The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) draws from its collection to present the exhibition The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook on view from April 18, 2012, to April 29, 2013.
This installation presents more than 250 works by approximately 90 artists, with a focus on new acquisitions and projects by Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Germaine Krull, Dziga Vertov, Gerhard Rühm, Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Daido Moriyama, Robert Heinecken, Edward Ruscha, Martha Rosler, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Paul Graham, and The Atlas Group/Walid Raad.
Punctuated by key photographic projects, experimental films, and photobooks, The Shaping of New Visions offers a critical reassessment of photography’s role in the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements, and in the development of contemporary artistic practices. The shaping of what came to be known as "new vision" photography in the 1920s bore the obvious influence of "lens-based" and "time-based" works.
Location: Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 11 West 53 Street. New York, NY 10019. USA.
Opening hours : Monday, Wednesday, Thusday, Saturday and Sunday from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Fridays from 10.30am to 8pm.
