One of the curators at this year’s New York Photo Festival (happening now until May 16th, started the 12th) is none other than Lou Reed. Hidden Books, Hidden Stories, the exhibition curated by Reed, features 3 parts. First, the photographs were selected and sequenced by Reed and will be accompanied by an original music score. The next part is a collection of participating artists’ books in a custom-built display that will give the visiting public an opportunity to experience each individual artist’s narrative in its entirety. Finally, the third part is a new installation of photographs and videos by Doug and Mike Starn of their monumental architectural performance, Big Bambú, which they are constructing as a site-specific work for The Metropolitan Museum of Art Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden.
