BECOMING: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE WEDGE COLLECTION Curated by Kenneth Montague MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART DETROIT September 12 - December 28, 2008 Becoming: Photographs from the Wedge Collection examines ways in which personal and cultural identity are created, challenged, or affirmed. Through portraiture, these works by artists from Canada, the United States, Africa and throughout the Diaspora, trace the evolving politics of representation. Whether documentation of an era or reflections on family histories, the images provide insights into the changing roles of the artist and subject. This exhibition includes historical and contemporary photography, and is curated by Kenneth Montague, Director of Wedge Curatorial Projects in Toronto.
