While You're In New York...

Cooper Hewitt - Designing Peace explores the unique role design can play in pursuing peace. Visitors will encounter a wide range of design responses from around the world that look at ways to create and sustain a more durable peace, and will be encouraged to consider their own agency in designing peace through interactive installations, quiet moments of reflection, and opportunities for practical action.

Fotografiska New York - Hip Hop: Conscious, Unconscious. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the most powerful cultural movement of our generation, hip-hop. Together with Mass Appeal, Fotografiska is creating the definitive destination for celebrating hip-hop’s global impact on visual expression – a traveling exhibition and immersive experience bringing together a community of artists that have documented this cultural phenomenon. The exhibition will premier in January 2023 across two floors of Fotografiska New York and will remain in view through May 2023.

ICP - Organized by renowned writer and curator Helen Molesworth, Face to Face: Portraits of Artists by Tacita Dean, Brigitte Lacombe and Catherine Opie presents portraits of luminaries in the arts by three of the most prominent portraitists of our time.

Between Friends: From the ICP Collection presents seven decades of photographers portraying their friends in snapshots, casual studio portraits, and going about their everyday lives. These images allow us to see intimate moments of collaboration between artists and give us a peek into their friendships and networks. Highlights include portraits of and by well-known figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Berenice Abbott, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Between Friends also calls attention to many women photographers from ICP’s collection, including Lotte Jacobi, Nell Dorr, Consuelo Kanaga, and Barbara Morgan. The stories behind these images are sometimes poignant, funny, sad or uplifting, often bringing to light friendships and connections between artists long forgotten and reminding us all how important friendships can be to the creative process and to an artist’s legacy.

Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art - Images on which to build, 1970s-1990s. Through photographic documentation of activism, education, and media production within trans, queer, and feminist grassroots organizing of the 1970s through the 1990s, Images on which to build reveals the technologies through which influential image cultures were constructed and circulated. The exhibition presents a range of photographic practices to explore the process of learning within alternative schools, workshops, demonstrations, dance clubs, slideshow presentations, correspondences, and community-based archive projects. Featured artists and collectives include: Diana Solís, Joan E. Biren (JEB), Lola Flash, the Lesbian Herstory Archives, ART+Positive and the Sexual Minorities Archives, among others.

Coyote Park: I Love You Like Mirrors Do. Inspired by research on images of intimate pairs in the Museum’s collection, Coyote Park’s new series of photographs explores their own deep bonds and intimate entanglements, reflecting and expanding queer illustrative and photographic histories. Documenting ephemera and energetic connections between past lovers, current partners, and those they hold close, Park aims to capture the unspoken understandings of how they see and are seen. In their photographs, presented alongside rarely-exhibited works from the Museum’s collection, Park envisions love dynamics, lived and represented, as reflective and contingent: we are all mirrored refractions of one another.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - Berenice Abbott’s New York Album, 1929. In January 1929, after eight years in Europe, the American photographer Berenice Abbott (1898–1991) boarded an ocean liner to New York City for what was meant to be a short visit. Upon arrival, she found the city transformed and ripe with photographic potential. “When I saw New York again, and stood in the dirty slush, I felt that here was the thing I had been wanting to do all my life,” she recalled. With a handheld camera, Abbott traversed the city, photographing its skyscrapers, bridges, elevated trains, and neighborhood street life. She pasted these “tiny photographic notes” into a standard black-page album, arranging them by subject and locale.

MoMA - Projects: Ming Smith. For Ming Smith, photography is where the senses and the spirit collide through the prism of light, a process she has compared to “getting that precise moment…getting the feeling…like the blues.”

Projects: Ming Smith offers a critical reintroduction to a photographer who has been living and working in New York since the 1970s. She has inspired a generation of artists engaging the politics and poetics of the photographic image in relation to experiences of Blackness. Through her use of long exposures, Smith dissolves the boundaries between her subjects and their surroundings, creating dreamlike, abstract images led by intuition and honed through repetition.

Museum of the City of New York - The inaugural installation of MCNY’s new photography triennial, New York Now: Home, examines the idea of "home” - from the literal places we dwell to the families or the communities of which we choose to be a part. This vital and complex concept arises in often surprising ways in our urban context, from highly personal experiences to debates over public policy. Featuring the work of 33 lens-based contemporary artists working in and around the city’s five boroughs, this exhibition aims to look at how they have responded to and interpreted these issues.
