Gallerist-New Photography at MOMA

“I could understand a critique of this exhibition that called for the participation of certain overlooked figures or themes—rising star Lucas Blalock’s photography was notably absent, as is, on the other hand, the quiet, magically deft realism of Katie Murray or Dan Torop. The show, as usual, hangs together by the merest shred of a curatorial premise and therefore opens itself up to calls for a more thematic approach. It is hard to step back and see some of the work, because a huge amount of floor space is taken up by the plinths for a page-by-page display of Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin’s publication War Primer 2, a book of appropriated images about the contemporary war on terror that might been considerably easier to navigate displayed against or on a wall." Maika Pollack
