New York's
International Centre of Photography celebrates its third Triennial of Photography and Video with an opening soirée for members on October 1st. The Triennial will mark the closing cycle of ICP's 2009 Year of Fashion. "These artists variously explore fashion--whether in everyday dress,
haute couture, street fashion, or uniforms--as a celebration of
individuality, personal identity, and self-expression, and as cultural,
religious, social, and political statements." One of my personal faves,
Hank Willis Thomas, will be among the great on show.
Hank Willis Thomas' work is fantastic. His contribution to the ICP show is impressive. I just met him at the gallery a couple of weeks ago with his mother, Deborah Willis.
I also liked the work by Mickalene Thomas, Nathalie Djurberg, Jacqueline Hassink, and Martha Rosler. (Roberta Smith smeared Rosler in her review for "The Times," but I love her photograph in the exhibition.)
Good post mate!! Keep 'em flowing!
