Carolyn Marks Blackwood The Story Series
March 10–May 12, 2024
With large-scale and mysterious photographs, screenwriter
and film producer Carolyn Marks Blackwood invites the
viewer to participate in the creation of meaning. By
associating brief caption lines with images of deserted
streets, isolated forests, and houses lit from within, visitors
are encouraged to supply their own narrative inspired by
their unique experiences. Both haunting and profound, The
Story Series provides an opportunity for creative engagement
and deep reflection.

 
Suzanne Benton: Unmasked

Pioneering feminist artist Suzanne Benton has a career spanning nearly seven decades and extending to 32 countries. Suzanne Benton: Unmasked celebrates her legacy of feminist activism by presenting female figures from myth and history in her signature welded-metal masks and color-rich monoprints. Telling the stories of influential women across time and space, this exhibition highlights the contributions of women to global history.
