From his early days as a photo-journalist and documentarian, the esteemed Mexican photographer Pedro Meyer tested the boundaries of truth, fiction and reality. He was among the first photographers in the world to embrace digital photography and to begin manipulating digital imagery in the early 1990s. This retrospective exhibition of his groundbreaking artwork is equally experimental: Meyer coordinated this project to occur concurrently at 60 museums around the world, from Brazil to Croatia to China. SMoCA is the only venue in the Southwest.
Organized by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Guest-curated by Lara Taubman.
Related public programs guest-curated by April Bojorquez.
Sponsored by Kathy and Stephen Woodward; an anonymous donor; Alice and David Olsan and the SMoCA Salon.
