Speaking the Language of Photography
Winter 2013

aperture.org/magazine

In the winter 2013 issue of Aperture, titled “Photography as you don’t know it,” ten leading curators, historians, writers, and publishers introduce photographers they believe have been overlooked, or are undervalued, and deserve more attention today. The issue also considers important exhibitions due for reconsideration, how various institutions respond to photography’s continually shifting boundaries, and how we might assemble the future history of photography.

WORDS—The sharpest ideas in photography
The Morgan Library & Museum’s curator of photography, Joel Smith, considers how we tell a history of photography
Katrina Sluis speaks with Christiane Paul and Julian Stallabrass about how new technologies may shape future histories of photography
Brian Dillon considers the eccentric holdings of London’s Archive of Modern Conflict
Philip Gefter speaks with Quentin Bajac, MoMA’s new chief curator of photography

Four writers reflect on exhibitions due for reconsideration:
Noni Stacey on Women & Work, London, 1975
Olivier Lugon on Architecture, Measure of Man, Milan, 1951
Mary Statzer on Photography into Sculpture, New York, 1970
Vanessa Rocco on the Building Workers Unions Exhibition, Berlin, 1931
