the Curse and the Gift is a featured exhibition curated by Claude Grunitzky
as part of the New York Photo Festival in DUMBO, Brooklyn, May 16 – 20, 2012.

Artists included in this exhibition are Evangelia Kranioti, Irmelie Krekin, and Christian Witkin.

The exhibition concept explores how photographs based on representations of our world can exist both as documentary and as fine art, and how the meaning of the work can be transformed in each environment. Each of the artists represented here produce powerful work on important global themes. The emphasis on the meaning of this work can vary if the work appears in a commercial art gallery, non-commercial art gallery, book, museum, or on the internet.
