WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath

June 29, 2013–September 29, 2013

This landmark exhibition revolutionizes our understanding of this momentous subject, immersing viewers in the experience of soldiers and civilians during wartime. Epic in scope and ambition, and featuring many of the most indelible photographs ever made, WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY takes us from the home front to the battlefield and back again.

NOW at the Corcoran – Ellen Harvey: The Alien’s Guide to the Ruins of Washington, D.C.

July 3, 2013–October 6, 2013

July 3-October 6, 2013

Ellen Harvey’s new project is a glimpse into a distant future in which aliens, enamored of classical architecture, have turned the uninhabited Earth into a prime tourist destination.  Including a printed guide to the ruins of Washington, D.C., an alien souvenir stand, and the very latest in neoclassical spaceship design, the exhibition slyly explores cross-cultural misunderstandings and the language of power.

 

NOW at the Corcoran – Mia Feuer: An Unkindness

November 2, 2013–February 23, 2014

November 2, 2013-February 23, 2014

An Unkindness brings together work from the past three years with a new project commissioned for the Gallery’s Rotunda and public spaces.  Inspired by a trip to the Canadian tar sands, Feuer’s project is a haunting vision of nature consumed, twisted, and transformed by human need.  “An unkindness,” which refers to a gathering of ravens, is one of the exhibition’s central images.
