Documentary practice has raised ethical questions that have been central to debates in photography since the 1970s. American photographer Susan Meiselas has actively participated in these conversations and raised thought-provoking issues, which will be the topic of this afternoon panel discussion moderated by Kristen Lubben, ICP Associate Curator. The discussion will be followed by a reception in the ICP Museum. This program and the exhibition, Susan Meiselas: In History, are made possible by Shell.
Moore in America Photography Contest
June 4–September 30
2694 Drive, Theodore Kazimiroff Boulevard, Bronx
Be a part of Moore in America. Henry Moore wanted his audience to interact with his sculpture, to get up close and experience the works in a variety of light, weather, and seasons. In partnership with the International Center of Photography, The New York Botanical Garden is pleased to host a Photography Contest in celebration of our landmark exhibition Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden.
Help us to capture the magic of Moore's massive works against the splendid backdrop of the Garden. Submit your photographs of Moore in America and enter our contest for a chance to win a prize. From June 4 to September 30, participants may enter one photo for each of the four separate jury selections (July 1, August 1, September 1, and October 1). First-, second-, and third-place prizes will be awarded each month. At the end of the contest, one of the four first-place winners will be awarded the grand prize—the opportunity for their photograph to appear in an advertisement.

The use of photography as a means to document the connections between an individual and a place is a guiding principal for five Russian-born photographers—Sasha Bezzubov, Stanislav Ginzburg, Yola Monakhov, Masha Sha, and Yyuliya Lanina—who now work in New York. Russians have always been noted for their strong and complex ties to the land of their birth. These artists address that legacy as well as their feelings for the new land they call home. In the pieces to be shown, artists will be seen working to find their place in a new world. Each artist's search inspires a new look that opens the viewer's horizon, whether within the specifics of geography or the relationship between the photographer and the subject. The evening will be moderated by Yulia Tikhonova, curator and writer.
December 12–13 | Friday–Saturday | 7:00–9:00 pm | $10/$5 for ICP members
The Times Center, 242 West 41st Street
