ICP visit

Ok, I may have only gotten one of the visits out of the way, but I still did it.

The first photograph was by Robert Capa. Well, considering the present exhibition was based on his work, I found no other photographers' work on the first floor. It was in the France area, and taken in August 1951. I tend to find photos of people not to my taste, so the photo with a wave crashing was the most interesting of them amongst his works.

The second was by David Benjamin Sherry, called Electric Crimson Mountain. The little rectangle thingy containing information beside it called it a chromogenic print, or something like that. It was a scene with rocks, being highly textured and printed in red. From what I understand, a chromogenic print is… you know how color photo printers at first print either magenta, cyan or yellow at the beginning? It is like that, but omitting the other colors.

The third was by Adam Fuss, was an unnamed piece. It was one of the two splotchy things downstairs; you'd know what I was talking about if you saw it. That plaque thing said it was a 'unique gelatin silver photogram'.  Even after Googling what that was, I still have no clue how it was done. That is one of the reasons I was interested in it.


I did not take photos of the specific works, as I thought that would be both not very acceptable in a museum, and also redundant. A photo of a photo.
