Paul Mpagi Sepuya's “Darkroom Mirror” (2017) in his show “The Conditions” at Team Gallery
Department of Photography & Imaging alum Paul Mpagi Sepuya had his show reviewed in The New York Times Weekend Arts section. The article "New York Art Galleries: What to See Right Now" by Martha Schwendener compares Sepuya's images to "visual puzzles," saying that "while the history of representing bodies in photography — particularly nude ones — is fraught, Mr. Sepuya charges intrepidly into the mire, offering what feel like new, smart conclusions on how to represent power or vulnerability, as well as the unwavering desire to look at such images."
The show also received a write-up in The New Yorker: "Paul Mpagi Sepuya Mines the Queer History of the Portrait Studio"
The Conditions is on view at Team Gallery (83 Grand Street, NYC) through April 23, 2019.
