennale in Senegal\, the Venice Biennale in Italy\, in Madagascar\, Nigeria\, the United States\, and various European countries. \nHis works are included\, among others\, in the collections of the Centre Pompidou (Paris\, France)\, the Smithsonian Institution (Washington\, USA)\, Tate Modern (London\, UK)\, the Museum of Modern Art (New York\, USA)\, the Walther Collection (Neu-Ulm\, Germany – New York\, USA)\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art (USA)\, the Collection of the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles (France)\, and the FNAC – Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (France). \nIn 2020\, François-Xavier Gbré was awarded the Louis Roederer Discovery Award at the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles. In 2024\, he becomes the first laureate of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès Latitudes program. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/latitudes \n

SUMMARY:HARD COPY New York (curated by Aaron Stern & David Campany)
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography presents HARD COPY NEW YORK\, an expanded iteration of Aaron Stern’s ongoing project exploring the contemporary use of the photocopied image. Following previous iterations\, including a 2025 show in Los Angeles\, the group exhibition uses the visual language of the copy machine to evoke nostalgia for a time of more deliberate picture making. \nIn our current moment when digital images proliferate\, fewer physical copies of images are made or exhibited. Through this show\, curators David Campany and Aaron Stern aim to reassert photography’s inherent power: its ability to offer a profound\, democratic\, and tangible experience. \nAbout Aaron Stern  \nAaron Stern is a Manhattan-based curator\, artist and author working between the Americas and Europe. His photographs\, books\, writing and curatorial projects have appeared in publications and institutions such as RoseGallery\, Webber Gallery\, WSA\, Magenta Plains\, Dashwood Books\, Perrotin\, Photo Saint Germain\, International Center for Photography\, Paris Photo\, Los Angeles Art Book Fair\, Index Art Fair\, Purple Magazine\, The Paris Review\, Vogue\, The New York Times\, Dazed&Confused\, and Interview Magazine.  \nArtists \nDaniel Arnold \nDavid Black \nJohn Divola \nJerry Hsu \nShaniqwa Jarvis \nAri Marcopoulos \nRyan McGinley \nThomas Ruff \nCollier Schorr \nStephen Shore \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/hard-copy-new-york

SUMMARY:Naima Green: Instead\, I spin fantasies
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography (ICP) is proud to present Instead\, I spin fantasies\, an exhibition by Naima Green that grapples with the concept of pregnancy through constructed self-portraits\, landscapes and still-lifes—blurring the line between documentary and performance. Green probes the conventional expectations and representational tropes of motherhood\, while also creating an expanded space for considering the experience of pregnancy in America. \nCurated by Guest Curator Elisabeth Sherman\, Instead\, I spin fantasies brings together dozens of new works\, including photographs printed using the historical technologies of albumen and lumen printing processes\, along with a site-specific vinyl installation that utilizes the architecture of ICP’s third floor galleries. \nAbout Naima Green  \nNaima Green is an artist and educator who pictures individuals and communities to document their vibrant relationships to place and pleasure. She engages with various photographic forms\, sound\, and experimental film. Throughout her collaborative practice\, Green accesses and prioritizes the nature of intimacy\, safety\, and self-recognition. Often working in lush and watery environments\, she presents windows into multidimensional experiences of seawater and its pathways: beauty\, buoyancy\, overwhelm\, and submersion. Oral and written histories are critical to her process; by synthesizing archival research with outreach and conversation with current sitters\, she frames picture-making as a continuum and her still images as kinetic\, living histories. \nGreen has had solo exhibitions at Astor Weeks\, Baxter St at CCNY\, and Fotografiska\, all NY\, and the Institute of Contemporary Art at VCU\, Richmond\, VA. She has exhibited in group shows at the Getty Research Institute\, University of Texas at Austin\, Mass MoCA\, BRIC\, Studio Museum in Harlem\, Bronx Museum of the Arts\, and Houston Center for Photography\, among others. She has been an artist-in-residence at Fountainhead Arts\, Baxter St at CCNY\, Bronx Museum\, Center for Photography at Woodstock\, MASS MoCA\, Penumbra Foundation\, Pocoapoco\, and Vermont Studio Center. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Barnard College Library\, Decker Library at MICA\, Flaten Art Museum\, Fleet Library at RISD\, The Getty Research Institute\, Hessel Museum of Art\, High Museum of Art\, International Center of Photography Library\, Museum of Modern Art Library\, Hirsch Library at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, National Gallery of Art\, Smart Museum of Art\, Smith College Museum of Art\, and Teachers College\, Columbia University. Green holds a BA from Barnard College\, Columbia University\, an MA from Teachers College\, Columbia University\, and an MFA from ICP-Bard. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/naima-green

