The Indie Photobook Library’s seminal traveling exhibition, curated by Larissa Leclair and Darius Himes, opened at Brooklyn's Photoville, after stops in San Francisco and DC. “A Survey of Documentary Styles in early 21st century Photobooks” draws from the iPL collection and features 70 photobooks, along with a selection of photographs from the books. The exhibition looks at the “documentary tradition” through the lens of a 21st century, global photographic community in which the lines between journalism, art and the long-term documentary project have blurred, morphed and continue to feed off of each other.

The books selected for this exhibition present a range of subject matter, each coupled with a particular visual language drawn from a pool of diversity. There are books that speak a more traditional documentary language, while there are those that explicitly critique that very same tradition; there are diaristic books and titles that overlay a typological structure; other books rely primarily on found and vernacular imagery; and there are many books that borrow heavily from an art-photography storehouse. The goal of this exhibition is to survey the field before us and to foreground questions of authorship, voice, style and content.

THE FENCE

A Summer Long Special Boston Outdoor Exhibition

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

now to Sept 1, 2013

United Photo Industries, Photo District News (PDN), Brooklyn Bridge Park & Flash Forward Festival have joined forces to curate and produce THE FENCE - the annual summer-long outdoor photo exhibition that in its first year, drew more than 1 million visitors during its 10 week run at Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2012.

The work featured on THE FENCE in 2012 exceeded every expectation, captivating audiences of all ages, and this year THE FENCE has expanded! In addition to our 1000ft long photographic installation on display in Brooklyn Bridge Park, we partnered with Boston's Flash Forward Festival, in producing a special curated version of THE FENCE, now displayed along the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. Photographers of all levels were invited to submit their best image series that capture the essence of "community" and fit into one more of the competition categories: Home, Streets, People, Creatures, Play.
