PAST EXHIBITION

Beyond the Backyard

June 20, 2008—August 23, 2008

In June 2008, the MoCP opens Beyond the Backyard, a group exhibition of photography and video that examines the outdoor places in which we spend our leisure time. Centering on the traditional backyard but considering alternatives in other settings as well, the exhibition proposes to look “beyond the backyard” in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The works on display, drawn largely from Museum's permanent collection and its Midwest Photographers Project, present a multi-faceted view, exploring various ways photographers have perceived and portrayed the backyard over the last 50 years.
