The politics of desire, in public and private, and the search for national, ethnic, and sexual identities are investigated throughout Composed, a permanent exhibition at The Jewish Museum. The show features seven photo-based contemporary artists. Using conventional forms of photography including, portraiture, photojournalism, and online profile pictures, the artists illuminate the complex identities of a wide range of characters, emphasizing stereotypes, in order to obscure individual differences.

Artists featured: Marc Adelman, Gloria Bornstein, AA Bronson, Debbie Grossman, Adi Nes, Collier Schorr, and Rona Yefman.

Collier Schorr appeared in Aperture issue 202 and The New York Times Magazine Photographs.

Widely acclaimed artists Collier Schorr and Roe Etheridge, founders of Primary Information James Hoff and Miriam Katzeff will be featured on a panel this Wednesday to discuss and consider the future of the photograph in print, moderated by  artist, critic and founding editor of Influence Magazine, Gil blank .

The panel, entitled Open Cover Before Striking, Confounding Expectations is presented by Aperture, the photography department in the School of Art, Media and Technology at Parsons and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School.
