This survey of Lyle Ashton Harris’s art spans nearly twenty years of work, from the early, formal studio self-portraits for which he first gained acclaim to the large-scale constructions featured in the 2007 Venice Biennale. Harris approaches photography as social performance. He “blows up” preconceptions of portraiture, mass media imagery and street photography. Harris zeroes in on the viewer’s role as a reader of images-images that are also evidence in one’s sense of self, gender and race.
Lyle Ashton Harris Blow Up is organized by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and sponsored by Mikki and Stanley Weithorn, Yvette Craddock, Janis Leonard Design Associates and Linda and Sherman Saperstein.
UB Art Gallery is funded by the UB College of Arts and Sciences, the Visual Arts Building Fund, the Seymour H. Knox Foundation Fine Arts Fund, and the Fine Arts Center Endowment.
