Performance, Activist, and Existential Photographs
September 2 - November 20

Ronald Feldman Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition:
Performance, Activist, and Existential Photographs
A selection of photographs and photo-based works by:
Vincenzo Agnetti, Elaine Angelopoulos, Eleanor Antin, Arakawa, Conrad Atkinson, Brandon Ballengée, Joseph Beuys, Chris Burden, Cassils, Chuck Close, Keith Cottingham, Terry Fox, Tom Friedman, Rico Gatson, Helen & Newton Harrison, Komar & Melamid, Lev Nisnevich, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray, Gerhard Richter, Cindy Sherman, Dmitry Shubin, Tavares Strachan, Diemut Strebe, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Eve Sussman, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Andy Warhol, Hannah Wilke
This selection is inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s belief that the concept behind the artwork is more important than its visual or material form. This radical shift away from materiality created a foundation for artists to challenge traditional artistic forms and practices and opened the door to bold new directions. All of the artists included use their work to probe into an array of subject matters, and often redefine art in the process. If approached with an open mind, the photographs invite and inspire viewers to question their own assumptions about what art is. This exhibition presents a cross-section of Ronald Feldman Gallery’s significant history and commitment to idea-driven work.
