“...True Pictures? responds to this state of affairs by presenting a more
open view of contemporary photography in North America. In line with the
artistic emancipation of photography in Europe, this exhibition identifies
the late 1970s as a starting point for a fundamental shift in the understanding
of photography in North America. The pictorial form of the large-format
tableau was “invented,” used for the first time by Jeff Wall with his
lightboxes. This exhibition focuses on the work of artists born between
1946 and 1989 and on the diverse, far-reaching consequences of this new
understanding of photography.”
