Opening with a free public reception on Thursday, June 11th from 6:30pm-8:30pm, Pace University Art Gallery and the Student Exhibition Lab present three Summer 2026 exhibitions exploring how altered photographs are understood. Inspired by historic newsroom prints from the George Stephanopoulos Collection of News Photography bearing visible marks of manual editing, the exhibitions examine how image editing shapes meaning across analog and digital practices.
“Retold: Altered Photography” features contemporary artists Nouf Aljowaysir, Garth Amundson and Pierre Gour, Juyon Lee, Negin Mahzoun, and Wendel White who modify photographic images to reclaim and reframe personal narratives and social histories.
“Cut and Paste” presents a student‑curated selection of archival photographs from the Stephanopoulos Collection that were edited with whiteout, pen lines and physical incisions.
“Open for Interpretation” showcases student works exploring how a single image can be reinterpreted through construction and deconstruction.
On view through July 30, 2026.
