Denise Bibro Fine Art is pleased to present Disturbing the Peace, a photography exhibit by 10 artists whose works address a range of political questions that cause disruptions to the peace and tranquility of the status quo, transgress accepted boundaries, challenge established authority, and/or reinterpret histories. “Disturbing the Peace,” the show’s title, is also a reference to the frequent charges faced by women who are arrested for political protest, unruly behavior, prostitution and other unlawful activities.
Exhibiting artists are Susan Meiselas, Martha Rosler, Pat Ward Williams, Connie Samaras, Clarissa Sligh, Donna Ferrato, Deborah Bright, Joanne Leonard, Holly Hughes and Carol Jacobsen.

Pat Ward Williams’ recent exhibitions include the Whitney Biennial, the International Center for Photography, Johannesburg Biennale, and others. Carol Jacobsen has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Paul Robeson Foundation, Women in Film Foundation, and others. She is represented by Denise Bibro Fine Art.

Joanne Leonard’s work has been featured in Janson’s History of Art, Gardener’s Art Through the Ages, Women of Photography and others.

Art Reviews of Disturbing the Peace
| New York Times May 26, 2006 | Holland Cotter | ""Disturbing the Peace,'' an all-women, all-photography group show, is a contrarian take on the subject of crime and punishment. Martha Rosler brings Abu Ghraib into the suburban living room; Deborah Bright shoots Plymouth Rock behind bars. Holly Hughes, Joanne Leonard and Susan Meiselas consider, in very different ways, the binds entailed in sexual role-playing. Clarissa Sligh and Pat Ward Williams turn stories of African-American women into narratives of entrapment...." |
