Claude Cahun and After @ dnj Gallery
Clay Lipsky
“Claude Cahun and After”
September 7 – October 26, 2013
RECEPTION: Saturday, September 7, 6 – 8 pm
The exhibition begins with four vintage prints by the famed early twentieth century photographer, Claude Cahun. Working during the troubled interwar period in Europe, Cahun was one of the first female photographers to use portraits, often of herself, to explore notions of identity and gender. Cahun’s images serve as a point of departure for assembling five contemporary photographers who explore their own struggles with the concept of self. All of the artists contend with identities from different social classes and geographic environments, extend their temporal range into the past and future, and transform themselves or others to express concepts of sexuality, gender, beauty, and hope.
