Project Gallery.
January 29, 2010 – May 23, 2010.

In Lorraine O’Grady’s own words, Miscegenated Family Album (1994) is a “novel in space.” Installed as a series of 16 photo-based diptychs, the work began as a memorial to her older sister Devonia, who died unexpectedly at the age of 37, while the two were estranged.

Lorraine O’Grady’s exhibition is one of six exhibitions focused on the metaphysics of the human figure grouped under the title 'Looking for the Face I Had Before the World Was Made.' Each of the artists explores how depicting the human figure can offer something more consequential than a simple catalogue of physical features.
