City Site: Street Photography & Southern California Neo Urbanism August 18, 2011

City Site will explore the post World War II period shift in Southern California-based photography from imagery that was picturesque, image-oriented, and existential in nature, to a more conceptually motivated style of representation that was decisively suburban, process-oriented, and experiential. Additionally, the exhibition will look at how the city-based, neo-urban photography of the time on the West Coast differed from concurrent activity on the East Coast.
