Laurel Nakadate investigates the concepts of feminism, portraiture and temporal documentation in her series of self-portraits, 365 Days: A Catalogue of Tears, on view at Leslie Tonkonow which has been extended to July 25. As the title suggests, the series documents Nakadate before, during, and after crying through January 1st to December 31st, 2010. Both an archival work and, in many ways, a performance, the series comments on the legitimacy of archiving one’s private life for the purpose of public exposure.
