Being: New Photography 2018 ~ MoMA

 

 

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) opens its doors to the 2018 New Photography exhibition series. This year’s edition is entitled, Being – and asks how photography can capture what it means to be human.

The series, New Photography, began in 1985, and has introduced new work by over 100 artists from around the world. The 17 participating artists in this new edition, Being, are each presenting their work at the Museum for the first time, and “together, they explore how personhood is expressed today, and offer timely perspectives on issues of privacy and exposure; the formation of communities; and gender, heritage, and psychology.”

Being: New Photography 2018, organized by Lucy Gallun, Assistant Curator, Department of Photography, will be on view from March 18 to August 19, 2018 at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 11 West 53rd Street, Floor 3.
