Framing Identity
For Women’s History Month, four artists considered identity as both intimate and universal: a visual language shaped by personal history, culture, social structures, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
In celebration of Women's History Month, LOS/NR is proud to present the work of four impressive women artists tackling the subject of identity and how to navigate interplay between the intimate and the universal exploration of what defines us. Curated by our guest curator, Caleb Cain Marcus, this exhibition showcases collaborative artists Katie Hargrave and Meredith Laura Lynn, photographer Hannah Altman, and painter Jennifer Ruth Evans. The question of where self comes from has intrigued us for generations and theories have been established from Jung’s archetypes to Freud’s id, ego and superego to explain who we are and how self develops. The artists in this exhibition use the visual medium to explore personal, cultural and societal constructs of self. Their work unfolds as storytelling that investigates identity to spark a dialogue and foster deeper understanding of ourselves and our meaning. The artists will also have their recent monographs available for purchase during the exhibition.
