鈥淢e, Myself & I" presents a lively selection of contemporary work made over the past five years by a group of emerging and recognizable artists who are investigating the historically rich realm of self-portraiture. They confront issues of self-identity and transformation, appearance and role-playing, race and gender, and reality and myth as both the subject and the creator.听 Guest curators Paul Laster and Renee Riccardo are former adjunct curators of photography at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York. Laster is art editor at flavorpill.net, senior editor at 鈥淎rt Asia Pacific鈥 and a contributing writer at 鈥淎rt in America鈥 and 鈥淭ema Celeste.鈥 Riccardo is an independent curator and consultant who directed ARENA, a gallery exhibiting emerging artists from 1991-2003. She founded ARENA Projects in 2004 to organize exhibitions for galleries and institutions.听
