DESCRIPTION
In this 7-week Lecture Series, Sasha Wolf will be in conversation with some of contemporary photography’s leading artists as they share about their artistic journey. Topics we will cover include: project development, their creative process, significant milestones in their careers, the role of exhibitions and photobooks, among others.
Each session will include an opportunity for the artist to present their work, followed by an engaging and intimate discussion with Sasha. The rest of the time will be guided by participant questions leading each conversation in new directions and creating an exploratory dialogue.
Participants in this series of conversations will gain insights on contemporary photography and will have access to these artists in a unique context. The talks will not be recorded, and the dialogue is unlikely to be reconstructed in other forums.
The current schedule of sessions is as follows:
Phillip Toledano - October 28
Bryan Schutmaat - November 4
Yvonne Venegas - November 11
Susan Meiselas - November 18
Manjari Sharma - December 2
Gillian Laub - December 9
Jess T. Dugan - December 16
Sasha Wolf brings a variety of expert approaches to photography, from management of the Sasha Wolf Projects, to artist representation, to book editor and consultant, to a range of print and film projects. She is the author of PhotoWork: Forty Photographers on Process and Practice, published by Aperture in 2019, and hosts an accompanying podcast where she discusses the most contemporary topics in the field with a wide range of artists.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The Lecture Series is designed to appeal to photographers and others seeking inspiration and insights about contemporary photography. Those who will most benefit from it are experienced individuals seeking deeper understandings and appreciation for the nuances of photographic communication. Participants will learn directly from each artist’s experience and the choices they make in creating their work.
