  • A photograph of three women sitting around a table. They appear to be preforming or magic of some kind. Their eyes are closed and mouths are open as if they are chanting. Their beaded necklaces float in the air, off of their necks.

About

Photographs that startle, disturb, and cause one to question are the subjects of this exhibition, which was organized by Virginia Beahan and Brian Miller, two professors who teach in Dartmouth College's Studio Art Department. Surveying the museum's collection, they selected both black-and-white and color photographs that push boundaries of medium and subject. Works in the exhibition span the second half of the twentieth century to the present day and include photographs by such artists as Fiona Foley, Tierney Gearon, Luis Gispert, Susan Meiselas, Gary Schneider, and Francesca Woodman.

This exhibition was organized by the Hood Museum of Art and was generously supported by Rona and Jeff Citrin '80 and the William Chase Grant 1919 Memorial Fund.
