David LaChapelle: All of a Sudden. Internationally known artist David LaChapelle is one of the most frequently published photographers, best known for his large-scale, hyper-clear photographs of celebrities and for his iconic music videos (Mariah Carey, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, among others). LaChapelle merges contemporary photography with art history. He references the work of Andy Warhol, Georgia O’Keeffe, as well as the Renaissance and Baroque masters in many of his photographs. Over 40 works by LaChapelle are on view at the Benton Museum this fall.

Yishai Jusidman: Prussian Blue. Mexican artist Yishai Jusidman explores whether visual imagery can adequately represent the horror of the Holocaust. Prussian blue, a pigment associated with Nazi technologies of mass annihilation, becomes the very medium through which Jusidman materializes this representational and moral dilemma. Painting the silent architectures of the camps, the artist denies us any position of comfort, of moral certainty that we have moved beyond such barbarity. This exhibition is displayed across three UConn venues–The Benton Museum, Contemporary Art Galleries, and The Dodd Center for Human Rights.
