The Edge of Vision: Abstraction in Contemporary Photography

AIR's Beatrice Johnson speaks with Lyle Rexer, curator of the current exhibit The Edge of Vision: Abstraction in Contemporary Photography, and participating artists Charles Lindsay, Seth Lambert and Penelope Umbrico. The exhibition, which holds abstraction to be an intrinsic element of photography, puts on display contemporary conceptions and investigations of this innate quality. The result, which is on view at New York's Aperture Gallery through July 16, 2009 and is also available as a catalogue, is revelatory in its exploration of what this inherency suggests about the photographic medium (42 minutes).
