SHAPING
OF
NEW VISIONS
The newly curated exhibit at The MoMA, The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook, is serving up a serious helping of surreal photographic history presented as distinct "new visions" rooted in unconventional and innovative exercises that range from photograms and photomontages to experimental films and photobooks.
