‘Chimpanzees, more than any other non-human animal, stir something deep and conflicted within us. This appears to be the case whether the encounter is live or whether it is mediated through representations. During the month of November 2007, Who’s Looking? will provide the Wesleyan community with opportunities to explore our complex relations to our next of kin through photographs, film, theater and words’
The exhibition includes photographs by Frank Noelker Chimp Portraits 2002-2006, and a photo installation by Lori Gruen A Family Portrait 1920-2007.
Panel Discussion: Friday, 03 November 2007, 1130-1330. .
