The New York Times Article, "A Citywide Treasure Hunt for
Photographs With Vision," Mentions Barnard's Exhibit

New York, NY, October 25, 2002—Barnard is hosting one of the 50 photo exhibits which celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Aperture, the world's leading publisher of photography. The exhibit is located in Java City, Upper Level McIntosh, and will run from October 18 through November 4.

Aperture's 50 exhibits, titled "Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50," are scattered throughout New York City at many prominent public venues from museums and cultural institutions to zoos and bookstores. The New York Times covered the exhibition in an article titled, "A Citywide Treasure Hunt for Photographs With Vision," which makes mention of Barnard's exhibition. The Times wrote: "The resulting exhibition is a treasure hunt. The goal is to see all 170 photos. You pick up a map at Aperture, at 20 East 23rd Street, or the first site you happen to hit, and then start hunting."

Other locations where the photography can be seen include The Central Park Arsenal, New Leaf Café in Fort Tryon Park, Rockefeller Center, the International Center of Photography, the Guggenheim, and the School for Visual Arts. Some of the famous photography includes pieces from Eudora Welty (at Barnard), Jerome Liebling, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Sebastiao Salgado.
