The Hunter College Art Galleries are pleased to present Peripheral Visions: Italian Photography in Context, 1950s-Present. This landmark exhibition, on view from February 3-April 28, 2012, showcases, for the first time in the United States, the works of major Italian photographers who have explored an alternative image of the country: a landscape bound to urban edges, focused on the discarded and the marginal, and deeply connected to a new identity which has developed side by side to the industrial and global transformation of Italian cities.

This group exhibition retraces the history back to the fifties, when photographers like Paolo Monti and Mario Carrieri focused on the blight and the beauty of a city like Milan, where an increasing urban sprawl was creating new social peripheries. The conceptual practices of Franco Vaccari and Ugo Mulas reveal the dynamic dialogue between photography and the overall artistic culture, leading up to Luigi Ghirri's photography of a new Italian landscape that he treated with a particular color palette. Ghirri's emphasis on the evocative power of the everyday recurs throughout the show and informs more recent and contemporary visions by artists such as Vincenzo Castella, Massimo Vitali, Francesco Jodice, and Paola Di Bello, among others.

The Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, in partnership with the New York City Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, today announced the completion of "Bettina" Art Installation. Created by artist Jennifer Cecere under the Urban Art Program's partners track, the piece is composed of an 8-foot vinyl mesh doily, which will hang outside the terminal's Ramp E for up to 11 months. Cecere's work is inspired from collecting lace and doilies from auctions and yard sales as a child in rural Indiana. After working with found lace and doilies for years in her studio, Cecere began incorporating them into large-scale outdoor works, while still retaining the charm of a handmade look.

"If you read 'ROMA' backwards you get 'AMOR', which means 'love' in Italian. This exhibition aims at representing two opposite aspects of contemporary Italy: the INFERNO (HELL) of our recent history, where Art and Beauty were covered by layers of decay and death - as in some sort of slaughterhouse - and the SMILE of rebirth. You might recall that in 390 B.C. ancient Rome was saved by the vigilant Capitoline geese, who began to squawk, warning the Roman soldiers about the advancing enemy. These photos intend to offer a smiling wish for the hope of a new Italian Renaissance."
