ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Paolo Pellegrin, Alec Soth, Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Martin Parr, Larry Towell, Alex Webb, Donovan Wylie, and Chien-Chi Chang to photograph and exhibit new work in the hometown of Kodak.


Visual Studies Workshop to Host Open Studio and ARTBOOK Store for Magnum Photographers

From April 14 - 29, 2012, ten Magnum photographers will live, work and exhibit together in Rochester, New York. The project, titled House of Pictures, is part of an ongoing series of collaborative attempts to investigate a fragmented and often anxious American landscape. Rochester, with its deep connection to the history of photography, provides a particularly resonant and meaningful setting.

Visual Studies Workshop's auditorium will serve as the photographers’ home base and an open studio. ARTBOOK will create a one-of-a-kind bookstore with inventory tailored specifically to Magnum Photos and the House of Pictures project. The auditorium and ARTBOOK @ VSW pop-up bookstore will be open to the public April 19-20, 5 - 8pm, April 21 - 22, 12 - 5pm, April 25 - 27, 5 - 8pm, and April 28 - 29, 12 - 5pm and by appointment.

Share your secret about Rochester. Bring your photographs past or present for possible inclusion in a project by Magnum photographers. We are interested in all kinds of pictures, from any time period and in any medium (prints, slides, albums etc.) Wednesday through Friday, April 18th, 19th, and 20th from 12 to 2pm at Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince Street. You can also upload new or scanned pictures to the project’s flickr group and tag them “Rochester.” Any questions, please call: (585) 442 -8676.
