Today, photographs are ubiquitous and often accepted as straight-forward documents of the observed world. Experiments in Photography focuses on 20th- and 21st-century artists who have pushed the boundaries of photography in myriad ways. From photograms, multiple exposures, solarized images, and chemical experiments of the early 20th century through contemporary practice in a broad range of approaches, including untraditional processes and digital techniques, this exhibition explores images
that have a complex relationship to objective reality. Featured artists include Harry Callahan, Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Abelardo Morell, Lucas Samaras, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Edmund Teske, and many others.
