Blogs are playing an ever growing role in Latino life in the United States. They have become a popular means for the exchange and expression of ideas and information. MediaNoche, a gallery and community cultural space in el Barrio aka Spanish Harlem, NYC explores how photoblogs are changing the photographic landscape and opening up new possibilities for visual communication and exchange in the exhibit BLOGS , that opens tonight. Judith Escalona, Director of MediaNoche says via the release for the exhibition that:

BLOGS represents a rupture in the way photographs are traditionally exhibited and sold, allowing the presentation of over 1,000 works in MediaNoche’s space and converting viewers into bloggers who can interact with the printless photographs on display

Bloggers and those that love them should go and represent and experience the work of over 200 photographers worldwide, from Puerto Rico to Taiwan.

Tonight is the opening reception from 6 pm – 9 pm. There is a special talk by the artists on Saturday October 22 at 3PM. The exhibit can also be viewed on Tuesdays through Saturdays through November 26, between the hours of 3PM and 7PM.
