Taken in Sherman's studio—where she creates her famous self-portraits in private, away from prying eyes—the photographs show the artist out of costume and without makeup, wearing a Nehru-collared shirt. These affectless portraits present Sherman as an androgynous mannequin, awaiting the transformations of her art—a fictional take on the lively Sherman that still somehow rings of truth.Read Less

Warren Neidich is an interdisciplinary artist whose work transcends aesthetic theory and engages outside fields such as sociology, politics, and cognitive neuroscience. A writer, curator, and organizer, Neidich's work regularly employs participatory elements, such as his recent politically-charged installation, Book Exchange, in which gallery visitors were invited to take a book that had allegedly been censored in exchange for one of their own books, but only one with a red book jacket or cover.
While Neidich's work draws heavily from a variety of academic disciplines, it also reflects the artist's interest in public space and communications. He recently embarked on a year-long exploration of the parking lot as a canvas with artist Elena Bajo. He is also working on a project to subvert advertising tools by displaying neon signs of deadpan art slogans in well-trafficked outdoor plazas. Read Less
