Jim Dine's Photographic Unconscious at MEP
A retrospective of Jim Dine's photographic work, produced since 1995, is on view at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris from June 25 to September 7, 2003. Dine is widely known as a performer alongside Claes Oldenburg in the 1960s, and as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker creating installations with recurring motifs such as hearts, bathrobes, crows, skulls, and tools. His photographic oeuvre, however, is less familiar, though examples were shown at MEP in 1998 and at Galerie Templon in 2000. The current exhibition provides an opportunity for art press to revisit this aspect of the artist's inventive and productive practice.
