We are looking at a field of photographs installed tightly side by side. Most of them are images of women performing an array of activities--leaning on a ladder, speaking into a microphone, making notes at a desk, lying on a medical examination table in a gown, etc. They seem to come from different time periods. Some are in black and white, some are in color. A few of them are photographs of helicopters flying overhead.

性视界传媒 the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
