About
Marcia Resnick was one of the most ambitious and innovative American photographers of the 1970s. Combining social critique with poignant, often humorous performance, her photographs explore—in a conceptual vernacular—aesthetic, social, and political issues at once timely and timeless. A part of the now-mythic creative community in Downtown New York, she created work that challenged traditional ideas about what a photograph could be. This exhibition brings together for the first time her extraordinary photographs from this period.
This exhibition was organized by the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the George Eastman Museum. The Elizabeth B. G. Hamlin Fund and Mary G. O'Connell ’76 and Peter J. Grua ’76 supported its presentation at the ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Museum of Art.
