poster for John Wood "On the Edge of Clear Meaning"

This event has ended.

Photographic renegade John Wood (born 1922) challenged “pure photography” in the 1960s when he began to employ collage, cliché verre, solarization, and lithography in his work. Encompassing Wood’s career from the early 1960s to the present, the exhibition is the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date.

"John Wood: On the Edge of Clear Meaning" is organized by the Visual Studies Workshop in collaboration with George Eastman House and the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester. It is supported, in part, by a generous contribution from Alfred University. The exhibition's presentation at the Grey Art Gallery is made possible in part by the Abby Weed Grey Trust, the Ruth Davidson Abrams Endowment, and the Grey's Director's Circle,
Inter/National Council, and Friends.
