中国人正用摄影和世界连接

在上海可供我使用的场地，是莎朗·约翰斯顿 (Sharon Johnston)和马克·李(Mark Lee)的美国建筑事务所为“西岸2013建筑与当代艺术双年展设计的。由于这栋建筑位于在黄浦江边新规划的“文化走廊里，我觉得是个办国际摄影中心这类机构的理想场所。所以我告诉区长我会做点什么。

My friend Christopher Phillips of I.C.P. in New York encouraged me. We are now discussing howto curate an exhibition of Cornell Capa, who has photographed China. [Mr. Capa foundedI.C.P. in 1974.] In some ways, Shanghai reminds me a lot of New York, where I studied in the1970s and where I was inspired by I.C.P., which was first located on Fifth Avenue at East 94thStreet.

我在纽约国际摄影中心的朋友克里斯托弗·菲利普斯(Christopher Phillips)鼓励我。我们目前正在讨论如何策划康奈尔·卡帕(Cornell Capa)的展览，他曾用影像记录中国(卡帕在1974年创办了国际摄影中心)。上海的某些地方让我想起纽约，1970年代在那里求学，坐落在那里的国际摄影中心是我灵感的来源，它最初是在东94街和第五大道上。

Q. What kinds of exhibitions and activities will the center host?

That exhibition will travel to Shanghai next year.
