What in your life is calling you, when all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul?

On June 11th the Broad Museum will debut its first special exhibition with a comprehensive retrospective on artist Cindy Sherman. The exhibition—titled Cindy Sherman: Imitation of life—centers on the artist’s engagement with twentieth century cinema, and could not be a more appropriate choice for the newest addition to the Los Angeles art institutions. Read our interview with Philipp Kaiser, former curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, about his experience curating the exhibition, the significance of the retrospective, and the evergreen nature of Sherman’s work.

Human beings do not grow in perfect symmetry. They oscillate, expand, contract, back track, arrest themselves, retrogress, mobilize, atrophy in part, proceed erratically according to experience and traumas. Some aspects of the personality mature, others do not. Some live in the past, some in the present. Some people are futuristic characters, some are cubistic, some are hard-edged, some geometric, some abstract, some impressionistic, some surrealistic! Some of their insights remain relative, and we can no longer think of a character as good or bad, but a combination of characteristics which vary according to relationship and the point in time. We know now that we are composites in reality, collages of our fathers and mothers, of what we read, of television influences and films, of friends and associates, and we know we often play roles quite removed from our genuine selves.

She did not want to move, or to speak. She wanted to rest, to lean, to dream. She felt very tired.
