Exhibition Overview

The definition of a photograph and its relationship to other visual art forms has undergone enormous changes since the invention of photography in the 19th century. The work of four female artists鈥擩enn De Palma, Ding Ren, Siobhan Rigg, and Sandra Rottmann鈥攔epresents this ongoing dialog about craft, authenticity, the role of the artist, and other concerns that embody today's definition of photography and it's varied uses within contemporary art practices. Some Uses of Photography is curated by Phyllis Rosenzweig.
