So the Story Goes: Photographs by Tina Barney, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan
Photography has always been the perfect medium for recording one's life. Contemporary artists Tina Barney, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, and Larry Sultan use their daily experiences as their inspiration and offer viewers a glimpse into their private realities. Just as no two people keep the same diary, each of these five photographers has created highly personal, shifting, and intriguing visions of his or her life.

Charles Sheeler: Across Media will be the first exhibition to focus exclusively on the complex and often paradoxical relationships among photography, film, drawing, and painting that were so central to the art of Charles Sheeler (1883-1965), one of the most important painters and photographers in 20th-century American art.

Registration for this event will begin on October 3. Registration by individuals or classes is required to attend. E-mail unight@artic.edu or leave a message at (312) 857-7182 with your name, e-mail address, and school affiliation. Attendance is limited to students and faculty with school ID.
