Private Tour of Hard Copy New York  https://aperture.org/event/private-tour-of-hard-copy-new-york/ Wed, 11 Mar 2026 20:14:14 +0000 https://aperture.org/?post_type=event&p=335039 Aperture welcomes members for an exclusive tour of Hard Copy New York with the International Center of Photography’s creative director and the exhibition’s cocurator, David Campany. The exhibition explores the contemporary use of the photocopied image, featuring artists such as Stephen Shore and Ari Marcopoulos.
