The photo exhibit In the Eye of the Beholder at Fitchburg Art Museum through Sept. 10 delves into the museum’s permanent collection to explore how photographers have used the “gendered gaze” across the early 20th and 21st centuries.
This exhibition highlights some of the museum’s iconic favorites and recent acquisitions—including work from Gertrude Kasebier, Cindy Sherman, and Yasumasa Morimura—to examine how power is embedded in the male and female gazes.
In the Eye of the Beholder further explores artists who experiment with or outright reject the gender binary, questioning and complicating methods of perceiving gender and its performance.
This is an ongoing exhibit that runs through Sept. 10
