From “Tom Sachs: Cameras” at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum.

Through September 16, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum will show pieces  by Tom Sachs that focus on cameras.  Since 1972, Sachs has sporadically produced works that follow the evolution of photography as an art form. The exhibition, which is in collaboration with Sperone Westwater gallery in New York,  follows Sachs’s work in cameras, and will even include an opportunity for patrons to be photographed by the artist.
