    Uta Barth: In Between Places

    Lower Level Galleries
    November 09, 2000 — January 21, 2001
    Compelling in its deceptive simplicity, Uta Barth’s art questions the traditional functions of pictures and our expectations of them. By photographing in ordinary places and in simple rooms and landscapes, Barth uses what is familiar to shift attention from subject matter to a consciousness of the processes of perception and the visceral and intellectual pleasures of seeing. In Between Places, the first museum survey of Uta Barth’s career, included seven important projects made between 1989 and 2000, a period during which Barth had gained international acclaim for her ground-breaking work. The first comprehensive book on Barth’s work, Uta Barth: In Between Places, accompanied the exhibition.
