Looking In: Photography from the Outside – Laura Gilpin (2020)

Video (6:35): curator Kristen Gaylord zooms in on photographer Laura Gilpin on today’s Cooped Up with the Carter Museum with a tour of works from “Looking In: Photography from the Outside.” Discover how Laura Gilpin and her partner Betsy Forster ended up visiting a Navajo Nation which lead Laura’s photographic journey in a new direction. In the exhibition we see her to photographs of close Diné (Navajo) friends in the southwestern United States.

Looking In: Photography from the Outside examines the way artists have photographed groups they are not part of. It takes an in-depth look at series by six important 20th-century artists who navigated their role as “outsider” differently, raising complicated questions about perception, representation, and power.
