In September we just managed to see the end of "How we are Photographing Britain" at the Tate Britain in London www.tate.org.uk/britain/ . That title is not punctuated after "are" so it can be read either way (title+subtitle or straight through). An incredible collection of photographs from the 1840s to the present day. I didn't mention it before as it had closed, but the web pages are still there, click Past exhibitions on the home page or here's the full link:
www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/howweare/default.shtm
That takes you to a page with sample pictures and descriptions, and links to related pages.
As the final part of the exhibition, there was a gallery of pictures selected from a special flickr group set up for the occasion.
www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/howweare/slideshow.shtm
That group with 6000 contributed photos from the general public can still be viewed, although it's closed now of course:
www.flickr.com/groups/howwearenow
The catalogue is still available.
The other two are still on at the Guggenheim museum in New York www.guggenheim.org/new_york_index.html
"he first is "Richard Prince: Spiritual America" (photographs, cartoons and paintings), open until the beginning of January.
www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/exhibition_pages/prince.html
from where you can select an online viewing (flash player required). The photographs are up to massive 40"x60" enlargements from Ektachrome, arranged all the way down the spiral gallery.
The second is "Foto: Modernity in Central Europe 1918-1945", also open until the beginning of January, after which it goes to Milwaukee for the spring and Edinburgh for the summer:
www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/exhibition_pages/foto.html
From here you can visit the online exhibition (divided into overview with slideshows, exhibition highlights (nine different sections of comprehensive description and examples), and photo gallery (several pages of photos that can be viewed individually).
Photography is permitted in the entrance hall of the Guggenheim and everyone takes the spiral gallery and the skylight at the top. I'll post my versions of these evergreen subjects some time.
