Works from the special exhibition "Below the Surface" collages by Martha Rosler.  
From the exhibition blurb: "Martha Rosler—artist, feminist, political activist, and theorist—continuously takes aim at the intertwined structures and strictures of social concerns such as gender norms, labor issues, consumer culture, and urban development—and everything that falls by the wayside. The scrutiny of evolving media and image strategies, which she dissects with sly humor and grit, is an intrinsic part of this undertaking—to reveal the narratives and power structures embedded within."

 "First Lady (Pat Nixon)" 1967-70 by Martha Rosler

 "Amputee (Election II)" 2004 by Martha Rosler

"The Gray Drapery" 2006 by Martha Rosler
