NEW VISIONS // JUROR MICHAEL ITKOFF

“It’s an experimental show. It’s an interesting take on the myriad ways in which people can use photography to tell stories and to share their personal vision.”

Juror Michael Itkoff visited the Center for the artists’ reception of the “New Visions” exhibition. He also lead a gallery talk and reviewed portfolios the following day. This video is part of an interview with Itkoff about his selections for the exhibition. In the video, he contrasts work by featured artists Lorena Turner and Francesca-Renata Nicolae.
