Post Media (conceptual photography) @ Gugenheim uptown up till 5/7 open till 8 fri and sat eves.
"Postmedia presents various ways that artists of the time incorporated the photographic into their work as a critical
tool, including photography as a recording device for ephemeral or durational events (as in the work of Jan
Dibbets and Douglas Huebler); as a document of art created outside the gallery environment (Hamish Fulton, Richard Long, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Robert Smithson); as a tool to analyze the seriality of architecture and industry (Dan Graham); as a record of the performative, corporeal gesture (Marina Abramovic, Vito Acconci, and Ana Mendieta); and as a means to examine the relationship between image, text, and meaning (Robert Barry and Joseph Kosuth)."
