How photographs travel in space and time, from the beginnings in the early 1800s up to the present, is the subject of a new exhibit at the Princeton University Art Museum. The exhibit begins with a "googlegram"--10,000 images from a google search of the words "photo" and "foto", assembled to evoke the image of the earliest known photograph, from 1826.
From a writeup by Linda Arntzenius in the Town Topics: "Attending this exhibition brings fresh perspective to the activity of taking and/or making photographs." More info below.
The Itinerant Languages of Photography Saturday, September 7, 2013 - Sunday, January 19, 2014 at Princeton University Art Museum
This exhibition will examine the movement of photographs, as disembodied images and as physical artifacts, across time and space as well as across the boundaries of media and genres, including visual art, literature, and cinema. It features photographic materials from the National Library and the Instituto Moreira Salles (Rio, Brazil), the private collection Foto Collectania (Barcelona, Spain), the SINAFO (Mexico), and contemporary photographers, some of which have never been exhibited in the States before.
The exhibition is co-curated by professors Gabriela Nouzeilles and Eduardo Cadava.
