PHILADELPHIA, PA.- Images of women by women are presented in the latest exhibition organized by The Galleries at Moore. IN REPOSE features eighteen women artists whose work in photography, video, sculpture, performance, and sound boldly explores femininity, identity, and sexuality. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Friday, January 25 from 6 to 8pm and remains on view through March 14, 2008.

Drawn from the collection of internationally known Miami Beach collectors Dennis and Debra Scholl, IN REPOSE includes iconic figures, such as Janine Antoni, Mariko Mori, Catherine Opie, Pipilotti Rist, Carolee Schneemann and Cindy Sherman, whose photography, film and performance work from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s represents the historical context for much of the art in the exhibition. Also included are members of the current generation of artists, such as Tanyth Berkeley, Rineke Dijkstra, Trisha Donnelly, Naomi Fisher, Jenny Gage, Anna Gaskell, Kim Gordon, Katy Grannan, Melanie Schiff, Meredyth Sparks, Helen Van Meene, and Bettina Von Zwehl, who use traditional genres of self-portraiture, portraiture, narrative, and landscape to probe definitions of beauty, celebrity and notions of identity and its relation to the uncertain territory between adolescence and adulthood.
