Photography is one of my favorite art forms and there are two exhibits that I am really excited about seeing this summer, one in LA at the Getty and the other at the SB Museum of Art.
Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography Since the Sixties
June 29 - November 14, 2010
The Getty
"Engaged Observers looks in depth at projects by a selection of the most vital photographers who have contributed to the development of this approach. Passionately committed to their subjects, they have authored evocative bodies of work that are often published extensively as books and transcend the realm of traditional photojournalism."
Chaotic Harmony: Contemporary Korean Photography
July 3 - September 19, 2010
Santa Barbara Museum of Art
"The first major exhibition in the United States of photographs made by contemporary Korean artists presently living in Korea, Chaotic Harmony: Contemporary Korean Photography opens a window to the dynamic photographic scene in the Republic of Korea, known in the West as South Korea. Bringing together work by 40 contemporary photographers, this presentation of 42 large-scale images surveys the range of contemporary issues through the themes of land and sea; urbanization and globalization; family, friends, and memory; identity: cultural and personal; and anxiety."
It sounds like a lot of great pieces, photographers, perspectives, and with the Getty being free and SBMA having free Sundays, budget friendly.
Are you looking forward to visiting any exhibits this summer?
