Establishing points of convergence and disruption between works separated by time, Examining Pictures presents the viewer with a maze of memories, concepts, stories, and flashbacks on the subject of painting. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art and Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, the exhibition was curated by the MCA’s Manilow Senior Curator Francesco Bonami and the Whitechapel’s Head of Programming Judith Nesbitt.

Examining Pictures is presented in the North Exhibition Gallery on the second floor of the museum. The exhibition is accompanied by an 80-page full-color illustrated catalogue with essays by Bonami and Nesbitt.
