Don’t miss this comprehensive, career-spanning survey of influential artist Cindy Sherman—on view at the Wex on its only stop outside of LA, and only there through the end of the year. Occupying both sides of the camera, Sherman continues to raise crucial questions about the pervasive influence of mass media in constructing identity—and particularly the representation of women—and about the very nature of artistic creation.

Fee:

$8 general public; $6 senior citizens (65 and older); $6 Ohio State faculty and staff (with BUCK ID)

Featuring nearly 100 works and exploring the role of cinema in her practice, Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life spans everything from the artist’s iconic Untitled Film Stills (1977–80) to her 2016 series in which she takes on the guise of aging Hollywood divas. The exhibition includes Sherman’s comedy/horror film Office Killer (1997), and is enhanced by a free, celebrity-studded audio guide (featuring the voices of Molly Ringwald and John Waters, among others).

Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life concludes a year in which every artist featured in our galleries is a woman.

In a romp through the last half of the 20th century, Heidi Holland tries to find her bearings in a rapidly changing world. She watches her friends of the 1960s move from idealism and political radicalism through militant feminism and, eventually, back to the materialism they once rejected. Can her liberation be achieved? Only if she can be true to herself. The Heidi Chronicles by Wendy Wasserstein was the 1989 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award. CAUTION: STRONG LANGUAGE.
