The Annenberg Space For Photography
Los Angeles is home to a new cultural destination for the
world’s most renowned 
photographers and emerging photographers. The Annenberg Space for
Photography is the first photographic cultural destination where
exhibition-goers can see the world through a different lens.
The doors opened up March 27, 2009. Located where the former Shubert
Theater resided, The Space is a 10,000 square foot facility with a cutting edge
digital gallery along with a traditional print exhibit. Traditional and digital
galleries will expose visitors to an energetic environment and an unparalleled
amount of images.
The Space hosts images that are focused on the human
condition as an expression of the philanthropic work of the Foundation and its
Trustees. The Space is under the stewardship of LA based Trustees—Wallis
Annenberg, Lauren Bon, Charles Annenberg Weingarten and Gregory Annenberg
Weingarten.
The design and architecture for the space is influenced by
the mechanics of a camera. The circular digital gallery within the building was
created as an architectural metaphor for a camera lens. The building also
houses a photography reading room and a workshop area. Photographers and artists
alike come to The Space to exchange ideas and explore new areas of photography.
The Space features some of the most advanced technology. The
7’ x 14’ glass screens provide 4k resolution that surpasses Blu-Ray. The
technology used in the digital gallery was exclusively made for the Photography
Space.
Photography-themed books fill the Reading Room in The Space
to help inspire and educate visitors. The Reading Room encourages exhibit
visitors to explore the unique art from the many titles available and even read
about the featured photographers in the current exhibit.
Current Exhibit
Award winning photojournalists and visual editors from Pictures of the Year International (POYi) are
being honored at The
Space’s second exhibition. POYi is the oldest and most prestigious
photojournalism competition in the world and after 65 years of being at the
University of Missouri School of Journalism, they have moved to LA.
The exhibit displays the alignment of POYi goals and the
mission of The Space to inform and inspire the public by connecting people
through inspiring imagery and stories.
The exhibition tells the tale of 2008. Imagery displays the
horror of war and the financial collapse as well as political and athletic
achievements. Photographers from many different countries submitted more than
45,000 entries, which display dexterity and the complexity of the global age.
The images represent the conflicted philosophy of our modern civilization with
themes spanning from degradation to personal achievement, community to
isolation, and human creation to the inexplicable wonders of nature.
