A new generation of artists challenge accepted notions of the photographic portrait in this provocative exploration of the face. Amongst those included are Aziz + Cucher, Valérie Belin, Nancy Burson, Rineke Dijkstra, Lee Friedlander, Inez van Lamsweerde/Vinoodh Matadin, Orlan, Martin Parr, Thomas Ruff, and Gillian Wearing.

Inspired by such social phenomena as the integration of digital technology into daily life, the increasingly high rate of urban and suburban growth, and population sprawl, Out of Site focuses on the creation of fictional architectural spaces and topographies, and examines the cultural basis of artists’ renewed interest in architecture and spatial relationships. With work by Ricci Albenda, Aziz + Cucher, Patrick Meagher, Julie Mehretu, Shirley Tse, and others.

Essays by Anne Ellegood, Rhonda Lane Howard and Mark Wigley.
Foreword by Lisa Phillips.
