Looking to get out of the city for a day? Take a trip to Mount Tremper Arts in the Catskill Mountains and see Seven Summits, the group photography exhibition featured during their Summer Festival. The exhibition highlights the practice of artists whose adventuresome spirit leads them straight to the source of their subject matter, whether it be found inside the studio or across the country. Seven Summits features fourteen pieces by seven artists, including Artur Ou from the Center for Photographic Media and Culture at Parsons The New School for Design which currently has an exhibition on view at Aperture Gallery, States of Flux. Also featured in the show are works by artists Roe Etheridge and Miranda Lichtenstein.

Mount Tremper Arts was founded by photographer Mathew Pokoik and choreographer Aynsley Vanderbroucke is a multi-disciplinary non-profit that supports contemporary artists in the creation and presentation of new works of art.

Widely acclaimed artists Collier Schorr and Roe Etheridge, founders of Primary Information James Hoff and Miriam Katzeff will be featured on a panel this Wednesday to discuss and consider the future of the photograph in print, moderated by  artist, critic and founding editor of Influence Magazine, Gil blank .

The panel, entitled Open Cover Before Striking, Confounding Expectations is presented by Aperture, the photography department in the School of Art, Media and Technology at Parsons and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School. The question posed to the event’s participants will be: As print faces the encroachment of digital technology and the mainstreaming of online culture, what is the viability of printed and published forms of photography – monographic, serial, underground or otherwise – as a means of photographic production?
