Space/Sight/Self

The exhibition "Space/Sight/Self" was designed to study the role of portraiture in contemporary art as a nexus of three issues – identity, vision, and place. The goal was to produce a portrait, as it were, of contemporary portraiture. This catalog documents the exhibition and helps to facilitate viewers' reflections and responses about the spaces, sights, and selves that enable us to construct and question our identity.