SUMMARY:Sergio Larraín: Wanderings
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography presents Sergio Larraín: Wanderings\, an exhibition consisting of prints drawn entirely from the Magnum Photos archive. Curated by Agnès Sire\, former Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Paris\, the exhibition primarily highlights the work Larraín made during the first twenty years of his career\, in cities such as Valparaíso\, Santiago\, Paris and London. \nWanderings provides a new perspective on Larraín’s inventive and humanist photography that for decades has remained little seen and seldom exhibited\, looking at both the material and spiritual drama of rural and urban life while also charting the subtle evolution of Larraín’s style. \n  \nAbout Sergio Larraín  \nSergio Larraín\, born in 1931 in Santiago into a Chilean family rich in art and culture\, studied forestry at University of California\, Berkeley and the University of Michigan. He became a freelance photographer\, worked for O Cruzeiro magazine\, and received a British Council scholarship in 1958. He joined Magnum Photos a year later after meeting Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. Larraín’s notable series include Vagabond Children (1957)\, London (1958–59)\, and Valparaíso (1952–62). In 1963\, he published his first book\, El rectangulo en lamano. Later in life\, he collaborated with Pablo Neruda and focused on transcendental meditation. Larraín passed away in 2012 at his home in Tulahuén\, Chile.  \nAbout Agnes Sire  \nAfter a master in philosophy and esthetics\, Agnès Sire worked at Alexandre Iolas Gallery in Paris before joining the team of the Magnum Photos Paris office. She worked there as artistic director for 20 years and has been co-author of several collective Magnum projects such as Magnum Cinema and Behind the iron curtain. She also handled the publication of various individual photographers’ books like Henri Cartier-Bresson: Mexican note book or Valparaiso and London by Sergio Larraín.

SUMMARY:Michael Kenna–Japan / A Love Story
DESCRIPTION:ICP is excited to host this exhibition sponsored and presented by Nikkei and the Financial Times as part of their 10-year celebrations\, underscoring a shared commitment to the arts and cross-cultural exchange\, and photography’s unique ability to shape how we see the world.  \nMichael Kenna’s journey with Japan spans nearly 40 years—a story of dedication\, devotion\, and wonder. His photographs are quiet meditations\, capturing not just a place\, but a feeling\, a presence. \nMichael has taught me so much—his passion\, his humility\, and the way he shares his vision so generously. His images invite us to see the world differently\, to slow down\, to feel. That is what great photography does—it connects us across time\, cultures\, and emotions. \nWhat I’ve always admired is the way Michael creates space—for the landscape to speak\, and for us to listen. He’s not trying to impress; he’s trying to understand. And in doing so\, he helps us do the same. His photographs carry a sense of stillness\, of care\, of deep respect for the land and the people connected to it. There’s a quiet poetry to it all—rooted in tradition but always reaching toward something universal.  \nThis exhibition\, made possible through the generosity of Nikkei and the Financial Times\, brings that spirit to life. Thanks to their support\, Michael’s work has reached thousands. People have described the experience as moving\, uplifting—something close to visual poetry. The response has been heartfelt. The Japan Society put it best: “Simply beautiful and inspiring—please go and see it with your own eyes.” I couldn’t agree more.  \nPeter Fetterman \nAbout The Artist \nMichael Kenna (he/him) is a British photographer based in the United States\, best known for his black-and-white landscape photographs that capture quiet\, atmospheric moments often made with long exposures at dawn or night. \nIn addition to his personal work\, Michael’s photographs have been exhibited widely in galleries and museums across Europe\, Asia\, and the Americas\, and are held in major public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. He has published numerous monographs and continues to influence generations of photographers with his minimalist and meditative style. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/japan-a-love-story

