Aperture Foundation and the School of Visual Arts have partnered to present a group exhibition of works by alumni of SVA’s BFA Photography Department that explores issues of role playing and identity in the twenty-first-century.

From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. The Edge of Vision, curated by Lyle Rexer, showcases the work of nineteen international contemporary photographers who base their practice in some form of abstraction from highly conceptual to more documentary approaches.

Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape brings together Torgovnik’s powerful stories of women who were subjected to sexual violence by the Hutu militia during the Rwandan Genocide. The exhibition on view at Aperture Gallery is comprised of thirty stunning individual portraits of the women with their children accompanied by their testimonies—intensely personal accounts of the daily challenges they continue to face, and their conflicted feelings about raising a child who is a reminder of horrors endured.

Luigi Ghirri was born in 1943 and died in 1992, at the age of forty-nine. During his relatively short life, he revolutionized Italian photography in the 1970s. Although widely considered a pioneer and master of contemporary color photography, Ghirri’s international reputation never fully took root before his death. Featuring both vintage and contemporary prints, this first major U.S. exhibition of Ghirri’s work coincides with the publication of the Aperture book of the same title.

On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the invasion of Prague, Aperture Gallery presents Invasion 68: Prague, an exhibition and catalog of Josef Koudelka’s remarkable work made during that one week.
