"The first, "In/Sight: African Photographers, 1940 to the Present,"
appeared at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1996. It was
fantastic, a revelation. Now, a decade later, the second one has
arrived, "Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African
Photography" at the International Center of Photography. It, too, is
fantastic — stimulating, astringent, brimming with life — and
different from its predecessor."
One of the photographs shown appears to be a transfer of some kind to
hand made paper. The image is very light.
Here is more information on the Exhibit:
"Snap Judgments: New Positions in Contemporary African Photography"
continues through May 28 at the International Center of Photography,
1133 Avenue of the Americas, at 43rd Street, (212) 857-0000 or
