It's pretty commonplace for folks to question their government and the choices that they make; and as a reflection of the times the International Center of Photography (ICP) here in NYC has two new exhibits that are doing just that. The first portrays one of the closest and cruelest things that American politicians have done: the incarceration of Japanese Americans. Then They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II is a collection of photographs from a number of Japanese photographers and includes the work from some greats such as Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams. Yes, that's right; the father of landscape photography even has his own section in this exhibit. This exhibit gives way to Edmund Clark: The Day The Music Died. In this exhibit, viewers should be mentally prepared to be intentionally confused and at times even irritated.
