Daido Moriyama
Aperture has been on a roll with good shows and amazing events lately!
Daido Moriyama
Printing Show—TKY
Exhibition is up from Monday, November 7 – Thursday, December 1
at Aperture Gallery
547 West 27th Street, 4th floor
Printing Show is a recreation of Daido Moriyama‘s 1974 performance of the same name. Following the format of the original performance as closely as possible, in lieu of prints mounted on the gallery walls, visitors to the gallery will find the photographer stationed at a photocopy machine duplicating his photographic prints. As was done forty years ago, these photocopied sheets will be assembled and staple-bound with a silk-screened cover printed in the gallery space during the performance.
In 1974, the ad hoc photobook that resulted from this process, Another Country—New York, featured images from a trip Moriyama had made to New York in 1971. The photobook, which was produced as ephemera for the performance, has since become a rare collector’s item. In the 2011 recreation, the work featured will include a selection of images made in Tokyo over the last fifteen years.
