What’s On - ‘Photography is Magic’ at Aperture’s Summer Open.

From accidental happenings caught in everyday life to elaborate digital stagings ‘Photography is Magic’ presents contemporary approaches framed in the wonders of the medium.

“These artists actively play with the medium’s heritage—re-animating and re-contextualizing its alchemical properties—to render ideas about its contemporary material value. They are astutely aware of the viewers’ perceptions and trains of thought, grounded in our shared context of an ever-expanding image world.” 

—Charlotte Cotton, curator and writer

Opening this Thursday, July 14: 6:00–8:00 p.m. 547 West 27th Street, 4th Floor, New York
