Brian Weil, 1979-95: Being in the World is the first career retrospective for an exceptional photographer whose life's work shed light on insular and otherwise invisible communities during the 1980s and 1990s. The exhibition features sixty photographs, prints, and videos, and was curated by Stamatina Gregory for the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania. Brian Weil, 1979-95 features five distinct bodies of work: Sex (1979-1981), Miami Crime (1982-1984), Hasidim (1985-1987), AIDS (1985-1991), and Transgender (1992-1995). SMMoA is the only west coast venue for this exhibition, on view through April 18 in the Museum's Main Gallery.
