In collaboration with The University of the Arts, Equality Forum presents the photographic works of Ryan McGinley and David Hilliard. Ryan McGinley comes to us following his successful 2003 solo exhibit at New York's Whitney Museum. Recognized with a front-page feature in the January 2003 Sunday Style section of The New York Times, McGinley was also named one of Out magazine's "2003 Top 100." A lecturer and faculty member at both Yale and Harvard, David Hilliard has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in the United States and abroad. His photography depicts panoramic views of ordinary scenes set over a sequence of uniquely constructed images.
