The Peter Blum Gallery will be hosting an exhibition of photography by Chris Marker: Staring Back. The exhibit is almost 200 photographs taken over the course of six decades by the enigmatic and influential French filmmaker. This show, organized by Bill Horrigan at the Wexner Center for the Arts, is the first exhibition of Marker's photographs, and consists of images selected by the artist himself from his own archive, including black-and-white portraits of individuals that Marker has encountered during the course of his world travels.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the gallery will present a selection of Chris Marker films, including THE CASE OF THE GRINNING CAT, on October 4, 11 and 18 at 7pm in their Chelsea gallery location.
