Lauren Greenfield is featured in the exhibition Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the Sixties, which runs June 29–November 14, 2010, at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the Sixties explores the direction of published photograph essays in the second half of the 20th century. The show focuses on a diverse array of independent photojournalists who have sought to develop their work beyond traditional media outlets, pursuing book-length projects of artistic proportions. Important bodies of work by Leonard Freed, W. Eugene Smith, and Lauren Greenfield, among others, are included. A section of the exhibition is devoted to tracing the origins of the genre, touching on American Civil War photographs, turn-of-the-century activist projects by Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine, Depression-era photography, and the development of a modern photojournalism aesthetic in early illustrated newspapers and picture magazines.

 

CARL de KEYZER

Carl de Keyzer's exhibition Congo (belge) is on display at the FotoMuseum, in Antwerp, through May 5, 2010. For more information please click here.

Congo (belge)
Carl De Keyzer, a Belgian photographer and member of the renowned agency Magnum, created a number of photographs that provide a penetrating picture of the vestiges of Belgium in modern Congo. He followed the route of tourist attractions from the colonial period as described in an old travel guide. The result is a unique series of photographs with historical significance, which is confrontational because it evokes questions about the way in which Belgium fleshed out colonization from the architectural and urban viewpoint, as well as about the causes of the present state of chaos and decay.

On the occasion of this exhibition a book with the same title will be published by Lannoo.
