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.
Lawson will lead the symposium alongside Dorothy Krauklis, Princeton University Professor of Visual Arts, Jeff Whetstone, Director of the Program in Visual Arts, and James Welling, Lecturer with the Rank of Professor of Visual Arts.
