The internationally acclaimed photographer Catherine Opie, whose work is featured in Degrees of Separation, adroitly balances the personal and the political, contemporary life and art historical precedents. Opie, a professor of photography at the university of California, Los Angeles, will discuss her provocative images and her interest in subcultures, women, and social constructs of identity. Melissa & Lake, Durham, North Carolina (1998, from the series “Domestic”) is a recent addition to SJMA’s collection.
