ZOE LEONARD
Zoe Leonard
Zoe Leonard: Survey is the first large-scale overview of the artist’s work in an American museum. The exhibition, now at the The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, looks across Leonard’s career to highlight her engagement with a range of themes, including gender and sexuality, loss and mourning, migration, displacement, and the urban landscape. More than it focuses on any particular subject, however, Leonard’s work slowly and reflectively calibrates vision and form. Using repetition, subtle changes of perspective, and shifts of scale, Leonard draws viewers into an awareness of the meanings behind otherwise familiar images or objects. A counter-example to the speed and disposability of image culture today, Leonard’s photographs, sculptures, and installations ask the viewer to reengage with how we see. Zoe Leonard: Survey will be on view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA until March 25, 2019.
