Press Release:  "Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of never before seen work by photographer Catherine Opie. Since garnering attention in the early 1990s for arresting portraiture of her friends and partners in the gay, lesbian, and trans leather community, Opie's work has moved across genres to capture unique visions of the varied individuals and communities that comprise the diversity of American culture. Each time she approaches a new subject, be it California surfers or her recent body of work focusing on high school football teams, Opie creates photographs that are both beautiful and innovative visions and insightful portraits of the social contexts she explores.

Pedagogy

"I've come to regard the production of aesthetic meaning and value as a collective enterprise ... as the product of a group of ... curators, art  historians, caption writers, preparators, docents, lecturers and even dealers and collectors ... acting together (and not necessarily consciously in concert) to produce what we think of as being the meaning of the work of art, and the value of the work of art" [1] - Craig Owens
