Join Riva this month as she explores the current show at the Guggenheim Museum - Going Dark: The Contemporary Figure at the Edge of Visibility.  Twenty eight contemporary artists including: Kerry James Marshall, Lorna Simpson, Charles White, Dawoud Bey and others explore what it means to be seen and to see each other, especially when seeing takes place across racial and other forms of difference. How does looking at each other through these layers of stereotyping and misunderstanding distort our perception of the world? If being visible is dangerous, is there solace to be found in near-invisibility? These are the questions Ashley James, the curator, asks. The exhibition offers us an opportunity to explore work by artists we've seen as well as many new artists.
