As an affiliate, the ZKM is participating in this project, together with roundabout 25 cultural and educational institutions from 12 countries. The deadline is July 31st.

4. This weekend is your last chance to check out Justin James Reed’s solo show at Stockbridge Fine Art in Philadelphia. “This work represents a departure from Reed’s previous photographic method, with each unique piece concentrating on an individual concept. “Don’t Die,” explores inherent gestural and sculptural aspects of photography in contrast to its traditional applications.” (Stockbridge Fine Art). A must see if you are in the tristate area.
