'Sad Dreams on Cold Mornings' (from the series Dreams and Nightmares),1971
We are delighted to see Joanne Leonard's work,"Sad Dreams on Cold Mornings" featured at the SFMOMA in their exhibition 'Assembled Realities'.
'When we see photographs, we often read them as true depictions of reality. But from
the earliest years of photography, artists have used a variety of techniques to
manipulate and augment our perception of the world. This selection of artworks ranging
from the 1920s to the early 2000s offers a glimpse into the experimental ways
photographers create impossible realities. Vertiginous architectural layers, dreamlike
rooms, and surreal compositions of distorted facades demonstrate that photography can
offer an uncanny experience. The photographers featured here collaged materials,
overlaid transparencies onto prints, or produced montages from multiple negatives to
disrupt our expectations and encourage us to ponder these strange scenes.'
The exhibition will be on view unitl June 6 2025.
