The show is comprised of images from the work of photojournalists Marcus Bleasdale, Ron Haviv, and Donald Weber, who witnessed this swift and intense conflict between Georgia and Russia, providing a sweeping narrative of both the media's prominent and controversial role, as well as the sheer senselessness of the war that erupted in August. Reception: Tuesday, November 18th, 6pm Show dates: November 13th - December 31st 10am-6pm Curated by: Denise Wolff with support from Human Rights Watch RSVP: viidumbo@viiphoto.com 28 Jay Street, DUMBO, Bklyn 212.337.3130 | www.viiphoto.com Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:10:47 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/vii-gallery-opening-georgia-the-august-war This should be a really great event. VII members Marcus and Ron, and VII Network shooter Don, did some excellent work there and the product is terrific. All LSers in NYC should catch this show, especially on opening night with the Human Rights Watch people who were also in Georgia at the time. HRW is doing some serious work these days. BTW, VII was really lucky to get Denise Wolff, formerly of Phaidon publishing, to contribute her very considerable talents to those of Carroll Bogart of HRW, in producing and installing the show. It should also be a real treat because of their skills and efforts.
