Poetic Record: Photography in a Transformed World
Thursday, October 10 - Friday, October 11
Organized by Deana Lawson, photographer and guest editor of Aperture No. 256, “Arrhythmic Mythic Ra,” the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton will present a two-day symposium and concurrent exhibition that will gather photo-based artists, writers, curators, historians, and graduate and undergraduate students to explore photography’s instability, fallibility, and its troubled relationship to the document.
