MoMA: New Photography 2008

Organized by Roxana Marcoci, Curator of the Department of Photography, MoMA’s New Photography 2008 exhibition brings together the work of German photographer Josephine Meckseper and South African photographer Mikhael Subotzky. From the website:
Each artist’s works exemplify recent developments in art: the reinvention of documentary photography to picture the diverse conditions of everyday life in South Africa in Subotzky’s case, and the expanding of the medium of photography into a series of artistic operations that expose the thin line between advertising, politics and fashion in Meckseper’s case. Both artists’ endeavors attest to photography’s potential to construct, document, and engage with meaning in the world today.
If you’re in New York, the show is worth stopping in to see. But if you can’t make it, see the above video and the online gallery.
