I work around the corner from ICP (International Center of Photography) and besides the fact that this means hipster art chicks walking around during my lunch break (amazing) it means some quality art. (But what guy really (read "REALLY") likes art? I "like" art but i can also admit that I worked at an art gallery for six months solely cause i thought girls would think that was attractive.)Well if you like art or if you want to be able to talk art to girls you don't know - check out this show (it's Japanese - bonus points with hipster girls). Opening is tonight and the exhibition will be up through September 7th.
From the ICP Website:
"Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan will present the exciting and highly individualistic work of a new generation of Japanese artists who have come of age following the Asian economic crash of 1990. For the last several years, China has been the focus of attention for contemporary Asian art, while the remarkable and distinctive younger generation of Japanese artists who are working today has been largely ignored. This ICP exhibition will be the first major U.S. presentation of contemporary photo-based artwork from Japan in over ten years. Heavy Light will present the work of thirteen artists and will fill most of the ICP gallery space. The exhibition will include both photographs and video, many of which are large and dramatic pieces. Curated by ICP curator Christopher Phillips and Noriko Fuku of the University of Art and Design in Kyoto, Heavy Light will be accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue and a range of public programs."
