VIEW EXHIBITION

In the gallery’s Waiting Room, Anna Shteynshleyger will exhibit a selection of photographs from her 2014-2016 series 26 Court. After a weekly therapy session, the artist found herself wandering through the halls of the office building, photographing the many doors belonging mostly to medical and legal practitioners. After about a year she had photographed each and every door of the building, resulting in 139 archival pigment prints. The artist’s Waiting Room installation will be the first time this series has been presented to the public.

Anna Shteynshleyger was born in Soviet Union and immigrated to the United States in 1992. She received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, and her MFA from Yale University School of Art. She has had solo presentations at The Renaissance Society, the University of Chicago; Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel; Moti Hasson Gallery, New York; and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL. She has shown widely in group contexts at institutions including the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; International Center of Photography; the Israel Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Jewish Museum, New York; and Murray Guy Gallery, New York, among others.
