Over the 4th of July weekend, Jill Greenberg will have a solo pop-up show titled “Wet Panties” at The Mark Humphrey Gallery in Southampton curated by Carole Reed.  Since the age of 10, Jill Greenberg has staged photographs and created characters using the media of drawing, painting, sculpture, film, and photography.

She is known worldwide for her uniquely human animal portraits which intentionally anthropomorphize her subjects, as well as her infamous series “End Times,” which struck a nerve in its exploration of religious, political, and environmental themes exploiting the raw emotion of toddlers in distress.

Her newer work has marked a return to the postmodern feminist theory that inspired her senior thesis, “The Female Object,” as an art student at the Rhode Island School of Design in the 1980s addressing “the disciplinary project of femininity” and the redetermined failure of all women who attempt to “succeed” at it.

As a working photographer, Greenberg travails to straddle the line between assignment work and her own personal work.  At times, the artist has received a backlash from her political art, which also informs Greenberg’s choice to return to the question of what is tolerated by women in our culture.

The exhibition will feature selections from Greenberg’s three most recent series—“Glass Ceiling,” “Horse,” and “‘Paintings.’”
