Aperture and LensCulture Celebrate the Opening of "Beyond Boundaries"
On Thursday, April 26, the opening reception for Beyond Boundaries: LensCulture Discoveries in Contemporary Photography was held at Aperture Gallery. Beyond Boundaries is a wide-ranging group show that doubles as both a celebration and a survey of global image making today. With 101 participating photographers hailing from over thirty-four countries, this exhibition is a visual reflection of the beating hearts and curious minds of LensCulture’s vibrant community.
It was thrilling for guests to welcome a number of the participating photographers to the opening, who had flown in from all corners of the globe to see their images hung in Aperture’s exhibition space. If you didn’t make it to the opening, the show is on view through Thursday, May 2, 2019.
AnneCharlotte Guinot, a Juror’s Pick from the LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2018, traveled from Mexico. “Encountering my photograph on the wall among all the other amazing photos from all over the world, executed in such a beautiful design in such a wonderful space, was an experience that I will remember forever,” she says. “Photography is an art form with infinite possibilities, and this exhibition gave us all a taste to explore those possibilities even more. I am so proud to be part of this unique and beautiful exhibition.”
Marc Ohrem-Leclef, an Art Photography Awards Juror’s Pick, reflects, “As an image maker, it is wonderful to see your work shown on gallery walls and be able to share the work with a wider audience. This is especially true and meaningful with Aperture Gallery, the famed gallery and foundation in NYC. The history and gravitas attached to this space is especially humbling, and encourages me to continue my work and set the highest standards for its future iterations.”
LensCulture is one of the most far-reaching resources for discovering the best in contemporary photography around the world. Beyond Boundaries is part of an ongoing commitment to offer recognition, exposure, and career-changing opportunities to photographers of all levels.
