About this event
What happens when a two-dimensional image escapes the bounds of the frame, the scrapbook, or the screen? Material as Witness explores the photograph as object, with its own material sensibility and narrative. Objects can trigger powerful emotions and memories, and materials carry their own associations based on tactile properties or cultural significance. The artists in the exhibition engage in image-making, in a truly hands-on sense, to subvert (or amplify) the power attributed to photos as documentary evidence and bearers of truth. Featuring Amy Yoshitsu, dani lopez, Gabby Severson, Lucy Puls, Sam Kober, Sarah Sanford, & Shirin Towfiq Curated by Rena Tom
