![]() ![]() Carrie Mae Weems and Laura Letinsky are two contemporary artists included in Modern Women/Modern Vision that use this space as a stage to explore ideas, emotions, and aspects of the human experience. A home is both a physical and emotional space-it serves our daily needs, houses our possessions, hosts our loved ones, and, no doubt, is witness to many emotions. Many of us have spent much more time than usual in our homes these past two years and possibly understand the role it plays in our lives better than ever. ![]() The immediacy of photography enables the possibility of capturing a spontaneous, fleeting moment but, several photographers in this section of the show push against that inherent characteristic of the medium and instead carefully construct scenes for the camera. The final section of the exhibition explores work from the 1980s onward. Modern Women/Modern Vision: Works from the Bank of America Collection, on view at the DAM through August 28, spotlights women photographers from approximately the past 100 years, highlighting photographs by over 50 artists that represent a range of approaches to the medium. ![]()
