PR ART NEWS - Puerto Rican artist María del Mar Hernández Gil de Lamadrid was selected for the group show “Keywords for Contemporary Photography: Privacy, Space, Voice” at Photoville 2016 in New York City. A premier photo destination produced by United Photo Industries, the annual festival is a modular venue built from re-purposed shipping containers. By creating a physical platform for photographers of all stripes to come together and interact, Photoville provides a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse audience — a veritable cross-section of the world’s photographic community.
Immersion and interactivity are at the
heart of what makes Photoville such a successful and popular event, allowing it
to become the largest annual photographic
event in New York City and among the most-attended photographic events
nationwide. Photoville’s fourth edition (2015) in Brooklyn Bridge Park,
welcomed over 72,000 visitors.
About the group show
What matters most for contemporary
photography today? Parsons MFA Photo students were tasked with collectively
generating and agreeing on three words that address this question. Their astute
responses form the basis for the group exhibition “Keywords For Contemporary
Photography: Privacy, Space, Voice” presented as part of Photoville 2016.
Photography itself is often described as
particularly sensitive to changes in technology, art, and society-at-large. As
a result, what matters for the medium has shifted many times throughout the
course of its history and will continue to do so. This exhibition acts as a
collective, nuanced and visual definition of what matters for photography
today.

Artists are current graduate students in
the MFA Photography program at Parsons School of Design in New York City. The
MFA in Photography program at Parsons School of Design functions as a
21st-century studio and think tank. Students are encouraged to develop their
individual vision in a collaborative interdisciplinary environment and to
explore related technologies, focusing on the relationship between concept and
production. A rigorous critique process and regular meetings with faculty,
visiting artists and critics help students develop a unique point of view and
situate themselves and their work within the larger historical, theoretical,
and contemporary visual contexts.
