Dear friends, followers, fellow nomads, art and photography aficionados,
we are currently working on a show of photography from NYU’s archeological expedition in Egypt. Field Season is a collaborative project, and brings together work taken on site in Abydos, Egypt by Amanda Kirkpatrick, Greg Maka and Gus Gusciora.
Insider tip: the best thing about this work is that it shows what happens in the background of large scale digs in Egypt, the daily routines, the locals, the research teams, how contemporary Egypt continues to be greatly influenced by its ancient past, those aspects of archaeology generally under-presented by museums, institutions and scholars.
Since funding for the exhibition is extremely limited, we’ve put together a Kickstarter page for fund raising. We would greatly appreciate your support. Most importantly, please spread the word! And do try to come to the opening in December at the Kimmel Galleries at NYU, downtown New York City. Updates to come as the day approaches.
