Aperture is pleased present another limited-edition photograph from Jonathan Torgovnik’s Intended Consequences:Rwandan Childern Born of Rape project. Last year we released the portrait of Jean-Paul, and we are happy to release a companion portrait.  Emmanuelle is one of an estimated twenty thousand children born of rape during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Over the past three years Torgovnik has made repeated trips to Rwanda to document the experience of children like Emmanuelle, and their mothers, who fifteen years later continue to face enourmous challenges.

The sale of both of these prints benefit both the Aperture Foundation and Foundation Rwanda.

Josef Koudelka‘s exhibition coproduced by Aperture and Magnum Photos, Invasion 68: Prague is now on view in Argentina at the Fundacion OSDE.  The remarkable photographs were taken during one week in August of 1968, which capture the Soviet-led invasion of Prague.  Koudelka took to the streets to document this critical moment. His powerful photographs reached Magnum Photos in New York and earned the still-anonymous photographer the Robert Capa Award. This exhibition, with many images—reproduced in large-scale prints and grids—never having been seen before, as well as compelling texts by Czech historians.

Barbara Crane gave a talk last November coinciding with her exhibition, Barbara Crane: Private Views, currently on view at Aperture Gallery. Crane went through her entire 45-year illustrious career as a photographer who continues to experiment with processes and reinventing a new language for her different bodies of work. In this excerpt below, Crane speaks specifically about her series of close-up Polaroids from Private Views taken in Chicago in the 1980s; how she photographed in movement with her cumbersome Super Speed Graphic camera, in thick crowds and her particular attention to gesture and colors. She also explains how it took her more than 25 years to edit these images in a book.

Part 1, Part 2

Barbara Crane: Private Views is on view at Aperture Gallery until January 21st. This series is a celebration of the classic 1980s Polaroid snapshot with an experimental flair; Crane’s mixture of natural light and flash combined with her use of Polaroid film highlights the primary colors of ’80s fashion, which still feels hip and contemporary today. An exhibition of this work will also be on view at Galerie Françoise Paviot, in Paris from January 14th until February 20th. There will be an opening with the artist on Saturday, January 23rd from 4:00 to 8:00 pm.
