Artcritical Archives Feature Hammer Photography Show, Realist Painter Exhibition, and Knitted Superhero Suits
The Hammer Museum is currently hosting a photography exhibit that looks at how portrait art has changed over the last forty years. There’s also a solo exhibition by a realist painter that addresses themes of subordination without using explicit sexual imagery. Another artist is showcasing knitted bodysuits that challenge traditional superhero concepts and question gender roles in art. Additionally, a traveling retrospective flips personal stories into political art through striking visuals. Artcritical has interviews with David Cohen featuring discussions on various artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Stan Douglas, and others.
