Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life.
Walking through the The Broad’s first special exhibition, Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life, feels like turning covers of the magazines, switching movies and life stories, never existed but yet so real. It is a one-person show: she is a model, a photographer, a stylist and a producer – all in one face, or should I say faces? Her works are raw, deliberately imperfect, captivating and complete. Each picture provokes many questions in regards to the artist’s motivation, expression and statement. The funny fact is that most likely you will have answers to all of your questions by the end of the exhibition. What Cindy does best is providing a fruitful soil for growth and support to any of your theories about her work. She is the blank canvas not only for her own art but for your interpretation as well.
You can elaborate on Cindy’s role in her self-created stories until October 2nd at The Broad Museum, Los Angeles.
