Zoe Strauss: Ten Years January 14, 2012 — April 22, 2012
Zoe Strauss: Ten Years is a mid-career retrospective of the acclaimed photographer’s work and the first critical assessment of her ten-year project to exhibit her photographs annually in a space beneath a section of Interstate-95 (I-95) in South Philadelphia. Strauss’s subjects are broad but her primary focus is on working-class experience, including the most disenfranchised people and places. Her photographs offer a poignant, troubling portrait of contemporary America.
Do you know her work?
You should.
The work of Eva Hesse born today in 1936. Her work is as fresh today as it was then. If you don’t know her work take the time to learn about this artist who died too soon.
