The Uses of Photography examines a network of artists who were
active in Southern California between the late 1960s and early
1980s and whose experiments with photography opened the medium to a
profusion of new strategies and subjects. These artists introduced
urgent social issues and themes of everyday life into the seemingly
neutral territory of conceptual art, through photographic works
that took on hybrid forms, from books and postcards to video and
text-and-image installations. Tracing a crucial history of
photoconceptual practice, The Uses of Photography focuses on an
artistic community that formed in and around the young University
of California San Diego, founded in 1960, and its visual arts
department, founded in 1967. Artists such as Eleanor Antin, Allan
Kaprow, Fred Lonidier, Martha Rosler, Allan Sekula, and Carrie Mae
Weems employed photography and its expanded forms as a means to
dismantle modernist autonomy, to contest notions of photographic
truth, and to engage in political critique. The work of these
artists shaped emergent accounts of postmodernism in the visual
arts and their influence is felt throughout the global contemporary
art world today. Contributors include David Antin, Pamela M. Lee,
Judith Rodenbeck, and Benjamin J. Young. Published in association
with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Exhibition dates:
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego: September 24, 2016-January 2,
2017.
