Summary:

From its beginnings in experimentation by mid-19th century scientists and gentlemen of leisure, photography has been shaped by the desire to understand and explore the medium's essential materials. Taking that spirit of invention and discovery as its point of departure, this exhibition features the work of seven artists--Matthew Brandt, Marco Breuer, John Chiara, Chris McCaw, Lisa Oppenheim, Alison Rossiter, and James Welling--who focus their investigations on the light sensitivity and chemical processing of photographic papers, challenging us to see the medium anew. The exhibition also includes an overview of experimental practices during the twentieth century, drawn from the Getty Museum's collection. The works on view in Light, Paper, Process provide a glimpse into the continued interrogation and reinvention of the medium of photography by artists working today.
