Almost twenty years ago, Susan Sontag wrote an essay entitled Regarding the Pain of Others, in which she asked an important question: How can we mediate suffering that is unimaginable for those who haven't experienced it themselves? One can now search for the answer, which is more relevant than ever in this time of war, at DOX. Works by more than forty important artists in a new group show entitled The Pain of Others may serve as guideposts.
