Selfportraitr

Pace/MacGill Gallery and the School of Visual Arts’ graduate
photography department are pleased to present an interactive
exhibition of self-portraits drawn from Flickr.com, the online
digital photo-sharing network. Flickr’s user base consists of
over one million members who share images and image-related
information. Two leading forces in the New York art world—-a
major photography gallery and a top art school—-have joined
together to observe this online conversation of image making. The
mining and showcasing of this material strives to engage and
expand a rapidly growing virtual arts community. The exhibition
will be accessible to both viewers and contributors alike via the
Pace/MacGill website www.pacemacgill.com. Pace/MacGill’s gallery
space will house ten computers on which visitors can peruse the
pictures gathered from numerous global photographers as they would
online. A few monitors will display slideshows of images
specifically collected via the gallery website.
