Weegee (Arthur Fellig, US 1899 – 1968) is one of the most colourful figures in American photography. He is renowned for his sensational images of assassinations, fires, accidents, brawls and orgies. His flash mercilessly captures the events, plain and outspoken. The exhibition Weegee: Murder Is My Business focuses on his dramatic black-and-white images of the New York crime scene of the 1930s and 1940s, which set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism.

Brian Wallis (ICP), curator of the exhibition, gives a lecture about Weegee and the exhibition on 19 October at 8 pm at the FoMu. Reservation recommende: reservatie@fomu.be – 03 242 93 20
