Laura Letinsky (Canadian, b. 1962, lives and works in Chicago) is a lens-based artist whose still lifes have transformed the medium in the 20th century. Inserting the aftermath and the human presence into her layered, symbolically-charged still lifes, Letinsky interrogates both the meaning of domestic space and women’s role in it, and the indexical and representational power of photographs. Letinsky is a Guggenheim Fellow, and her work is held in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum; the Getty Museum; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and has been exhibited internationally.
Letinsky is the Museum’s 2023 Artist-in-Residence and will present a masterclass during her residency on how the camera shapes our understanding of the world.
The Artist-in-Residence program is generously supported by Mary Ann Schindler.
Through July 2, 2023
