The Edge of Vision: Abstraction in Contemporary Photography

January 19 - March 18, 2012
From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. The Edge of Vision: Abstraction in Contemporary Photography, curated by Lyle Rexer, showcases the work of more than twenty contemporary photographers who base their practice in some form of abstraction. Rexer defines abstraction as ‘a departure from or the eliding of an immediately apprehensible subject.’ Within this broad definition, a host of approaches explore aspects of the photographic experience, including the chemistry of traditional photography, the mediation of lenses, the direct capture of light without a camera, temporal extensions, digital sampling of found images, radical cropping, and various deliberate destabilizations of photographic reference. Exhibition organized by Aperture Foundation.
