Francesca Woodman

Presented by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum


'Francesca Woodman' is the first comprehensive survey of the artist's brief but extraordinary career to be seen in North America. Woodman's oeuvre represents a remarkably rich and singular exploration of the human body in space and of the genre of self-portraiture in particular. Her interest in female subjectivity, seriality, Conceptualist practice, and photography's relationship to both literature and performance are also hallmarks of the moment in American photography during which she came of age. This retrospective offers an occasion to examine more closely the maturation and expression of a highly subjective and coherent artistic vision. It also presents an important and timely opportunity to reassess the critical developments that took place in the 1970s in American photography and video.

Composed: Identity, Politics, Sex

Presented by Jewish Museum, The


'Composed' presents a selection of photo-based works by seven contemporary artists in the final gallery of the museum's permanent exhibition. Using conventional forms of photography--including traditional portraiture, photojournalism, and online profile pictures--the artists focus on the highly mediated politics of sex and desire. As a group, they build an emotional portrait of the overlapping national, ethnic and sexual identities that make up our public and private lives. The artists capture these complex identities in moments that range from loving and devastating to transformative and awkward. Artists represented include: Marc Adelman, Gloria Bornstein, AA Bronson, Debbie Grossman, Adi Nes, Collier Schorr, and Rona Yefman.

Spies in the House of Art: Photography, Film and Video

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art


Since the 1980s, a number of contemporary artists working in photography, film, and video have taken as their subject the art museum and how we view specific works from the canon of art history. 'Spies in the House of Art: Photography, Film, and Video' draws largely from the Museum's collection to focus on artists from the last three decades who explore the secret lives of museums. This installation in the Joyce and Robert Menschel Hall for Modern Photography features 17 works, half of which have never been shown before at the Metropolitan.

Naked Before the Camera

Presented by Metropolitan Museum of Art


Depicting the human body has been among the greatest challenges, preoccupations and supreme achievements of artists for centuries. The nude (even in generalized or idealized renderings) has triggered impassioned discussions about sin, sexuality, cultural identity and canons of beauty, especially when the chosen medium is photography, with its inherent accuracy and specificity. This exhibition of over 60 photographs selected from the renowned holdings of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, surveys the history of this subject and explores some of the motivations and meanings that underlie photographers' fascination with the nude.
