Week 015: one two & three

ONE*
Katharina Bosse: a Portrait of the artist as a Young Mother
January 10, 2009 - March 7, 2009
galerie anne barrault


"This new series by Katharina Bosse, disquieting and daring, reveals, with humour and boldness, this multi-faceted, extremely complex, underestimated process : the birth of a mother."

TWO**
Reality Check: Truth and Illusion in Contemporary Photography
November 4, 2008 - March 22, 2009
The Metropolitan Museum of Art


"This installation of works from the permanent collection—the third in the Museum’s new gallery for contemporary photographs—surveys the ways in which artists exploit photography’s fundamental illusionism to create a sense of ambiguity about what is real and what is not. Among the works featured are photographs of staged scenarios or constructed environments that appear to be real, as well as real scenes or landscapes that appear strangely artificial. Artists include James Casebere, Gregory Crewdson, Robert Gober, David Levinthal, Vik Muniz, Stephen Shore, and Taryn Simon, among others."
