Catherine Opie: Highschool Football
-

After capturing the essence of SoCal beach life with her surfer portrait series, photographer Catherine Opie tackles another bastion of American culture: high-school football. Opie once again deploys her stark style of portraiture to reveal the underpinnings of identity, gender, and community. This time, she focuses on adolescent boys making the awkward journey from childhood to manhood, with bad skin, weird hair growth, and every other gloriously embarassing badge of puberty. The ubiquity of high-school sports is a natural fit for Opie, whose work's poignancy is directly proportional to the banality of her subject matter.
Note: There will be an opening reception Thur Apr 10 (6-8pm).
