Aperture and Rockefeller Center, in collaboration with Parsons School of Design and MACK, is pleased to present an artist talk with Irina Rozovsky as she discusses her project
In Plain Air (2011–20), featured in the “New York” issue of
Aperture magazine. For ten years, Rozovsky has been making lyrical portraits of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park both of the landscape and its visitors perfectly capturing the democratic nature of the space. From images of women fishing to family barbeques to young couples in the grass,
In Plain Air is a lover letter to Prospect Park and all those who spend time there.
Aperture Foundation, in collaboration with the photography program at Parsons School of Design at The New School, is pleased to present an artist talk with Maria Antelman.
Maria Antelman is a visual artist whose work explores the relationship between technology and the human condition. Inspired by new and old technologies, Antelman addresses our society’s dependence on technology, and the way humans adapt to meet the needs of the digital landscape. Speaking about her work, Antelman states: “As we become extensions of the technologies we use, our tools change us and change the way we respond to the world.

This feeling, which was amplified in August by news reports about the president’s deliberate crippling of the United States Postal Service, heightened my appreciation for the humble picture postcard. Sending a postcard allows us to share a souvenir from a place we visited, or to give the experience of a work of art (even if that work remains in the collection of a museum).

The space opposite is obscured with a blank pull-out page that expands to reveal a tree in full bloom, bright flowers swelling between branches. The Berlin Wall looms in the background, like a shadow sunshine can’t dispel. In Schmidt’s
