Not only is there this fantastic Sudek exhibition but a great show of Hiroshi Sugimoto´s photographs
as well.

Here's a link on the Sugimoto work:

I see that "he produces works that reflect... a fascination with the paradoxes of time". Non-linear time, perhaps? ;-)

I've been meaning to see these, but of course entirely lost track of the calendar. Michael, thanks for the timely reminder - I don't want to miss Sudek!

Where's the Sugimoto exhibit? Not at the MFA, is it?

Chris -

Yes, Sugimoto is at MFA.

"Yes, Sugimoto is at MFA."

does it have any of his new photographs of mathematical forms/models?

well, anyone who photographs a whole movie from beginning to end is interesting in my book.... and definately interested in "time".... :-)

Tim -

I don't know what's included in the Sugimoto show - can't tell from the press release, and there are no samples on the MFA website. I'm going to try to make it over to the MFA before Sudek closes and see both. Sugimoto continues into June, so I'll report back on what's there if nobody else has had a chance to do so before I get to it.

Stay tuned - it's only a matter of time...

>Yes, Sugimoto is at MFA.

Geez, I need to pay closer attention and/or the MFA needs to do better advertising. (All I've been hearing from them is sports cars and Damien *&%#ing Hirst.) On the topic of Sudek, there's a corridor not too far from his show with 15-20 prints from his contemporaries - very nice work, prints are more traditionally modernist than Sudek's.
