DPI Presents: The Object/Photograph: From the Archives of the Department of Photography & Imaging

The exhibition "The Object/Photograph: From the Archives of the Department of Photography & Imaging" presents original photographic prints drawn from the study archive of NYU Tisch's Department of Photography and Imaging. It was assembled by Mark Jenkinson, an associate arts professor in the department, and honors the legacy of Lee D. Witkin, an early adjunct professor and pioneering gallerist whose donations include many of the key works. The show traces photography from its roots in the first documented camera obscura to its power to reveal truths, from evidence for the General Theory of Relativity to a 1965 photograph that helped lead to the Voting Rights Act. Among the treasures rediscovered in drawers are works such as Joel Meyerowitz's dye-transfer print "Street Busker, Paris, France, 1967"; RSVP is required.
