Dress Codes: The Third ICP Triennial of Photography and Video October 2, 2009–January 17, 2010

Fashion can be high and low. On the one hand, it can be a reflection of personal identity and self-expression. It can also be a reflection of much broader political, cultural or religious trends. How do the pieces in this exhibit relate to your understanding of fashion? Is fashion art?

Reflections on the Electric Mirror: New Feminist Video May 1, 2009–January 10, 2010
What are some of the themes that run through this exhibit? What is the history of video as an art form? How does it relate and differ from other creative mediums? Think about the relationship between video art and television. What about the title of the exhibition - how do these artists treat video like a mirror? What issues does this strategy help them to explore?
