DESCRIPTION:Missed the Summer Series Lecture? Watch the full livestream recording here. Catherine Opie: (b. 1961\, Sandusky\, OH\; lives in Los Angeles) is known for her powerfully dynamic photography that examines the ideals and norms surrounding the culturally constructed American dream and American identity. She first gained recognition in the 1990s for her series of studio portraits\, photographing gay\, lesbian\, and transgender individuals drawn from her circle of friends and artists. Opie has traveled extensively across the country exploring the diversity of America’s communities and landscapes\, documenting quintessential American subjects—high school football players and the 2008 presidential inauguration—while also continuing to display America’s subcultures through formal portraits. Using dramatic staging\, Opie presents queer and trans bodies in intimate photographs that evoke traditional Renaissance portraiture—images of power and respect. In her portraits and landscapes\, Opie establishes a level of ambiguity of both identity and place by exaggerating masculine or feminine characteristics\, or by exaggerating distance\, cropping\, or blurring her landscapes. Dawoud Bey: Groundbreaking American artist and MacArthur Fellow Dawoud Bey examines the Black past and present. His photographs and film installations engage the oft disappeared histories of the Black presence in America. Bey began his career as a photographer in 1975 with a series of photographs\, “Harlem\, U.S.A\,\,” that were exhibited to critical acclaim in his first one-person exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 1979. His work has since been the subject of numerous major museum and gallery exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe\, with works held in numerous public collections.
