Themes of dislocation and displacement in contemporary photography are explored in this exhibition of works from the collection. Perambulations and digressions in photographic works from the 1960s and 1970s by Vito Acconci, Ed Ruscha, Richard Long, and On Kawara, and a 1968 video by Bruce Nauman, show how a work of art—cut loose from any specific medium or physical requirements—could take the form of a walk, a 20–foot–long book, or a rigorously nonsensical pattern of movements.After two decades of artists focusing on serial images and low–tech experimentation, the highly produced, singular photograph began to regain prominence in the 1980s.

Exhibition is @ Joyce and Robert Menschel Hall for Modern Photography, 2nd floor.
