Spanning early jazz, New York hip hop, British punk, European techno, and other musical movements,Studio to Stage examines the ways that photographers have helped cultivate mythologies around performers and their respective scenes. The legendary venues and audiences of the depicted concerts, festivals, and other performances are also key in the stories told in the photographs on view.

The Dress Code program brings together around forty artists who suggest singular views on identity and clothing around the world. Clothing is representative of an aspect of identity, it can arouse desire by sublimating the human body, notably through ornament, but it can also reveal codes and standards. Dress codes allow for integration into society or, on the opposite side, rejection, emancipation and also protest.

Thomas Dane Gallery is proud to announce the gallery’s second exhibition of works by Catherine Opie. Considered one of the leading American photographers of her generation, Opie’s work encompasses social documentary, portraiture, abstraction and political landscapes. This group of works, made over the course of the last ten years, acts as both a literal and metaphorical framework for reflection: on the artist’s personal life and place in the world; but also on collective responsibility; the fragility of humanity; and on how to move forward whilst faced with the potentially devastating challenges of climate change and the erasure of personal and political freedoms.
