Catherine Opie: Genre / Gender / Portraiture
Nearly four decades of work from the photographer who redefined the expression of gender in contemporary queer portraiture A leading voice in contemporary photography, Catherine Opie has been known for her portraits of the queer scene in California since the late 1980s. A fundamental element of Opie’s work is the observation of different gender performances through a critical revision of the genre of portraiture. Her photography emphasizes how portraiture has the power to both reinforce and deconstruct conventional and binary expressions of gender. The title of this publication and the MASP exhibition it accompanies is based on the double meaning of the word gênero in Portuguese, meaning both “gender” and “genre.” For her first solo show in Brazil, Opie enters into dialogue with the tradition of the portrait—a way of representing the human figure that dates to the 15th century in the West—producing an archive of diverse presentations of gender and sexuality.

Saint Catherine
As a recovering Irish American Catholic, she has mostly traded the world of communion and confessionals for the “city-girl” struggle of work-life balance, family, and her relationships. The only thing she has not been able to shake is her fear that something bad will happen if she misses Sunday mass. But her fears become a reality when she skips mass for the first time and discovers she is now being possessed by a demon claiming to be the prince of hell. As she takes matters into her own hands and attempts to exorcise these demons (both the paranormal and emotional kind), Catherine must face her buried guilt and what it truly means to be good.

Miten Walesin prinsessa Catherinesta tuli se nainen, joka hän tänään on?Tavallisista oloista lähtöisin oleva älykäs ja kunnianhimoinen tyttö tapaa yliopistossa prinssin, joka aikanaan perii valtaistuimen.

Kaikki nämä ansiot ovat tehneet tästä dynaamisesta parista kuningassuvun suosituimmat jäsenet. Vastaan on kuitenkin tullut myös ikäviä kommentteja ja paljastuksia – varsinkin Catherinen ja Williamin väleistä prinssi Harryyn ja Meghan Markleen, samoin kuin Catherinen sairastumisesta.
