·  Make Your Own Life: Artists In & Out of Cologne
Loosely focused on the dynamic Cologne art scene of the late-1980s and 1990s -- a context that has influenced and paralleled developments in Los Angeles, London, New York, and elsewhere up until the present -- this group exhibition brings together works by three generations of artists.

·  Candida Höfer: Architecture of Absence
For over 20 years, Candida Höfer has conducted an ongoing exploration of the architecture of interior spaces, usually public or institutional facilities where people with shared interests, needs, or goals gather. Her images are captivating for their formal qualities as well as for a conceptual underpinning that categorizes each space according to its use.

·  Ramp Project: Zoe Strauss
Philadelphia artist Zoe Strauss is a self-taught street photographer who captures images of the sites and people she encounters in her neighborhood and travels. Like Robert Frank or Diane Arbus, Strauss records the mundane and freakish and exposes beauty in the gritty city.
