Diane Arbus: Photographs
March 28 through May 18, 2013
Diane Arbus’ portraits of socialites, nudists, transvestites, carnival performers, and eccentrics reflect her long-standing interest in subcultures and the rituals of groups within society. Arbus closely collaborated with her subjects by posing them, engaging them in conversations, and spending time in their homes and environments. This process set Arbus apart from her contemporaries, and resulted in images that are formal and deliberate, but also exceedingly personal. In turn, each portrait becomes an engaging collaboration between the subject, photographer, and viewer.
Rocks & Clocks Cameron Gainer, Mark Hagen, Emilie Halpern and Mungo Thomson
April 6 through May 18, 2013
Gainer will debut Sunrise/Sunset, a video installation comprised of a projection of a sunset through a hand blown hourglass. Mark Hagen’s carved and polished obsidian sculptures refer to the rock’s utilitarian function in tools once employed by ancient civilizations while acknowledging its current obsolescence as a sculpted glass. Emilie Halpern’s oeuvre explores a wide range of subjects that include astronomy, mythology and geography by employing a combination of poetic restraint and humble gestures.
Jemima Wyman: Effacing Power
April 27 through May 18, 2013
The artist utilizes painting, photography, collage and fabric sculpture to transform images from Occupy Steubenville, Free Pussy Riot, Black Bloc in Egypt and other protest movements. Her highly patterned works incorporate domestic craft techniques (such as quilting and faux finish painting) to investigate the clothing and masks worn by protesters including paisley bandanas, keffiyehs and camouflage, all of which are ubiquitous in current protest and resistance movements. Wyman explores the idea that the clothed body is often the first point of protest and demonstrates how masks and disguises provide collective power and protection in conflict zones.
People in Motion
April 18 through June 20, 2013
New artworks by UK artist Fabio Corruzzi, Los Angeles artists Erin Hammond and Judy Zimbert, Baltimore artist Gel Jamlang, and German artists Bettina Mauel, Carl Smith and Gerhard Völkle, among many others.
