Photostory: Seeing and Being Seen

Curated by Catherine Crowston and organised by the Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA), Seeing and Being Seen is an exhibit that explores how women, as subjects of art, have been perceived by multifaceted gazes, and how those gazes have evolved over time. And it does so by focusing on “representations of women by women artists.” 

Induced by a recent donation of European and British prints to the AGA, it features a wide range of artists from around the world with artworks spanning over the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibit, as a whole, includes “portraits, self-portraits, figurative studies as well as scenes that depict some key moments in women’s lives, from girlhood to motherhood, of women both seeing and being seen.”
