As part of the FotoFest 2010 Biennial, this exhibition examines, on a global scope, the course of post-1960 photography. Nearly 200 images selected from the acclaimed MFAH photography collection explore new directions and approaches in photographic media that emerged in response to artistic movements such as Conceptualism and performance art. Many of the works are shown for the first time at the MFAH.
Ruptures and Continuities is organized according to five thematic sections: self-performance; directorial mode and constructed environments; the transformation of the city; new landscape; and memory and archive. More than 80 artists from 20 countries are represented, including Lewis Baltz, William Eggleston, Gordon Matta-Clark, Richard Misrach, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, and Andy Warhol.
Ruptures and Continuities: Photography Made after 1960 from the MFAH Collection is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