SUMMARY:Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration
DESCRIPTION:The Great Acceleration\, the first solo institutional exhibition of world renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky’s work in New York City in over twenty years\, reveals the depth of Burtynsky’s investigation into the human alteration of natural landscapes around the world\, showing their present fragility and enduring beauty in equal measure. \nCurated by David Campany\, Creative Director at ICP\, this retrospective exhibition  will present over seventy photographs\, including many of Burtynsky’s landmark images\, some of which have never previously been shown\, along with three ultra high-resolution murals. The exhibition will also include a visual and narrative timeline of Burtynsky’s creative life. Intentionally scheduled to extend through Climate Week NYC in September 2025\, The Great Acceleration will serve not only as an urgent call for action\, but will also give visitors the opportunity to appreciate the sublimity that remains in the landscape\, while also deepening our understanding of the challenges that confront us today. In this way\, The Great Acceleration upholds ICP’s long-standing and core commitment to present concerned photography that can inspire new audiences. \nThe Great Acceleration is an established term used to describe the rapid rise of human impact on our planet according to a range of measures\, among them population growth\, water usage\, transportation\, greenhouse gas emissions\, resource extraction and food production\, each of which Burtynsky has photographed the outward signs of at length and in great detail over the past forty years. From open pit mines across North America to oil derricks in Azerbaijan\, from rice terraces in China to oil bunkering in Nigeria\, Burtynsky has travelled across the world and back again as part of his restless and seemingly inexhaustible drive to discover the ways\, both old and new\, that organized human activity has transformed the natural world. Though already unified by both the precision and formal beauty that Burtynsky deploys to create each photograph\, The Great Acceleration further underscores that\, like their respective subjects\, each project remains fundamentally interconnected. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/edward-burtynsky-great-acceleration

