15 Minutes: Exposing Dimensions of Fame

April 16 - July 24, 2016 - This exhibiton opens with Meiji-era photographs and nineteenth-century cartes de visite to explore the way that photographs can distill and preserve identity and serve as placeholders for people, places, eras, and cultures.

The exhibition also investigates a modern network of cultural connections. There are links between individuals within the same social circle and links that span generations, proving an enduring impact within society. The concept of celebrity renews itself with each generation, retaining some aspects of the past while influencing the new.
