The Itinerant Languages of Photography
Open now through January 19, 2014
In an age of digital photography, when the production and dissemination of images occurs almost instantaneously, The Itinerant Languages of Photography offers a new history of photography by exploring the movement of photography as disembodied images across time and space, as well as across the boundaries of media and genres. The exhibition features more than 85 photographs from collections in Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States from the nineteenth century to today, including works by artists such as Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Joan Fontcuberta, Graciela Iturbide, and Tina Modotti.

New Jersey as Non-Site
October 5, 2013 to January 5, 2014
In ways largely unacknowledged until now, New Jersey was the site of and catalyst for major breakthroughs in the genres of Pop, conceptual, performance, land and black art throughout the post-World War II era. Between 1950 and 1975, some of the era's most innovative artists flocked to the state's more remote peripheries, where they produced some of the most important work of their careers. New Jersey as Non-Site includes over 100 works by sixteen of these artists including Amiri Baraka, George Brecht, Nancy Holt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Smithson, and George Segal who help us understand art making during this critical era in a new light.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres: "Untitled"

The billboard is a vernacular format that the Cuban-born American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres (19571996) repurposed in an effort to engage diverse audiences and expand the public function of art. "I need the public to complete the work," he stated, "to become part of my work, to join in." This fall, the Museum will install one of Gonzalez-Torres's billboards in locations around the greater Princeton area, including the plaza just outside its front door. Created at the height of the AIDS crisis, it features a haunting image of an empty bed, evoking the tensions and emotions between intimacy and publicity, loss and desire.
