Taryn Simon: Photographs and Texts
OPENS THURS, SEPT 22, 2011
Explore the ambitious works of this internationally acclaimed artist whose images and writings highlight the illusion of photographic transparency, and the fallacy of comprehension that it invites. “With the tenacious sleuthing sensibility of an investigative reporter and a keen eye for the resonantly offbeat, Taryn Simon has spent the past decade turning her lens toward the forbidden and the forgotten, producing documentary photographs paired with concise factual texts.” —Jeffrey Kastner, Artforum Gallery Talk: Tues, Sept 27, 1:30 p.m.
Coffee, Art, and Conversation Series: Sat, Oct 1,
10:30 a.m.–noon
