Join author and critic Fred Ritchin for a presentation on his new book, Bending the Frame: Photojournalism, Documentary, and the Citizen. Ritchin argues that the purpose and effectiveness of visual journalism has been called into question in light of the current media and political climates, including the billions of images now available online. Bending the Frame addresses the emerging potentials for visual media to impact society, and the necessity of re-framing this conversation: What kinds of photographic projects are now succeeding? Can there be a photography of peace, not just of war? What is the role for a new metaphotography?
Fred Ritchin is professor and associate chair of the Department of Photography and Imaging at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, and co-directs the Photography and Human Rights Program there. Ritchin has authored two previous books on the future of imaging, including In Our Own Image: The Coming Revolution in Photography (Aperture, 1990, 2000) and After Photography (W. W. Norton, 2008), which has been translated into six languages. He has curated the recent exhibition What Matters Now? at the Aperture Gallery and the forthcoming exhibitions On Violence and Memory, in South Korea, and From the Other Side, in Uruguay.

Holding on so tightly to what I believed was sanity yet consumed by fear of depression and schizophrenia prevented me from being fully present to her reality. She slowly slipped away from the aggressive paranoia of my youth to an almost calming sense of delusion.

LaToya Ruby Frazier: A Haunted Capital
March 22nd-August 11th
Mezzanine Gallery Second Floor
“LaToya Ruby Frazier: A Haunted Capital uses social documentary and portraiture to create a personal visual history of an industrial town’s decline. Through approximately 40 photographic works of her family and their hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Frazier offers an intimate exploration of the effects of deindustrialization on the lives of individuals and communities. Home to one of America’s first steel mills, Braddock now has a population below 2,500 and has been declared a “distressed municipality.”
LaToya will also be speaking as part of the Pratt Photography Lecture Series (PPL) on Wednesday March 27th at 6:30pm.

“Photography writer and historian David Campany will give an illustrated talk about the little-known magazine work of Walker Evans. Working as writer, editor, and designer as well as a photographer, Evans carved out a space for himself in the American press as unlikely as it was extraordinary. Setting his own assignments on everything from Sundays in London and shop displays to graffiti and unemployment, Evans made dozens of poetic and polemical photo-essays.”
