Carrie Schneider

10 Exhibitions Opening This Week

Reading Women, a new exhibition by Carrie Schneider at Monique Meloche in Chicago, invites viewers into a world of intimate simplicity, devoid of the distractions by modern day electronic gadgetry that have engrossed day-to-day life. The project documents seventy women, mostly from creative backgrounds, as they read a personally selected book by a female author. Comprising photographic portraits as well as video and an exquisite corpse style artist book, Reading Women captures the innocent moments of total abandonment of self-awareness that comes when one allows herself to be totally taken over by the powerful narrative of a good book.
