Silverstein Photography is pleased to announce this year’s curatorial nominees and their corresponding selection of photographers for the Silverstein Photography Annual (SPA), Silverstein Photography’s second annual invitational exhibition.
As part of the gallery’s ongoing effort to provide exposure to emerging artists whose work incorporates the medium of photography, Silverstein Photography with the guidance of curatorial advisor Nathan Lyons, annually invites ten prominent curators to nominate one artist whom they feel deserves the opportunity for further exposure within New York’s cultural milieu. This year, particular emphasis has been placed upon the inclusion of curators from international institutions, reinforcing the gallery’s commitment to providing an avenue for those artists working outside of the United States. We are pleased to announce this year’s curators and their selected artists:

In continuation of the gallery’s commitment to the sustained appreciation and furthering of the medium of photography, the Silverstein Photography Annual provides a platform for new voices in photography as well for the efforts and foresight of respected curators from around the world.
