Rare Aesthetics brings together historical works by Julia Wachtel, Nancy Dwyer, Jessica Diamond, and Vikky Alexander in dialogue with Sofia Sinibaldi, Madeleine Ray Hines, Alix Vernet, Sophie Giraux, and Connor Marie Stankard. Spanning generations, the exhibition examines how images are produced, circulated, and internalized, focusing on their affective, social, and psychological dimensions.
