Edmund Clark's Guantanamo Exhibition at ICP Museum

The ICP Museum in New York is hosting 'The Day The Music Died', a solo exhibition by British photographer Edmund Clark (born 1963 in London). Clark was among the first photographers granted access to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the controversial maximum-security prison established after the September 11, 2001 attacks to hold suspected terrorists. The exhibition draws from multiple projects born from that access, including 'If the Light Goes Out' (2010), which examines the concept of 'home' for both American soldiers and detainees. The show also features official documents, video, audio, and a new work, '198/2000' (2017), which addresses abuse and torture suffered by detainees in US overseas detention centers. The exhibition runs until May 6, 2018, at 250 Bowery, New York. Clark's work consistently investigates the security, secrecy, legality, and ethics of measures adopted by political and military authorities to protect citizens from terrorism.