SUMMARY:Sheida Soleimani: Panjereh
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography (ICP) is proud to present Panjereh\, an exhibition by Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani. Panjereh—which means ‘window’ or ‘passageway’ in Farsi—builds on Soleimani’s ongoing Ghostwriter series\, in which she explores her parents’ experiences of political exile and migration as a lens to examine broader systems of geopolitics. Known for her intricate\, studio-based compositions that combine photographs\, props\, live animals and even her own parents in surreal\, magical realist scenes\, Soleimani expands her practice in Panjereh with the debut of a new body of work featuring injured birds. These images draw from her work as a wildlife rehabilitator and founder of Congress of the Birds\, a federally licensed wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island. The exhibition will also include a new site-specific wall drawing created specifically for ICP’s galleries.  \nCurated by Elisabeth Sherman\, Guest Curator\, the exhibition will bring together more than forty photographs\, the vast majority of which have never before been shown in New York. Sherman states\, “In her work\, Soleimani uniquely braids together the complex particularities of her family’s history\, deep research into geopolitics and her inherited passion for care work into a visual language completely her own. The magically inventive spaces she creates allow for complexity in telling these stories\, honoring their richness and continually unfolding nature. It is truly an honor to be presenting her first solo exhibition in New York\, specifically at an institution historically dedicated to photography that engages with the politics of our time.”   \nThe Ghostwriter series takes Soleimani’s family history—specifically that of her parents’ flight from Iran as political refugees following the 1979 revolution—as an overarching conceptual framework that informs her creative process\, from the significance of the objects and family ephemera she uses to the compositions of the photographs themselves. The series carries out a form of ‘ghostwriting’ in the way it both narrates and reconstructs the lives of Soleimani’s parents without utilizing their voices directly. The works focus on their lives in Iran as pro-democracy activists before then being forced to flee the country\, enduring both physical and psychological hardship on their way to eventual resettlement in the United States. Soleimani’s mother was forced to give up being a practicing nurse\, leading her to begin caring for wild birds\, a skill which she would eventually pass along to her daughter.   \nWith their personal emphasis\, the Ghostwriter works present a distinct expression of Soleimani’s longstanding interest in Iranian history and the contemporary geopolitics between the West and the Middle East. Rather than address this history using a strictly documentary approach\, Soleimani instead examines storytelling and memory as the primary means through which these stories are transmitted; the construction of her pictures captures the way that detail and meaning are often obscured\, transformed or difficult to fully grasp. This process is expressed by the degree of visual compression and accumulation of detail that Soleimani’s photographs contain\, as specific passages\, details or textures—wildlife and plants\, architecture and landscape—regularly function as stand-ins and metaphors rather than straightforward description. Soleimani situates artifacts from her parents’ journey against backgrounds made up of imagery pulled from a variety of archival family photographs\, resulting in works that are layered composites of multiple stories\, documenting factual traces of history within newly imagined spaces.  \nA new development within the Ghostwriter series are the Flyways photographs\, which draw attention to the plight of migratory birds\, many of whom are wounded on their long journeys through populated areas. Soleimani’s work as a federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator grew out of a care practice that she learned from her mother and forms part of a larger cultural inheritance that has been passed down to her. Assuming the position of primary characters\, the birds that Soleimani photographs and places within her tableaux provide a metaphor for the many social\, political and environmental obstructions met by people forced into flights of their own.  \nThis new group of analog photographs that Soleimani made of rehabilitated birds presents a unique kind of maximalism despite their small scale while also forgoing the complex layering of reference and imagery typical of the Ghostwriter series. Shot in extreme close-up\, these works render the bodies of birds as intensely detailed and complex worlds unto themselves\, where feathers\, talons and eyes are as richly described as Soleimani’s family history is explored. The acts of care contained within these images highlights the relationship between care and political resistance that has unfolded not only with Soleimani’s own family\, but which remains critically important for our present moment.  \n  \nAbout Sheida Soleimani  \nSheida Soleimani (b. 1990) is an Iranian-American artist\, educator and activist. The daughter of political refugees who escaped Iran in the early 1980s\, Soleimani makes work that excavates the histories of violence linking Iran\, the United States and the Greater SWANA Region. In working across form and medium—especially photography\, sculpture\, collage and film—she often appropriates source images from popular/digital media and resituates them within defamiliarizing tableaux. The composition depends on the question at hand. For example\, how can one do justice to survivor testimony and to the survivors themselves (To Oblivion)? What are the connections between oil\, corruption and human rights abuses among OPEC nations (Medium of Exchange)? How do nations work out reparations deals that often turn the ethics of historical injustice into playing fields for their own economic interests (Reparations Packages)? How may the layering of memory and familial history both report fact and produce a reckoning with the intimate resonances of a geopolitics of violence (Ghostwriter)? In contrast to Western news\, which rarely covers these problems\, Soleimani makes work that persuades spectators to address them directly and effectively.   \nSoleimani’s work is held in permanent collections including the Guggenheim Museum\, Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts\, MIT List Visual Art Center and Kadist Paris. Her work has been recognized internationally in both exhibitions and publications such as The New York Times\, Financial Times\, Art in America\, Interview Magazine\, and many others. Based in Providence\, Rhode Island\, Soleimani is also an Associate Professor of Studio Art at Brandeis University and a federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator.  \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/sheida-soleimani-panjereh

