John Stezaker<\/h2>\n

at Kemper Museum<\/h2>\n

January 27 to April 23, 2012<\/h2>\n

John Stezaker is organized by the Whitechapel Gallery, London, and Mudam, Luxembourg. The St. Louis exhibition is coordinated by Karen K. Butler, assistant curator. It is the first US museum exhibition of this influential artist\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

\"\"Breaking through the onslaught of images in contemporary culture, John Stezaker (b. 1949) subverts the familiar through collage in a way that is at once captivating and unsettling. The exhibition reveals his lifelong fascination with the potent force of images, showcasing his investigations into the ways visual language can create meanings that vary dramatically according to context. Stezaker transforms classic movie stills and vintage postcards, magazines, and book illustrations by inverting, slicing, and combining them to challenge and complicate the original connotations. With over ninety works on paper from the 1970s to today, John Stezaker offers an in-depth survey of the artist\u2019s ability to produce compelling new images by juxtaposing disparate images from found photographs.<\/p>\n
