Paul Graham show/interview
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
A shimmer of possiblity, which is the title of Paul Graham’s newest book project—it’s actually a set of 12 thin volumes boxed together—is now on view as an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, until May 18th. I’ve just arrived in town for the 2009 AIPAD show and I’m looking forward to seeing the work at MoMA in the next week.
PDN magazine recently published an interview with the photographer which you can read here, and in which he discusses, among other things, the influence of literature and literary theory on his photography. When I was editor of the photo-eye Booklist, I commissioned an interview between Graham and esteemed critic Richard Woodward, when the book first came out, and it ran in the Fall 2007 issue, which you can view here.
