NYC Exhibit: Urbes Mutantes ICP Museum May 16 - September 7, 2014 Urbes Mutantes: Latin American Photography 1944–2013 is a major survey of photographic movements in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. Taking the "mutant," morphing, and occasionally chaotic Latin American city as its focus, the exhibition draws particularly on street photography's depictions of the city during decades of political and social upheaval.
Canada Exhibit: Pictures from Paradise On view through May 25, 2014 Shipping Containers behind The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery 231 Queens Quay W, Toronto
A Survey of Contemporary Caribbean Photography: The exhibition examines the work of 18 artists through four photographic genres: ‘Tableau Vivant’ depicts constructed scenarios, ‘Portraiture’ challenges our understanding of the emotive subject, ‘The Documentary Image’ celebrates the interrogative attitude of photographs, and ‘Transformed Media’ hails digital processes. Presented in four adjoining shipping containers alongside Lake Ontario, the works invite contemplation about issues of consumerism, globalization, tourism, migration, and the ever-present legacy of slavery in Caribbean history. Brought to you by Wedge Curatorial Projects, a non-profit under the directorship of avid photography collector Kenneth Montague.

New Zealand's Mongrel Mob Photographed by Jono Rotman On view through May 24, 2014
The Gow Langsford Gallery in New Zealand is exhibiting Rotman's portraits from his seven-year project about the Mongrel Mob gang and some people are furious. Many think the work glamorizes gangs and is completely offensive to their victims, but Rotman insists that, "These men are part of the story of this country." Personally, I think the portraits are beautifully done and captures their humanity as well as their negativity. What do you think? See more of Rotman's Mongrel Mob portraits here.
