Fragile Freedoms: Maggie Meiners
Revisits Rockwell
February 7–June 13, 2021
As
timely and thought provoking as it gets. This exhibition
reimagines the iconic work of Norman Rockwell through the lens of
modern America. With stunningly vivid detail, Maggie Meiners’s
carefully constructed photographs turn nostalgia on its head and
rework Rockwell’s familiar imagery to address contemporary issues
including racism, sexuality, gender roles, and the impact of
technology.
