Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing
Exhibition Dates: March 15, 2019 – May 27, 2019
Dorothea Lange (1895-1965) was an instrumental documentary photographer during the twentieth century. Her work focuses on issues ranging from poverty to women’s rights to the erosion of rural communities. There are over 150 objects in this exhibition, including modern and vintage photographs, letters, and a video.
Claudio Parmiggiani: Dematerialization
Exhibition Dates: February 2, 2019 – May 5, 2019
Frist Art Museum is the first in North American to present the works of Claudio Parmiggiani. Parmiggiani’s pieces are usually room-size installations or two- and three-dimensional. He is known for using his signature process, delocazione (displacement), where he arranges objects on his canvas of choice, lights a fire nearby, and allows soot, dust, and pigment to settle on the objects. He then removes the objects and leaves the silhouettes behind to create the final art piece.
