This month, sight, sound, and time combine in lens-based art to offer multiple exposures of a rapidly evolving medium. See and hear work by Christian Marclay at San Francisco's Fraenkel Gallery, Stuart Hawkins at Zach Feuer in Chelsea, and Paul Chan at the New Museum, to name a few. For its sheer volume of images and presentations, don't miss the first installment of New York Photo Festival: The Future of Photography. This international event runs in 12 venues throughout Brooklyn's historic DUMBO, from May 14 to 18, with exhibitions curated by Martin Parr, Lesley A. Martin, Tim Barber, and Kathy Ryan.
