We took my parents to SF MoMA yesterday (thanks CM and JW!). Surprisingly, my favorite parts were the photography exhibits by Rineke Dijkstra and Francesca Woodman (I'm usually not too excited by photography). We were lucky to go when we did -- the Rineke Dijkstra exhibit had just opened and it was the last day of the Francesca Woodman one.
I was particularly drawn to the Francesca Woodman works because most of them were from her time as a student at RISD, from 1975-1978 (go Providence!). Sadly, she committed suicide a couple years later, at 22. Her works are mostly black and white photographs of herself in the nude. My mom found them "creepy." Which is precisely why I liked them.
