Catherine Opie: To Be Seen showcases photographic portraits by the American artist Catherine Opie. The exhibition, curated in collaboration with the artist, is the first major museum exhibition of her work in the UK. Opie’s work questions representations of home, intimacy and family, politics, identity and power structures. Over the past 30 years, Opie has explored and positioned the portrait in numerous contexts and visual formats. Conceptually rigorous and formally executed, her photographs make visible queer communities, mentors and collaborators, children, surfers, high school footballers, political crowds and Opie herself through self-portraiture.
