Fashioned

Fashioned is not really a show about fashion, but rather an exploration of the various ways in which identity and persona are “fashioned” through clothes, tattoos, and other personal effects. The exhibit features the work of six photographers, all of whom approach the central theme of the show in very different ways. Each has a distinct eye for details and ironies that illuminate interesting aspects of the “self”-making process, from the t-shirts people choose to wear to the posturing of kids searching for an identity that fits.

Fashioned, at the Minnesota Center for Photography, runs May 3 through July 13., 612-824-5500.
