Ruby Rumie and Justine Graham at Nohra Haime Gallery

Can you guess who is the housekeeper in each of these photos and who is the employer?  Columbian artist Ruby Rumie and French-American photographer Justine Graham teamed up to question the perceived and real differences between one hundred women in photographs and accompanying interviews at Nohra Haime Gallery.  As the uniform white shirts worn by the women suggest, Rumie and Graham emphasize the women’s shared hopes, fears and more in questionnaires and videos that foreground their similarities.   (On view in Chelsea through Nov 16th).
