The Family Stage: Photographs by Janet Delaney, Todd Hido, and Cecil McDonald Jr.

September 24 – November 15, 2009

The Family Stage approaches domestic life from a multitude of photographic and human perspectives. The show immerses the viewer in the complexities of family dynamics, the simplicities of humdrum objects, and the sometimes turbulent, often sublime rhythms of home.
