Yesterday, New York Photo Festival attendees were treated to a very special panel discussion featuring photographers from three continents. Curator Claude Grunitzky, brought together Christian Witkin, Evangelia Kranioti, and Irmelie Krekin for his exhibition the Curse and the Gift and we were lucky enough to have them all in the same room to discuss their work.
The evening was marked by a one-of-a-kind book and multimedia presentation from Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid, author of The Book of Ice. Accompanied by Adrianna Mateo on violin, Miller treated the crowd to some very special compositions in between stories about his trip to Antarctica. He also touched on everything from the remix culture we live in to how he turns visual and environmental elements into new sonic arrangements.
Stay tuned for a very special additional programming announcement for tomorrow…
