“Politics in Play:
Photography
in the 2012 Presidential Race”
November 13, 2012 – December 17, 2012
Opening Night rescheduled:
Tuesday, November

p.m.
Hell, I never
vote for anybody, I always vote against.
- W.C. Fields
Photographers Damon Winter,
Lauren Fleishman, & Ricardo Cases, will exhibit images from the 2012
primaries and presidential race.
Opening night will feature
their assigning editors—Paul Moakley, deputy photo editor at Time, and
Cornelius Schmid, picture editor at The New York Times—leading a discussion
about these images and how magazines decide to shape their campaign
coverage.
“This is a delicious chance to view campaign
photography shot in three extremely different styles," says curator Anna Van
Lenten. "With Paul and Cornelius on hand to take us through Damon’s,
Lauren’s, & Ricardo’s photos, we’ll also get a sense of the story-making
picture editors do to get readers’ attention and to characterize candidates
and supporters.”
