The exhibition features Milan’s ongoing series “Death, Wine, Revolt,” which combines photography, drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture to explore themes of over-indulgence, destruction, and revolution.

ON THE ROAD
ONLINE VIEWING ROOM 30 Jul - 7 Sep 2020 On The Road is a celebration of the American road and the mythic role it has played in photography. Sheltered in place and longing for road trips, we are inspired by our artists’ ongoing interest in roads, both as visual phenomena and metaphors. In a time of unprecedented immobility, these photographs from the past 60 years explore a range of approaches to the American landscape and its relationship to the car. We hope they evoke a sense of adventure, independence, and camaraderie. Read more -

HIROSHI SUGIMOTO: OPTICKS
ONLINE VIEWING ROOM 2 Apr - 15 Aug 2020 Over more than four decades, Hiroshi Sugimoto has explored the ways photography can be used to record traces of invisible but elemental forces. Opticks is a new series of large-scale color photographs depicting the color of light Sugimoto observed through a prism in his Tokyo studio. Using Polaroid film, he recorded sections of the rainbow spectrum projected into a darkened chamber, paying particular attention to the spaces and gaps between hues. Opticks presents unique enlargements of these Polaroids. Read more
