Ma Curatorial Exhibition: Peep/Show | Opening Reception

MA Curatorial Exhibition: PEEP/SHOW ABOUT THE EXHIBITION USC Roski’s MA Cohort in Curatorial Practices and the Public Sphere presents PEEP/SHOW, an exhibition that draws on the historical and cultural resonance of the peep show box to investigate what compels us—again and again—to the acts of looking and imaging. The exhibition brings together works that examine voyeurism, representation, surveillance technologies, and the mechanics of spectatorship. While eclectic in subject and material, these works collectively turn our gaze back onto the apparatus itself: how it hapes the images we consume, the selves we perform, and the ways those performances become bound to our sense of identity. In doing so, PEEP/SHOW complicates traditional binaries—observer and subject, self and other, performer and viewer—disrupting the moralized frameworks that often govern discussions of voyeurism. By foregrounding intention on both sides of the viewing relationship, the exhibition seeks to open a more expansive and agential conversation around the pleasures and perils of self-imaging in an era of political and conceptual instability.
