EVENTS: Leonard Nimoy’s Photography at MASS MoCA

 

Leonard Nimoy had a secret, but he let the cat out of the bag with Secret Selves at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Mass. The secret was Mr. Spock’s shadow career as a fine-art photographer, and the exhibition is the first museum show dedicated to Nimoy’s work. For Secret Selves, Nimoy recruited volunteers in Northampton, Mass., willing to be photographed, posed, and dressed as their true or imagined identities. Accompanying the large, life-size photographs in the exhibition is a video documenting the artist’s conversations with his subjects, sure to make viewers ponder who their own secret selves may be.
