What:<\/strong> 2011 New York Photo Festival<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> Multiples venues, including the Powerhouse Arena, 37 Main Street, DUMBO<\/a><\/p>\n

When:<\/strong> May 11-15th, Exhibition Hours Vary<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong> The New York Photo Festival returns for its fourth photography installation. The multi-venue festival will host 40 events over five days presenting more than 3,000 images from around the world along Brooklyn\u2019s waterfront.<\/p>\n

Photography Now, this year’s theme, examines documentary photography and its power to be a personal and engaging art form. German born curator Elisabeth Biondi and Italian born curator Enrico Bossan take a distinct perspective on the theme; Bossan\u2019s show Hope: Between Dream and Reality<\/em> showcases young photographers who \u201ccapture the essential aspects of life.\u201d While Biondi\u2019s Subjective\/Objective<\/em> positions documentary photography as a viable medium of visual language and not a relic of digital media.<\/p>\n

The duo converge their curator voices with a one night only event, Under the Bridge: Projections of a Revolution<\/em> on <\/strong>Thursday, May 12 at 8p.m.<\/strong> Four screens will flash hundreds of images from noted photographers like Contrasto, Getty, and One Day on Earth alongside non-profits and non-professionals. This body of work\u2014accompanied by music from African native DJ Awesome Tapes\u2014will honor fallen documentary journalists who\u2019ve covered areas of Libya, Egypt, and Tunis while exhibiting photos and videos of the revolutions in North Africa.<\/p>\n

Thursday through Saturday, participate in the Leica Scavenger Hunt<\/strong>, with your own camera or borrow one from the festival. Follow clues while discovering area landmarks in historic DUMBO. The best images will be showcased in a pop-up exhibition on Saturday from 5-7p.m.<\/p>\n

Additional festival highlights include the Lecture Series at St. Ann\u2019s Warehouse <\/strong>on Friday (12p.m.\u20137p.m.) and Saturday 11a.m.-7p.m. Lectures of note include NYPH presents Fred Ricthin and Brian Palmer in Conversation on Friday, May 13th<\/sup> at 4p.m<\/strong>. on the challenges of digital media for a photographic community, FotoVisura Presents E Cite: The Phenomenon of Online Blogs & Magazines on Saturday May 14th<\/sup> at 4p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the weekend, stop in for Saturday\u2019s Slideluck Potshow XVI <\/strong>curated by Whitney Johnson from 7p.m. \u2013 10p.m. Last year, it broke the Guinness World record for the Largest Potluck Dinner on Earth celebrating food, photography and community.
