TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
STRIKE A POSE:
The Art of Self-Obsession
Dec 1, 2023 - Apr 29, 2024
The desire to leave a mark on the world and to chronicle our lives is not a new concept. Over the centuries we have recorded our likeness through drawings, portrait paintings, sculpture, and in the past 180 years, through photography. While cellphone cameras and social media have made portrait-making and sharing second nature, portraiture and selfies share a few common themes—the love of capturing memories and our desire to be remembered.
This exhibition shows how the people of Niagara-on-the-Lake documented themselves, either through painting and drawings, or photography and pixels.
