| On the Wall: Aperture Magazine '05-'06January 11, 2007- March 8, 2007Reception: January 11, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm On the Wall: Aperture magazine ’05–’06 is the first in what will become a biennial exhibition, showcasing work by all the living artists featured in the previous eight issues of Aperture magazine. On the Wall will include close to one hundred works published in issues 178 to 185 (2005–06) by legendary artists such as William Eggleston, Robert Adams, Mary Ellen Mark, and William Christenberry, as well as works by mid-career and emerging artists, including Lise Sarfati, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Katherine Wolkoff, and Edgar Martins. Translating the experience of the magazine into exhibition form, this dynamic presentation offers a compelling range of photographic practice—from the socially concerned work of photojournalist Eugene Richards to concept-based photographic installations by Alfredo Jaar and Joel Sternfeld’s rarely seen early 35 mm work. Since Aperture magazine’s founding in 1952, the field of photography has evolved and been transformed in numerous ways and for a host of reasons, from the introduction of digital technologies to photography’s newfound prominence within contemporary art. Aperture magazine strives to reflect this diversity and, likewise, On the Wall will provide the viewer with an overview of photographic work by some of the most important and innovative artists working in the field.
