ICP Exhibition dates, Bill Wood's Business and Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan

Bill Wood's business was photography—and he produced tens of thousands of images over the course of his career. From 1937 (the tail end of the Great Depression) through the boom years that followed World War II and until his death in 1973, the Bill Wood Photo Company supplied local snap shooters and amateur photographers with cameras, flash bulbs, accessories, and quality photo finishing.

The variety of subjects and situations he captured provide an in-depth photographic record of life in Fort Worth, Texas, a post-World War II American city just hitting its stride.

Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan is the first major U.S, presentation of contemporary photo-based artwork from Japan in over ten years. The exhibition will include both photographs and video, many of which are large and dramatic pieces.
