Photojournalism Now is on hiatus now until 24 November. See then you definately!
Exhibition: New York
Lauren Greenfield - Generation Wealth
Las Vegas strippers showered in dollar bills and LA rappers laden with bling; celebrities and socialites consuming more than they might ever use; young adults crippled by means of eating disorders; events for children that fee thousands; luxury owners now homeless...Those are simply some of the eventualities photographer Lauren Greenfield has captured in her expansive study of what it approach to stay the so-known as American Dream.
In this massive, and incredibly impressive, retrospective that spans more than 25 years of Greenfield's work, including photographs and videos, Generation Wealth paints an extraordinary picture of the age of consumerism and a world driven by rampant consumption where the dollar is worshipped beyond comprehension. This is a must-see. I'd go so far as to say, it is the exhibition of the year, for me. If you are in New York check it out. Also Phaidon has an amazing deal on shipping - only $10 to the US for the book! Much cheaper than excess baggage or postage!

This week I had the opportunity to look the World Press Photo exhibition in Washington DC. In the splendid space that is the Dupont Underground, a disused tram (or trolley automobile) station beneath Dupont Circle, the exhibition presented by way of World Press Photo and Lightscape DC, is definitely astonishing. I've seen some of the images earlier than, on-line and in print, but on the partitions of this wonderful cool venue, the big prints, and the numerous projections, make the work even extra impactful. If you are in DC, test it out.
Until 26 November

The 24th edition of the Noorderlicht International Photography Festival features the work of 74 photographers from 26 countries. With the theme ‘NUCLEUS, imagining science’ this expansive festival celebrates science and its representation with exhibitions across six locations in Groningen, Eelde and Assen. I visited Groningen and Noorderlicht in 2013 and it is one of the best festivals of photography in the world. Here is a brief selection of work I've chosen from this year's programme.
