DESCRIPTION:Apr 29 - Jul 31\, 2026\nAt 13\, Francesca Woodman’s father ga
 ve her one of his cameras to take to boarding school\, where she began tak
 ing photographs in earnest and quickly mastered the medium\, shooting and\
 , crucially\, developing her work. From 1975 to 1978\, Woodman attended th
 e Rhode Island School of Design\, in Providence. But even before she got t
 o Rhode Island\, Woodman was producing highly accomplished artworks. Her e
 arly death\, at 22\, was devastating to family and friends\, and a loss fo
 r art. Woodman brought together all kinds of ideas and references from art
  history\, including chiaroscuro and iconographic imagery. Transforming on
 e form into another was a preoccupation\, and there is a metaphysical qual
 ity to her work. She often starred in her photographs\, treating her own b
 ody as subject\, object\, sculpture\, succubus\, ghost. Frequently situate
 d at the heart of the image\, Woodman plays peekaboo with the camera\, her
  audience\, herself. Questions of presence and absence prevail. Indeed\, s
 he embodies the spirit of art-school cool—or perhaps\, in a twist\, unco
 ol\, as she was known to be intense. Woodman continues to seek out our att
 ention. Her naked form is irresistible to the gaze\, and her confrontation
 al push at the boundaries—that incredible vitality—is barely contained
  by the paper it’s printed on. She’s the ultimate gothic heroine. Focu
 sing on her affinities with Surrealism\, this exhibition features nearly 5
 0 prints Woodman made during her lifetime\, many of which have never previ
 ously been exhibited.
