| Event Description |
Joseph Bellows Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming solo exhibition, Daily Self-Portraits by Melissa Shook.
In 1972, curious about the problem of identity, Shook began an ambitious project of photographing herself everyday for a year. The sum of this impressive undertaking resulted in a compelling set of intimately scaled black and white photographs that range from the artist performing for the camera, to the camera describing the physicality of her being. These early influential photographs will be complimented with a selection of recent daily photographs from 2014-15 that combine individual text entries with a self-portrait image; both text and image act as a diary, reflecting upon the complexities of the human condition. Along with her daily portraits, the gallery will be exhibiting a collection of her extended portrait of her daughter Krissy in her teen years, and a compilation of her video pieces. |