SUMMARY:To Conjure: New Archives in Recent Photography
DESCRIPTION:“Curated by Sara Ickow\, Associate Director of Exhibitions\, Keisha Scarville Guest Curator\, and Elisabeth Sherman\, Senior Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at ICP\, To Conjure: New Archives in Recent Photography brings together the work of seven artists primarily working in photography—Widline Cadet\, Koyoltzintli\, Tarrah Krajnak\, Shala Miller\, Kameelah Janan Rasheed\, Keisha Scarville\, and Sasha Wortzel. The exhibition reimagines what an archive can be or might look like—more than just a means of recuperating the past\, these artists utilize the archive as a form for imagining new futures. \nMoving away from the centrality of the institutional archive\, the artists in To Conjure expand its parameters by engaging with materials—clothing\, instruments\, the landscape and more—beyond photographs and documents alone. By working with a myriad of contemporary materials\, these artists create new histories and material sensibilities.” \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/to-conjure-new-archives-in-recent-photography

SUMMARY:American Job: 1940-2011
DESCRIPTION:“Drawing from works by more than 40 photographers in the ICP collection\, with the addition of exhibition prints from contemporary photographers\, American Job: 1940-2011 highlights the collection’s breadth and contemporary relevance by surveying the photographic response to labor organizing and strike activity\, race and gender discrimination in labor\, organized labor’s role in politics\, labor and activism\, and the intersection of labor and the social changes wrought by the economic restructurings of the twentieth century. This exhibition is guest curated by Makeda Best\, photography historian.and Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Oakland Museum of California. \nOrganized chronologically in five sections\, the exhibition explores the transformation of work in America\, and with it the rise of activism and new forms of solidarity in pursuit of humane working conditions and economic equity. Including over 130 photographs\, along with photobooks and a wide range of ephemera that underscore text and image based storytelling\, American Job: 1940-2011 introduces lesser-known images from the ICP collection\, provides new contexts for celebrated bodies of work\, illustrates the contributions of professional photojournalists and community-based documentarians to the historical record of the twentieth century\, and demonstrates the breadth of ICP’s collection of works from across the country.  \nThis exhibition features works by photographers including Cornell Capa\, Chien-Chi Chang\, Arnold Eagle\, Robert Frank\, Otto Hagel\, Bettye Lane\, Freda Leinwand\, Ken Light\, Danny Lyon\, Susan Meiselas\, Charles Moore\, Barbara Norfleet\, Gordon Parks\, Sophie Rivera\, Accra Shepp\, Eugene Smith\, Dylan Vitone\, Todd Webb\, Dan Weiner\, Bill Wood\, and many more.” \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/american-job-1940-2011

SUMMARY:Weegee: Society of the Spectacle
DESCRIPTION:“The career of photographer Weegee (born Arthur Fellig\, 1899-1968) is often divided into two distinct phases\, one gritty\, the other glamorous. Celebrated for his sensationalist images of crime scenes\, fires\, car crashes\, and the onlookers who witnessed these harrowing events across New York City in the 1930s and ‘40s\, Weegee also spent time in his career documenting the joyful crowds\, premieres\, and celebrities of Hollywood. His documentary images on both coasts gave way to experimental portraits late in his life\, which were distorted using a kaleidoscope and other tricks from his technical toolbox. Weegee: Society of the Spectacle aims to reconcile these two sides of Weegee through an investigation of his focus\, throughout his career\, on a critique of 20th century popular culture and its insatiable appetite for spectacle.  \nWeegee: Society of the Spectacle is curated by Clément Chéroux\, Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson (FHCB)\, Paris\, in collaboration with the Weegee Archive at the International Center of Photography (ICP)\, New York. The exhibition opens at ICP after a run at the FHCB and the Fundación MAPFRE\, Madrid. The exhibition will be accompanied by the publication Weegee: Society of the Spectacle (Thames & Hudson).” \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/weegee-society-of-the-spectacle
