Museum of Modern Art
XL: 19 New Acquisitions in Photography
Open Until January 6, 2014
“This exhibition addresses photography’s influential role in contemporary art through a selection of recent major acquisitions, primarily multipart and serial works. Presented at MoMA for the first time, these works by 19 artists are grounded in diverse photographic traditions, suggesting the creative fertility of the medium from 1960 to today. They range from postwar experiments with darkroom processes (such as photograms and photomontages), to 1970s feminist performances conceived for the camera, to political and documentary engagements with labor history and globalization in the 1980s and 1990s, to forms of archival and historical reconstitution made since 2000. The international, cross-generational group of artists includes Yto Barrada, Phil Collins,* Liz Deschenes, Stan Douglas,* VALIE EXPORT, Robert Frank, Paul Graham, Leslie Hewitt,* Birgit Jürgenssen, Jürgen Klauke, Běla Kolářová, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Dóra Maurer, Oscar Muñoz, Mariah Robertson, Allan Sekula, Stephen Shore, Taryn Simon,* and Hank Willis Thomas.*
*Works by these artists will be on view beginning August 23, 2013.
Galleries 1–4 open May 10; gallery 5 opens August 23.”

Introductory Presentation by Christina Seely

Tickets: $10 General | $5 Students (available at the door)
“Sharon Harper’s work jettisons this idea of the photograph as a seamless window to reality and replaces it with a magic mirror, a transformative surface that is capable of making the invisible visible and the intangible tactile. Her photographs, which often involve the sky as a test bed of human perception, have less to do with what we see than what we don’t see or, perhaps more accurately, what we want to see or try to see, but can’t.”
—Stephen Pinson, Curator of Photography at the New York Public Library
Christina Seely is a photographer and educator based in the San Francisco Bay area. She currently teaches at California College of the Arts in the photography, interdisciplinary and graduate programs.

April 4th, Milwaukee: “Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows” A Lecture by Richard Cahan & Jeffrey Goldstein
Milwaukee, TALK 
Lecture by Richard Cahan & Jeffrey Goldstein,
Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows
Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 7:00 pm
Free and open to the public; seating is limited.
“Milwaukee, TALK welcomes Richard Cahan, co-author of Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows, and art collector Jeffrey Goldstein for its first in a series of visiting artist lectures. Vivian Maier, known as “the nanny photographer,” became an internet sensation after her work was put online soon after her death in 2009. Since then, Maier’s work has been shown throughout Europe and in major cities across the United States. Her story has been featured in major media outlets including NPR and The New York Times. Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows, released in October 2012, is the first book that tells her life story in pictures and words.
This book is based on the largely unseen collection of more than 16,000 Maier negatives purchased by Jeffrey Goldstein. Many of the images are from negatives that were only recently processed. Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows presents the first glimpse into the personal story behind the artist whose posthumous photographs went viral.”

April 5th, Lexington: Artist Talk by Martha Rosler

Artist Talk by Martha Rosler
Friday, April 5, 2013 at 4:00 pm
Free and open to the public.
“Whether working as a photographer, videographer, or writer, artist Martha Rosler has created startling and incisive commentaries on American culture for more than forty years. The roles of women, wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan, and the values of a consumer-driven society have provided rich grounds for exploration. Her performance in the 1975 video Semiotics of the Kitchen, in which she demonstrates the ABCs of domestic implements, is both hilariously deadpan and filled with rage. A pioneer in the use of found images, Rosler began her Bringing Home the War in the late 1960s after being struck by the juxtaposition of graphic photographs of war with ads for a new couch in a glossy magazine. She revived it during the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. “It wasn’t about contrasting two realities, but two world views: our ideal self and this other thing which was the unacceptable realities of another place,” she says.”

Art Talk with Frank Rodick and Katherine Ware
Sunday, March 24, 2013, 1:00-2:00 pm
Free and open to the public.
“Curator Katherine Ware and photographer Frank Rodick will discuss his current exhibition Selections from the exhibition Labyrinth of Desire.
The MAC is proud to exhibit selections from Labyrinth of Desire, an exhibition of photographs at the Deborah Colton Gallery, Houston in 2010 by Canadian artist Frank Rodick, curated by Katherine Ware. Labyrinth of Desire consists of a series of photographs created from 1991 to the present. Known for creating powerful, evocative, and sometimes controversial pictures, Rodick alters images into sequenced compositions that explore the complex realm of the human psyche. The juxtaposition of images mimics the imprecise and non-linear workings of our private thoughts, memories and desires. The photographs selected from the Labyrinth of Desire for exhibition at The MAC examine five bodies of work: Liquid City (1991-1999), sub rosa (1995-1997), Arena (2002-2005), Faithless Grottoes (2006-2008), and Revisitations (2009-current). Rodick says of his work, “what I’m looking for are images that feel more intimately real than our cursory experience of everyday life, images that give a voice to the worlds that live inside us and which somehow demand witness.”
The exhibition will be on view until May 1, 2013.
