A FEW FRAMES: PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE CONTACT SHEET

September 25, 2009–January 3, 2010

In this presentation of works from the permanent collection, the photographic contact or proof sheet with its apparent repetition is a recurring theme, its grid the underpinning for juxtapositions that may or may not have actually occurred as sequential exposures.
