It is the first survey of this provocative Polish-born, New York-based artist's photography.
Known for working in a wide variety of media including installation, fiber art, resin paintings, and collage, Uklański (born 1968) invests overlooked and exhausted styles with new meanings—and similarly explores clichéd or obsolete photographic languages.
Nearly half of the works on display in the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition will be from The Joy of Photography (1997-2007), the artist's seminal yet under-known series.
Also on view will be the related installation, Fatal Attraction: Piotr Uklański Selects from the Met Collection, a lively "artist’s choice" of works from 11 different curatorial departments at the Met and 60 works from the Department of Photographs.
