The 16 solo shows include the work of the American
photographer David Lachapelle who dissects
fashion, pop culture, and gender, at the
Staley-Wise Gallery (D40). There is also
Argentinian Alberto Greco, whose series
Alberto Greco in Piedralaves marks a break
in the conceptual art movement of the 1960s;
master performer, he transforms his everyday
life into a work of art (on display at the
Del Infinito Gallery, D11). Caroline Smulders
(A31) turns her attention to the American
avant-garde, with Gérard Malanga,
Andy Warhol’s principal collaborator
from 1963 to 1970, showing for the first
time a series of nudes began in 1975. Lastly,
not to be missed is the series Mectoub—portraits
challenging male identity in the Middle
East and North Africa—made by Scarlett
Coten, winner of the 2016 Leica Oskar Barnack
Award.
