A bumper exhibition of street photography with 35 masters of the genre
Street. Life. Photography
When: September 11–February 16
Where: Kunst Haus Wien
Entry: 11€ or 5€ for students, buy a ticket
Street photography – some see it as a gross invasion of privacy, others (such as ourselves) see it as a highly valuable, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly, documentation of our times.
The Kunst Haus has gathered the work of 35 masters of this art-form, from the 1930s to the present day. From the literally ‘in-your-face’ work of Bruce Gilden, to the much earlier documentation of New York streets from Lisette Model. There will also be work from Diane Arbus’ portraits of marginalised groups, to Martin Parr’s often comedic captures of the zeitgeist. There’s guaranteed to be something that fascinates everybody who has a love for people.
Recommended if you like: scouring the streets with a camera, living off canned food while spending the rest of your money on cameras, exploring photography, thinking outside the box, observing the zeitgeist, getting a taste of other countries and cultures.
Wed. 11th Sep — Sun. 16th Feb
