Hillyer Art Space and Washington Project for the Arts

November-December 2008

Known Unknowns

Hillyer Art Space and Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) in conjunction with FotoWeek DC are proud to present Known Unknowns, a group photography exhibition curated by Amanda Maddox, Assistant Curator of Photography and Media at the Corcoran College of Art + Design. Taking its title from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s infamous phrase, the exhibition considers how the medium itself indicates that photographic representations cannot stand as forms of verification. It brings together four local artists—Avi Gupta, Kate MacDonell, Sandra Rottmann, and Christopher Saah—whose work explores some of the complications and contradictions involved in treating photography as evidence.
