What’s coming to the Getty in 2018?Outcasts: Prejudice and Persecution in the Medieval WorldOp

What’s coming to the Getty in 2018?Outcasts: Prejudice and Persecution in the Medieval WorldOpening January 30 through April 8, 2018Medieval manuscripts preserve stories of faith, romance, and knowledge, but their luxurious illuminations can reveal disturbing narratives as well. Often created for the privileged classes, such books nevertheless provide glimpses of the marginalized and powerless and reflect their tenuous place in society. Attitudes toward women, Jews and Muslims, the poor, those perceived as socially divergent, and foreign peoples beyond European borders can be discerned through caricature and polemical imagery as well as marks of erasure and censorship. Cut! Paper Play in Contemporary PhotographyOpening February 27 through May 27, 2018This exhibition explores the interaction that paper plays an integral role in the practice of many photographers working today. Some create paper models with images gleaned from current events, popular magazines, or the internet for the express purpose of photographing them. Others cut, layer, fold, and/or assemble representational photographs to introduce tactile or narrative elements. The exhibition features works by Thomas Demand, Christiane Feser, Daniel Gordon, Soo Kim, Matt Lipps, and Christopher Russell. Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical WorldOpening March 27 through September 9, 2018This major international loan exhibition explores the artistic interplay between these cultures from the Bronze Age to Roman times (2000 BC–AD 300).
