Details:
This exhibition of more than 40 portraits from the George Eastman House photography collection explores particular ways gender has been presented to the camera with a special emphasis on the performative aspects that photography encourages. Many of the ways we identify and define gender are based on visual clues. They may be such secondary sexual characteristics as facial hair or its lack, or they may be culturally determined elements such as costume, stance or activities. Male & Female will survey photography from the 19th century to the present and will show not only instances of exaggerated and stereotyped male and female difference but also images of ambiguous and deceptive gender. The exhibition will include work by recognized photographic artists as well vernacular examples in the forms of cabinet cards from an extensive series depicting early vaudeville and music hall stars.

Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. “Frankly, my dear, this is one funny play...a rip-roaring farce.” — NY Daily News

Details:
This exhibition of more than 40 portraits from the George Eastman House photography collection explores particular ways gender has been presented to the camera with a special emphasis on the performative aspects that photography encourages. Many of the ways we identify and define gender are based on visual clues. They may be such secondary sexual characteristics as facial hair or its lack, or they may be culturally determined elements such as costume, stance or activities. Male & Female will survey photography from the 19th century to the present and will show not only instances of exaggerated and stereotyped male and female difference but also images of ambiguous and deceptive gender. The exhibition will include work by recognized photographic artists as well vernacular examples in the forms of cabinet cards from an extensive series depicting early vaudeville and music hall stars.

More recently, the masks that the luchadores wear have become iconic symbols of Mexican and Mexican-American culture. The exhibition will feature photographs, video clips, and fan memorabilia.

Details:
This exhibition of more than 40 portraits from the George Eastman House photography collection explores particular ways gender has been presented to the camera with a special emphasis on the performative aspects that photography encourages. Many of the ways we identify and define gender are based on visual clues. They may be such secondary sexual characteristics as facial hair or its lack, or they may be culturally determined elements such as costume, stance or activities. Male & Female will survey photography from the 19th century to the present and will show not only instances of exaggerated and stereotyped male and female difference but also images of ambiguous and deceptive gender. The exhibition will include work by recognized photographic artists as well vernacular examples in the forms of cabinet cards from an extensive series depicting early vaudeville and music hall stars.

Calendar: MAG
Event Location: Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607
Cost: Free with Gallery admission.
To Get More Info: 585-276-8900


Details:
Far from simple exercises in geometric patterning, the 25 quilts in this exhibition represent a free-wheeling tradition in which improvisation, asymmetry, and experimentation are the norm. Selected by Janet Berlo, University of Rochester professor of art history, from the collection of the International Quilt Study Center, these quilts explore the once-radical proposition that some 19th-century American women were “painting with fabric.” Ranging in date from about 1825 to 1999, the quilts were made by artists both known and unknown, all of whom share an essential quality: the desire to push the boundaries of their medium in their own time.

This exhibition was organized by the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In Rochester, it is underwritten by Lynne Lovejoy.

Wild by Design: Two Hundred Years of Innovation and Artistry in American Quilts
Calendar: MAG
Event Location: Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607
Cost: Free with Gallery admission.
To Get More Info: 585-276-8900


Details:
Far from simple exercises in geometric patterning, the 25 quilts in this exhibition represent a free-wheeling tradition in which improvisation, asymmetry, and experimentation are the norm. Selected by Janet Berlo, University of Rochester professor of art history, from the collection of the International Quilt Study Center, these quilts explore the once-radical proposition that some 19th-century American women were “painting with fabric.” Ranging in date from about 1825 to 1999, the quilts were made by artists both known and unknown, all of whom share an essential quality: the desire to push the boundaries of their medium in their own time.

This exhibition was organized by the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In Rochester, it is underwritten by Lynne Lovejoy.
