El Museo Reina Sofía presenta la exposición Manhattan, uso mixto. Fotografía y otras prácticas artísticas desde 1970 al presente. Alrededor de 400 fotografías componen esta exposición que se podrá visitar hasta finales del verano. Se trata de una importante seleccion de trabajos sobre la ciudad de Nueva York realizados a finales de los setenta, coincidiendo con el intenso periodo de desindustrializacion, con el contrapunto de fotografias mas recientes de artistas que, estando al tanto de las practicas de sus predecesores en aquel momento, siguen encontrando un potencial estetico en la ciudad norteamericana.

For one or two semester courses in the History of Photography. Mary Warner Marien has constructed a richer and more kaleidoscopic account of the history of photography than has previously been available. Her comprehensive survey shows compellingly how photography has sharpened, if not altered forever, our perception of the world. The book was written to introduce students to photography. It does not require that students possess any technical know-how and can be taught without referring to techniques in photography. Incorporating the latest research and international uses of photography, the text surveys the history of photography in such a way that students can gauge the medium's long-term multifold developments and see the historical and intellectual contexts in which photographers lived and worked. It also provides a unique focus on contemporary photo-based work and electronic media.
