Out of Eastern Europe: Private Photography opened at the List Center in January, 1987. A more concise selection than the Second Portfolio, the exhibition included works by thirty artists from Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, and Poland, and was accompanied by a catalog with essays by Jacob and Lynn Zelevansky. For its presentation in New York City, at the Grey Art Gallery at New York University, émigré writer Jerzy Kosinski contributed an introductory statement describing the exhibition as “the penultimate art of spiritual confrontation.”

Photocurator (*.org) originated in Y2K as a network for photography curators. It was an online portal for communication and produced an annual printed index listing member’s exhibitions and cross-referencing their fields of research. It was terminated in 2006. This iteration (*.me) was launched in 2022. It is a reckoning of its author with his career as a maker and wrangler of images.
