As a philanthropist and supporter of the creative and visual arts, Marjorie G. Rosen has held several leadership positions with public service organizations based New York City, including the New York Botanical Garden and Friends of the Costume Institute. Marjorie G. Rosen is also deeply involved with the International Center of Photography (ICP) and has played a key role in the organization’s Infinity Awards Committee.
For more than three decades, ICP has held its annual Infinity Awards to celebrate artists and photographers in multiple areas of visual art, including fashion photography and photojournalism. The 2019 Honoree for the category Emerging Talent is 32-year-old photographer Jess T. Dugan, who is renowned for her raw and sensual portraits.
In her 2015 exhibition, Every Breath We Drew, Dugan explored the overlapping experiences between deliberately constructed masculinity and seeking intimate connection with others. Her subjects are posed in normally personal settings, such as their bedrooms, conveying vulnerability and closeness.
The collection also includes several self-portraits, which symbolize the artist’s own desire to internalize traits she associates with gentle masculinity. Every Breath We Drew will be shown at Truman State University from January 21 to February 28, 2020.
