Girls’ Night Out
Girls’ Night Out presents groundbreaking photography and video by a new generation of woman artists from around the world who explore a more fluid and poetic approach to female identity. Classical genres such as portraiture (especially involving the passage from girlhood to adulthood), architectural subjects, and landscape inform their work. The results are evocative images of female strength, beauty, and individuality. Although influenced by the legacy of feminism and postmodernism, the conceptual and aesthetic stance of these artist reflects their distinct generational and cultural viewpoints.
